When the "millenials" (who I'll say [b]weren't even born in the fucking 21st century[/b]) think the next generation bitch and whine for no fucking reason when they're the generation that are voting for those two assholes.

WELCOME TO GENERATION FUCKED.

All right, counter-bitching (nothing personal at you, [@Verdaux]): blaming the millenials for the unfolding situation is bullshit. It's a long process of political degradation by the previous gens that gave us these two 'candidates' (cough cough) in the end. It's a classic situation of having to vote for the shiniest of two turds, which, I absolutely agree with you, is stupid and not the fate the people deserve. But you also cannot say that they did not get themselves into this. And no, not just the millenials.

ALSO! The classic 'millenials are lazy' trope. Fuck that in particular. You know who says it mostly? The baby boomers (Gen X is the smaller 'group' here, so I'm not placing much blame on them here). The people [i]who got everything handed to them with minimal effort.[/i] Blue collar dad working a factory job? Easy living! He could afford a house and feed his entire family, no problem. While us millenials work five times as much for a similar pay...[i]except that doesn't get you shit in today's world![/i] We don't buy houses anymore. We rent small dwellings (so that we at least have some roof over our heads) and then get suffocated by said rent for several years! Not to mention all the other shit (student loans anyone?) we have to put up with. The question is no longer 'can I get this nice (object of interest)?', but 'can I survive for another week?'. Savings? Bah! Who can afford that?

Citing Wikipedia:
[quote]As a group, baby boomers were the wealthiest, most active, and most physically fit generation up to the era in which they arrived, and were amongst the first to grow up genuinely expecting the world to improve with time. They were also the generation that received peak levels of income; they could therefore reap the benefits of abundant levels of food, apparel, retirement programs, and sometimes even "midlife crisis" products. The increased consumerism for this generation has been regularly criticized as excessive.[/quote]
So yeah. You did have it much better than us. Your views on life don't apply anymore, [i]so stop pressuring us with it.[/i]

Fun fact: The baby boomer generation has been titled the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me_generation]'Me generation'[/url] for their generally excessive narcissism. Good job people.

Bottom line: Sorry if this offended everyone. It was just a general rant, not aimed at anyone personally. I know baby boomers who are absolutely wonderful people and I'm sure most of you are. Kthxbai.
