Made me think of this.
I’m not sure where you are from, so it maybe a location thing. I have one daughter that is a millennial and my other is gen-y. I’m around them, their friends and other youth regularly. They are hard working, responsible and conservative. I am not an ageist, but if I were going to be, I would single out people about ten years older than me as being the socialists that are ruining this country. I’m at the tail end of baby boomers. I tend to get along well with people much older than me and much younger than me. As for the young people in this country, so few have yet to make any impact yet. Wait until they are 40 and see how they turn out.
Retarded is no way to go throughout life.
It depends how they are raised.
I’ve got four. Millennial and Gen Z
All are independent and well employed.
One is a trucker. He was workin for a company that went bankrupt. His boss made a phone call on his behalf and told them my son was the hardest working kid he’d ever known.
He was hired without an interview.
So glad to hear it-—sounds like you raised them well. I actually have two sons both are late 20s, both successful, married.
Ive always talked about politics with them since they were little—actually we discussed everything. My younger one is more moderate/conservative than his older brother, but I wouldn’t call either one, left wing. They’re out in the real world, immersed in the competitive marketplace, marriage, taxes etc—all has a way of opening eyes to conservative principles.
But boy are some of their friends progressive...saying things like, “it would be a much better country if the government would buy a house for everyone to have as their own, it would take away envy and resentment and there would be more peace”
No intérêt in even considering free market principles...some dont seem to have connected that the affluent lives their parents gave them is directly related to the capitalist system we have.
Exactly. And I bet every generation going back to cavemen have said negative things about the younger generation.
Piglosi, Shmoozer, Shifty Shift, Clintonista, are all boomers and ushered in this Socialist nightmare in our Republic. They used social sciences and psychological studies to promote Marxism in the colleges and later on in grade school to indoctrinate the younger generations. The Boomers were the beatnicks, hippies, and post modernists that were at the head of this gradual transition. If anything the younger generations were born and bred by the boomers to usher in the new Socialist global “Leap Forward” that we are now seeing in fruition. So no, you’re wrong, I hold the boomers responsible for ignoring the warning signs and allowing - either directly or indirectly - the ruining of the future generations.
Media (not just news, but 'entertainment' media with political agendas) and academia.
Who put them in public school, and then financed their college miseducation?
Those illegitimate children? Ha. Look at those who had influence in their upbringing and education.
