An amazingly concise and accurate statement from a millenial who truly gets it.

Very good

This is most amazing. 26 years old and viola! He gets it. Now with the way his generation treats views counter to their own, he may need to keep it to himself or start carrying a firearm. I lived long enough to see things developed, color tv, cell phones, computers that don’t fill a room, etc. I think he has a huge and valid point. They also didn’t learn you have to work to get those finer things and Freedom Ain’t Free.

The disease is called “Affluenza”.

The good news is that it contains its own cure. The bad news, the cure won’t be fun.

Jordan Peterson talks about this a lot.

It would shock a lot of people that it wasn't that long ago that people could not go to a grocery store at any day of year and buy whatever they wanted, like fresh fruits. Those were seasonal, if they were available at all. Now the food industry is an incredible logistics machine that moves a country's worth of fruits and vegetables from the tropics to every city and town on this continent.

And “near Nokomis” probably refers to Lake Nokomis, in Minneapolis. So even a millenial in Liberal land gets it.

The answer is this, my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn’t live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or see the rise and fall of socialism and communism. We don’t know what it’s like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don’t have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it’s spreading like a plague.

The same zombie brainwashed ignoramus generation indoctrinated by the communist faculty of both public schooling and higher learning. These entitled brats are programmed to believe that Barry Hussein Soetoro is the greatest president ever to walk the earth. An opinion ground into the minds of these impressionable children since grade school by the MSM, public schools & college, social media and their iphones. These hate-filled zombies NEVER having lived as an adult under any other president and having never lived as an adult ON THEIR OWN under any other president. Most of these brats were 8-9yrs old when Obama became the first mulatto fraud POS/POTUS.

Nefarious and treasonous agenda is what the progressives have managed to accomplish in 20 years. And NOBODY to stop them until Trump was elected. The conservatives didn't cause Trump to be elected... Obama did.

Many do not know true personal hardship.

[Reeses]

Wealth doesn’t make you happy, relative wealth to your neighbors does. There are two ways to boost your social rank: climb up, or bring many others down. Leftists are people that find it far easier to bring others down.

When I was their age, I couldn’t carry a phone, the internet, a tv, a radio, a business directory, a calendar, a global map, stock reports, weather reports, thousands of store catalogs, an encyclopedia, a camera, and a thousand other things in my pocket all at the same time. Smartphones alone make millennials one of the richest, most privileged, most prosperous generations there is. And that’s just ONE thing.

[thoughtomator]

most of that generation have no real access to any substantial amount of that wealth though... it’s an other people thing for them alien to their personal experience

their actual living standard in general is like Eastern Europe under Communism

“We don’t know what it’s like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones.”

Part of it is the fault of parents. For example, my kids, when they were growing up, didn’t have internet access or smartphones (and obviously not cars), or X-box’s or anything else other than the type of toys I grew up with. Sure, they would hang out with other kids and do those things...but that was the exception.

But they did grow up, and once they were 18 and earning their own money, they were free to do as they wished, but in now way were they harmed by this lack of access to ‘technology’. If anything, it helped keep their heads clear so that they could actually have ‘normal’ childhoods - compared to a lot of the monsters we have now.

Thankfulness and Humility ..... two human characteristics of true nobility that the latest generations lack. This article merely details a new kind of ‘woke’ that previous generations understood is sorely lacking in todays world.

[Cannonball Bill]

prosperity breeds insanity.

They will notice when it’s gone.

Kids today need to realize the picture below is a complete anomaly in the world today and throughout history:

Only our Bill of Rights makes this possible.
