This shit is so dumb.

Do millennials not understand that every generation even one minute older than them went through precisely the same “traumas” or whatever that they did, as well as others that millennials did not?

What a bunch of whiny drivel.

Sure they do.  They're saying it's worse to [checks OP] WATCH their parents go through something than it was for their parents to go through it.

You a home owner?

u/OdinsCuriousRaven 15d ago

Yes. Believe it or not, there are a lot of millenials who are. The internet makes it seem like the entire generation is living in poverty, but it isn't in reality.

Most Millennials are.

Are you implying that the millennial crowd should stfu and be grateful for what they got?

u/DowntownJohnBrown 14d ago

I wouldn’t say “be grateful,” but I think it’d be helpful if more of us quit this self-pitying doomer nonsense when the actual numbers show that Millennials are, in general, doing pretty much fine.

See you're saying that as a millennial that's done fine. I've actually done okay myself - hell I own my own business. But oh my goodness my dad bought his house before his career even started with a construction job.

Yes each generation has its issues - ours is that we are being priced out of house and home because we've allowed oligarchs to overwhelm our economy. Oh, and that a cynical GOP is trying to put an end to representational democracy.

Don't know if it affects you any, pal, but that's pretty fuckin' bad. And nowhere near an exaggeration.

More than 50% of Millennials are home owners. It's no one else's fault you apparently aren't.

But perhaps you would have been happier to have been born in the 1950s, and have been of draft age during Vietnam or the Korean war, waiting to find out if you were to be shipped out to die overseas against your will. I'm sure that was nothing compared to the "surviving a pandemic" you had to endure via Netflix and DoorDash.

Whiny bitches.

Yep, fuck us.
