OPINION: Millennials are a disgrace in humanity history

With the proliferation of the internet and social media - as well as the availability of information through video-sharing sites like YouTube - this generation has the tools to be the best ever. Information to build wealth, get in shape, find romance, and simply become a better You is everywhere. But it starts with pragmatism and acceptance of responsibility.

With so many options and variety comes the ability for abuse. Whether it's porno or video games there are productive and unproductive things one can do with their time. Ultimately, we're here for 80 or 90 years then we vanish. I wanna spend that time having as much fun and living life to the fullest as I can.

 

Hey guy I hate myself for saying this on account of that I'm racist and sexist, but you're vastly overgeneralizing, and probably projecting. What you're talking about is polarization and you're only seeing one pole. The hypersexual televisionstagram zombie bug-people slaves are even more zombie buggish than generations prior, but you fail to see the #woke side, probably because you yourself are watching too much television and spending too much time on social media, so that's all you see. Think about it, millenials saying "i hate millenials" is so common it's a cliche, yet you fail to acknowledge that, and the generation you see is a reflection of your own internal world. Think about it, we're here in protest to hypersexuality! It's kinda like the only way to be a rebel today is to be a genuinely good and virtuous person who thinks for himself. So don't go shitting on my whole generation (unless it's baby boomers in which case shit on them violently), cuz the only generation that's objectively better than us is Gen Z. There's lots of us, so keep up with your journey of bettering yourself and realize that you're not special, if you're doing it there's millions of us worldwide who are too!

 

I don't think Millenials are a disgrace to humanity... but I do think our generation is not particularly original and much culture is piggybacking off former generations... e.g. Hipsters.

We live in quite dull and safe times in the West. I think in the past there was more urgency about life so people took more risks.

 

I swear the more I read post the more I think this man was trying to shit post.

 

Boomers did have more economic security than Millennials, but Millennials are benefiting from technology Boomers didn't have. Does generational conflict make sense? If so then neither Millennials, Gen Xers or Boomers can complain compared to all the generations that came before them when the West was rife with poverty, disease and misery.

 

No doubt that all generations suck to one degree or another, but Millennials are in the spotlight now, and this generation does have some serious problems. Including entitlement, lack of taste, lack of a desire for critical thought, and the root cause IMO, moral relativism. Everyone is out there pursuing "their own truth" which is a load of crap. There is truth, and it doesn't depend on how any of us feel about it. If Millennials want to do better, we need to start looking for what is true, rather than trying to make our feelings into facts.

 

I agree with a lot of the assessments. I do think it's a sliding scale for the millennials. I'm an early 1980's baby but the ones born after seem to get worse for the narcissism scale I find. Especially females who are so obscenely addicted to taking selfies it's ridiculous.

Seriously, step away from social media. Between snap chatting, Instagram, Tinder, and the rest it's just a joke.

It was reported yesterday millennials in the UK are on course to being the fattest generation ever. 7 out of 10 they say will be classed as overweight.
It's just a staggering statistic.

 

Your typical millenial is all the people who got butthurt and cried when they found out killary was not going to win.

 

I agree with this, but the truth is a foreign language to most people.

 

No, actually we were told that Trump never even had a chance from the beginning. Then right up on election night we were told she had 93 percent chance of being the President. The reality and the truth is always being obfuscated by the left.

Hopefully this reply is a much more imaginative talking point you were looking for.

 

As a generation Z’er immigrated from China, I believe the problem with Millennials is that they took freedom for granted; USSR and other tyrannical governments fell, and the theocracies in the Middle East are no where as big as a threat to the US than USSR. Millennials did not experience the lack of freedom of speech in China, where the internet is regulated and YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook censored. Religious group such as the Faluengong is also persecuted, their members’ organs harvested by the government gastapo.
The lack of a foreign communist threat means that Millennials have more faith in the government and socialism, even though both demonstrated to be malevolent with overwhelming evidence.

Millennial white males also seems to be persecuted in Western Culture, since they lack the guidance and the usherance that served previous generations very well. This phenomenon explains the explosive popularity of Jordan Peterson, who preached to young men about the cruel world that should have came from their parents.

Just my take, I realize that I sound like a 60 year old, but my upbringing in China and the sweet taste of American Freedom led me to this conclusion.
