At Least My Generation Will Have Our Revenge On The Millennials

With all the awful things happening now – the discord, the anger, the stupidity – at least those of my generation can rest easy knowing that the Millennials are going to suffer after we’re gone. Sure, I’m going to die a lot sooner than them – unless someone invents some sort of expensive life extension potion that I can buy but they can’t because they will still be paying off their degrees in Oppression Studies and Virtue Signaling Arts until the year 2083. But at least I’ll know that we left them a suitably terrible world, since they are a terrible generation.

Millennials are the spawn we deserve – annoying, posturing, and frequently pierced. They are utterly convinced of their own moral superiority, and yet they don’t even believe in morals. Well, that’s not quite true – they just confuse morals with the increasingly bizarre patchwork of taboos and fetishes of the social justice weirdos they use as their moral compasses. When you ask people, “What’s the world’s biggest problem,” and they answer, “The structural paradigm imposed by cisgender Western males,” and you reply, “How about, I dunno, ISIS?” and they answer “Well, who are we to judge their culture?” it’s slappin’ time.

We warned them to stay off our figurative lawns, and now it’s time to figuratively tackle them like Kentucky libertarians.

I was born during the last week of the Baby Boom, making me…older than the Millennials. So I straddle that useless generation and the useless one that followed. It used to be called Generation X, but no one calls it that anymore because it made no lasting impression. Obama was in my generation. We’ll never live that down. In any case, I remember when calculators were newfangled, phones were attached to walls, and Showtime was the bomb.

OK, so we dug this country $20 trillion into debt, we have a world full of enemies and a military that’s collapsing, and we saddled Millennials with Obamacare, a magical system that makes healthcare worse, but at least it costs more. Yet they seem cool with it. Oh, and politically, the country is divided as never before, at least not since Lincoln, who you Millennials think owned slaves because … sheesh, you nitwits think Lincoln owned slaves.

There was a time when liberals and conservatives didn’t segregate themselves into different bubbles and hate at each other. Recently, Time magazine ran an article about some liberal chick who dumped a guy during a date because he voted for Trump. That never would have happened years ago. Instead, they would have finished their encounter, and he would have given her a fake number so he never had to deal with her pinko nagging again.

But we seem to be losing everything that made us great. Back in the day, we crushed uppity Russian empires, no thanks to commie-hugging liberals who told us that the Reds loved their children too. You Millennials know that awful Sting song – your mom used to listen to it in the Volvo while carting you to soccer or whatever other sick, soul-killing enrichment activities she forced you into instead of letting you run free in the streets and woods like we did. But now we cower at the same losers Reagan stripped of their Ural Mountain oysters in fear of them posting some super-persuasive Facebook ads targeted at making autoworkers in Michigan fall out of their deep and abiding love for Hillary.

Yeah, we messed up, but you Millennials reading this on your smartphones, which you can see without glasses or squinting, shouldn’t act so high and mighty. You had a chance to fix all of this and instead you’ve chosen to never move out of your parents’ houses and to just sit around and invent new pronouns for genders that don’t exist. A couple decades down the road, when I’m dead from chronic bitterness and drinking too much expensive cabernet that I buy with the Social Security money you’ll be toiling to pay me, you won’t have families or careers. You’ll be my age and still making coffee for the next generation of ingrates, the children of the immigrants and super-religious Christians who represent the only portion of America still making babies. You’ll come home to your used Mitsubishi love robot named Olive, reheat some Sara Lee avocado toast sticks, and watch Saturday Night Live as it tries to make fun of President Donald Trump, Jr.

But while we’re still here together, with me owning stuff and you struggling to afford your daily kombucha smoothie, we face many shared challenges. There’s that giant debt, and there are those foreign people who want to kill us, and there is the terrifying fact that we are at each others’ throats here at home. We know how this plays out if we don’t fix it – bad for me, but super-bad for you. Maybe we should try and square things away. Maybe we should stop assuming the worst about each other, start thinking about what unites us instead of what divides us, and work together to make a better tomorrow. Maybe.

But I guess that’s kind of up to you though, because as so many of you on Twitter like to point out, I’m going to die a lot sooner than you are. And that kind of makes the future your problem.

It’s all fun and games until one of these millennial picks your nursing home.

To everything in that Townhall article: AMEN!

I like the sound of President Donald Trump, Jr.!

Schlichter is decidedly fun to read.

You keep telling me to hate millenials but I won’t. I know so many wonderful ones. They aren’t perfect and neither has any “generation” been, not even the Greatest Generation.

[octex]

Great article by KS. Thanks for posting it all.

I was a War Baby (’42), so pre-date the Boomers. I often have thoughts similar to those expressed in the article.

I’ve tried to “teach” my daughter and 21-y/o granddaughter that bad days are ahead for them, with little success. Sigh...

This essay is so dumb.

White Millennials vote 50%-55% Republican.

Their parents vote close to 60% Republican.

Almost half of Millennials are non-white.

And they vote 80% Democrat.

Yes, now just imagine when Pol Pat came back from Paris and saw a dumb, idiot class of kids and he said to himself “I can be be King here via Communism like Mao!”

And the killing fields began.

It will happen here unless we as Americans stop funding Universities with grants tha promote Globalism and filth Socialism.

The greatest news I heard today was that 50% of all universities will be closed over the next 20 years because of online courses.

The Left only wins in physical communes. When the so called scholar can intimidate physically in the classroom, it is totally different from an online experience. I can be there watching my daughter’s class online!

The physical aspect will be gone and the left will be transparent.

Game on!

Here is one thing the author got wrong - this is very important: Obama was a baby-boomer - Born 1961.

GenXers started being born in 1964.

Stereotyping generations is fun, but when it comes to politics, you’re just identifying the most vocal of the cohort. Millenials are a little less conservative overall, but not much.

They are most certainly more “entitled” than any others. You can see this in the workplace anecdotally. GenXers are certainly more cynical, but not the original slackers at work - quite the contrary.

Also if the youth are liberal, especially the movers-and-shakers, the fault lies mostly with us GenXer “slacker” parents who focus on work and family, who hate the continued destruction of public schools, but do nothing.

Well, that was hideous.

Millennials didn’t train or fund their public school teachers or university instructors who taught them. They didn’t set the communistic, anti-American, anti-family policies used in corporate offices. You know who did that.

They didn’t shut down so much manufacturing on our soil since the ‘70s to facilitate lack of placement from degree programs in technologies. They didn’t make so many of themselves fatherless, either. That was done by feminists, bar associations, religious leaders, politicians and romanticist others (see Age of Romanticism, Hawthorne, Anthony, Fourier, “that magnificent pagan” Beecher, et al).

We know who did it. We see where the big pay is (government and government-derived). We know who the socialists are. We see who’s guilty. There’s no way to hide it. The word is already out.

I’m a Baby Boomer. I watched it happen. I submitted to training to discover realities of the generation before mine and the generation before that. There are many others like myself, who have been informing the young folks who do listen.

"This essay is so dumb."

Yes. It shows a lack of education and lack of moral grounding.

"White Millennials vote 50%-55% Republican.

Their parents vote close to 60% Republican.

Almost half of Millennials are non-white.

And they vote 80% Democrat."

Prepare good seats in advance, and watch those ranting generalizations against Millennials. They're going to get it. Watch them continue their bad behavior, until it happens.

This is from a year ago. I laughed again like seeing it for the first time.

"...the fault lies mostly with us GenXer “slacker” parents who focus on work and family, who hate the continued destruction of public schools, but do nothing."

You made a great point. But that was already done before the '80s, when I was in a secondary ed program in one of the presumably most old fashioned universities in the Midwest. Most of the instructors in all departments outside of technologies were man-hating, misogamist, communist perverts bent on destroying the U.S.A. The place was full of the elite among visiting ChiComs and foreign, radical Muslims. A chairman died from AIDS.

The public schools should be shut down pending the firing and permanent blacklisting of all teachers, administrators and queered-up parents on the boards. Same with the public universities.

But it's not going to happen. You all know, deep down inside, what's going to happen.

And it's the answer, in my opinion: the complete and natural flush and fill that's on the way. The so-called Millennials will learn well enough through hardship and attrition of numbers. Those who survive will be better leaders. No nation could do any worse than what is seen now. Look at the sizes of the piles of debt!

Kids are what we raise them to be. The parents allowed by the corrupt system to rear them (and the better ones who weren't discovered and crushed) determined where they were going.

Generally, the honestly moral ones will prevail. Pride goes before the fall, and there's no fiscal conservatism without moral conservatism.
