Millenials are Responsible for Destroying Our Country (generations, economy, education)

[BlakeJones]

I can't believe it took me this long to figure it out but these twerps from the country's worst generation are ruining this world. It hit me when I read this expose from Glen Greenwald about 'Hall Monitor' tatle-tale "reporters" ( https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the...and-censorship ) and when I looked them up they all had in common that they were infantile 30-somethings that grew up with no intellectual development whatsoever.

It led me to more interesting articles about Millenials, one of which was on Buzzfeed (which they would never publish now, and you can see that with half the images censored and removed since original publication in July 2016):

19 Reasons Why Millennials Are Totally Destroying This Country

1. They have bad hobbies.
2. They're terrible at saving.
3. They don't care about the important things.
4. They hate having fun.
5. They never make good investments.
6. They've got it too easy.
7. They never get off their dang phones.
8. I mean, COME ON. LOOK UP, MILLENNIALS.
9. They can't take a joke.
10. They don't work hard enough.
11. They're always getting offended over everything.
12. I mean, EVERYTHING!!!
13. They've got terrible ideas.
14. Their heads are always in the clouds.
15. Did I mention they're always on their darn phones?
16. They're useless.
17. They can't do anything right.
18. They take too many selfies.
19. And they're not miserable enough.

I will note that the first user comment below is "says the generation that raised them",
and that person is not wrong. 100% the worst parenting generation on top of it that
gave us this disease. TOTAL dereliction of duty

And they won’t stay off my grass!

After the left took over education, it was just a matter of time.

Generational issues are not new:

Heck, one of my grandmothers was kicked out of the house - she was a flapper and cut her hair and had shortened her skirt.

OP, was it hard to type while angrily shaking a cane in the air at the same time?

[*]They have bad hobbies.

Love this list. Basically it translates to "They have different interests than I do and that's BAD because DIFFERENT = BAD!"

Nothing in this list describes the millennials I raised. It’s just awful that they all have advanced degrees, own their own homes and make six figure incomes while my brother the Boomer just filed bankruptcy for the second time.

Every generation contains a mix of responsible and crappy people. It has always been so and ever shall be. Amen.

Their parents are to blame too. Buy them cell phones when they're really young. Kid turns sixteen, gets their driver's license, and Mommy & Daddy buy them a car. Ridiculous.

Not sure I agree with the whole list though. There are some great kids out there who work really hard and are ambitious.

Good for your kids, the majority of their peers - not so much

And by advanced degrees majoring in Gender Studies and Political Correctness isn't exactly promising for the future of civilization

Hmmm. Which generation brought up Millenials?

Apple never falls far from the tree.

I think there is an interesting point to be made about how generations make a difference.

The G.I Greatest generation had the boomers and the boomers had the millenials.

The silent generation birthed Gen X and now Gen Z.

The first group makes up a larger portion of the population.
