Millennials Are Waiting For The End Of Capitalism

Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) is a huge part of the Millennial psyche. But while that extends to everything that goes down on social media, this generation doesn’t seem to be worried about missing out on retirement funds.

Millennials—or Generation Y—are today’s late teens and twenty-somethings born in the 80s and 90s, and they number some 80 million people in the United States.

And because FOMO is the Millennial common denominator, the financial detours are numerous.

Thanks to the meteoric rise of social media advertising, Millennials have endless options for spending money, and they account for an estimated $1.3 trillion in annual consumer spending.

Half of Millennials have made unplanned purchases because of something they’ve seen on social media.

And half claim they spend more money on nights out than they do on rent or mortgage payments.

That’s an expanded age group for the millennial generation.

Wonder who they think will pay for the lifestyle they demand? Bernie?

Bernie the fossil will lead them through to the other side of Stalin.

Fools.....

[Old Yeller]

Waiting for the end of capitalism and the end of the 2nd Amendment. Like sheep going to their slaughter.

[Garvin]

Make them pay thier own way for everything. That will adjust thier attitudes, real fast and a hurry like.

I audited a political science class several years ago. The teacher asked the students, “Who would like to live in a socialist nation?” Everyone under the age of 40 eagerly raised their hands.

We’ve failed a generation of youth by allowing them to be brainwashed by progressives.

Capitalism is evil. Right up to the point they can’t purchase the latest smartphone or game box.

[TigersEye]

That will certainly put an end to living in their parent’s basements!

Wishing away capitalism must be like trading away a hand. You might not fully appreciate it until after it is gone.

As I've written about the dozen or so other times when people start bashing Millennials as pro-commie...

I know it's fashionable to consider Millenials a bunch of self-absorbed Obamabots. In fact, every generation of elders thinks the youths are a pack of losers. It happens.

But recall Trump's speech before the Boy Scouts last summer...he TORE IT UP and the Scouts? They LOVED IT.

Kids who are now 15 will get to vote in 2020...Young Millennials will also vote.

True, some men, you just can't reach. We'll never get the latest round of gun controlling rabble. But those at the margin, they're likely converts. Frankly, I would argue that there are a large proportion of youths who are ALREADY in our camp.

Specifically, consider Deplorable parents of soon-to-be (if not already) Deplorable Millennials. Any poll be it from the National Institute on Retirement Security (mentioned in this article) or something else speaking of Millennials being this or that should be treated with suspicion (more on this later). Deplorable parents likely hang up when a telemarketer calls, or walk away from dopes with clipboards, or not surrendering their IP address and filling out some online poll, thus causing an underweighting in polls. I suspect their Deplorable children are following suit.

Taking all of that into account, you'd expect Deplorable Millennials to be underrepresented in polls. And yet, close scrutiny of this often-quoted study that paints Millennials as "pro-Communism" pod eaters, all you need to do is scratch a little to find out things aren't all they're made out to be:

-The results are from an Online Survey!
-Sample size is 2,300 people from the public, age 16+...about the same number of people going to a local hall to catch some 1980s Band Reunion Tour.
-Millennials make up 559 people in this sample...so we're going to extrapolate across millions of Millennials on the basis of a few hundred souls who answered an online poll?
-even with all this statistical sampling mumbo-jumbo, the talking heads failed to note that 7 in 10 Americans as a whole either don’t know the definition of communism or misidentify it. What's noteworthy is that this ratio holds not just for Millennials but ALL AGE CATEGORIES. So if you're bashing the kidz, we should look in the mirror as well.
-whites had the highest favorable view of communism over any other race...they also had the highest unfavorable proportion of any race. Indeed, if you look at the favorable and unfavorable percentages, it looks like some dopes held the same views!!

I call BS on this claim that Millennials are in the tank for socialism and anti-capitalist. I'm not saying the little whippers don't need to have some smart pills. But a little critical analysis would behoove all of us, especially as we endeavor to get more folks on the MAGA train to win again in 2020.

Nothing scares millennials and probably their snowflake parents more than the free market. Being a Soros-paid community organizer, like the Hoggman, or any other common public parasite with a guaranteed taxpayer-supplied income, is much, much easier than being held to the the demands of liberty. Nothing demands more from us, or is more daunting, than the challenges of liberty-—self-responsibility with no one coming to your rescue.

These young sock-puppets sucking up to their marxist paymasters have no marketable skills in the private sector. That’s why they loathe the free market, and the values and virtues that make people successful. No one in the private sector is going to pay people like the Hoggman six figures to raise his fist and scream profanities to millions of gullible, clueless people like himself.

We have the public schools largely to blame for this. Students are taught from day one that success in the business world is criminal, and that hard work and rational thinking is for fools.

Wait until they find out they will no longer be able to afford the latest “smart” phone and will have to stand in line to get a cheap Obamaphone. I’m looking forward to seeing that.

Human nature = free market capitalism.

Ideologies which try to rule either are doomed.

Five thousand years of history proves this.

When Saddam’s regime fell in 2003 free market capitalism exploded in Iraq. I witnessed it first hand. IMO free market capitalism is the default mechanism of commercial interaction of human nature.

Long live the US Declaration of Independence and Constitution! Both are written in acknowledgement and support of human nature and free market capitalism.

And half claim they spend more money on nights out than they do on rent or mortgage payments.

That's because they're living in their parents' basement, hence no rent nor mortgage.

Please atop bashong millenials.I have plans I am currently working on to become a multi millionaire developing a wristband where for $99.98 a month they can report social injustices to my social injustice security company. When they see a social injustice they must fill out a large report form on very tiny keys about “ how they feel” , “do they require a safe space” ..etc... When they submit it to me , I do nothing except reply back “Thank you for your social injustice submittal!

It will make them feel like someone cares.

I plan on making millions.

Millen-losers are a definite subset.

Yep. Here’s a result from a survey.

More millennials came out to vote for Donald Trump than expected

“The National Exit Poll suggests that the actual split in the election was 55% for Clinton to 37% for Trump (an 18-point gap) among youth aged 18-29.”

37% would be about 8.8 million voters in the 18-29 age group. They were far outnumbered by white women who voted for Hillary, even though slightly less than half of the white women voted for her.

There are even younger ones, though, who are going to surprise most political class chatterers. There’s something new on the way.

Some how the author seems to be a typical Millennial ... can’t count.
