Why did an alarming percentage of the Millennial generation embrace socialism? Here's why.
If you're over 50, you might remember occasionally seeing small children throw temper tantrums in public, 25 or 30 years ago, and wondering what those kids would be like when they grew up.
Well, now you know.
The problem is twofold. First, we Baby Boomers raised a generation of selfish, entitled brats. (I do not include my own children in that description, and if that seems hypocritical and self-serving — well, you don't know my kids.)
Second, in their entitled brattiness, an alarming percentage of that generation — the Millennials — has embraced socialism.
That's a disaster for this country because socialism is not just an evil ideology, although it is that — responsible, in its various iterations (including communism and fascism) for somewhere in the neighborhood of 110 million murders just in the last century or so. Nor is it merely an absurd economic system, although it is that, too, ignoring the immutable law of supply and demand as well as basic human nature.

The baby boomer “progressives” in government are pretty much evil scum too. Their children are sure to be even worse.
Lots of volumes in that Encyclopedia...
The Encyclopedia of Millennialism ....
They have loads of knowledge.
But no wisdom.
They will not survive what’s coming their way.
There were a lot of articles in the late ‘80s and ‘90s speculating about what effect mood-altering substances like Ritalin would have on kids taking them when they grew up.
Maybe we know, now.
I am generally reticent to criticize people based on the era they were born in, and Millennials are no different. I know there are smart and conservative Millennials, but I will say this:
There seems to be (as the author states) a far higher percentage of young people who buy into socialism, Marxism, CRT, and political correctness than there ever has been before.
110 million murders by Communist leaders’ orders....
Dems will say they needed gun control.
I believe Aristotle said that the young are full of enthusiasm for changing the world and that they were particularly disadvantaged because they have so little knowledge of it.
I usually try to have a degree of patience with young people in that respect. I try to remember they don’t have the life experiences to make informed judgements, and sometimes that takes time.
Anyone who is 30 years old and still operates under that disadvantage deserves contempt.
I’m seeing a backlash from the young against the Woke.
This may prove to be a repeat of the resentment the Post-Boomers had against the “60s hippies”.
That is exactly right...
Young people today talk socialism, socialism...They only speak of what they hear...They have never lived in a real socialistic society...They have lived in the United States and have reaped the benefits that they take for granted...
If they had to live in a socialistic/communist country, they’d be fighting to get back to the USA...
Born on third base, have no idea how they got there, and don’t know enough to run home.
And they want to change the rules.
The teachers settled for it because socialism, but it still required ridiculous artifacts like jerking the slack out of the SAT by 200 points, so your now dumbass kids could still get into State U.
Mid/late Millenials, forget it, now just repeating agitprop dogma is fully enshrined as "learning", and so the MSM/Derp State is loading social media with the same complete lack of expectations. And these kids are truly as dumb as dogshit.
Compute the average age of the ComPost/NYeT/MSM/White Hospice staffers -- the kowtowing no-nothing clueless mandarins who fill social media and the cable with gak.
TJ Ducklo prime example, picture is next to "clueless" in the Millenial dictionary, national press secretary for Biden campaign, gets into the White Hospice as #2 for messaging, then verbally assaults a, wait for it, Millenial reporter, which in turn highlights his Millenial girlfriend Alexi McCammond's nasty-**** tweets, and she loses her Teen Vogue EIC before ever setting foot in her new office.
Watch “Campus Reform” editions on YouTube...That shows just how misinformed todays young folks are...
Every generation has good and bad. The future will suffer from the past. That has been the way of late. The youth will suffer from the past debts, the outsourcing, immigration jihad, and the vast amounts of entitlements created, etc.
And boomers were not spoiled, entitled, brats? That’s rich.
I spent my life following Boomers through school, and then in the workplace.
Hardly anything was better after that group went through it.
They have been fighting boomer wars for twenty years. I think they will do fine.
To have your mind imprinted by Jon "Hesh" Stewart and MSNBC and Greta "More Beans" Thunderbutt and Chrissy Teabag and of course Bobo and Moochelle ad nauseum infinitum and yet never once does one single man from that degeneration just stop and say, "This is utterly fucking ridiculous...this must stop."
I cannot believe that people who were raised on Henry Rollins and John Lydon and even the Dead Kennedys and Biafra, who frankly were willing to just about die for the 1st Amendment -- Hank used to carry around his death threat letters and read them at Black Flag shows; Lydon loves the US so much he naturalized, the hard, legal way -- has promulgated an entire generation of incel cuck p'whipped marxist maoist mandarins, who simply did not want to pay attention in skrewel and were instead rewarded for ape-ing the ape teacher. Throw in a little labor market need and some Deep State and you have a recipe for Obamaism.
These know-nothings befit and benefit now from a puppet-state installation maintaining the same ridiculous kabuki potemkin bullshit that they have come to expect and enjoy: "Come and eat your shit, you precious numbskulls!"
