The Millennial’s are the most liberal, narcissistic, and least patriotic generation

Re: The Millennial’s are the most liberal, narcissistic, and least patriotic generati

No, because they're idiots that are just following their parents steps. Of course, they don't even realize they're doing it and neither do their parents. :lol:

Would you like to illustrate this hypothesis?

Edit: Oh no... you're gonna do the "hippies at first until they met with the cold hard reality of the world (libertarian ideology in your eyes)" and then they'll "grow up" and think like you?

Sure. What programs did your parents or even grandparents pass that you're opposed to? Now what programs did those two groups pass that you support? Further, what general ideology does all of those things you support follow? Could it be that they were progressives/social democrats too? What you are doing is in fact just going further down the same road they were on.

Nope. Hippies stayed idiots their entire life.

So I was correct earlier; you see others with ideological differences as idiots. You're not really talking about overall generational differences here but have zeroed in on ideological issues that you disagree with. You also seem to think in terms of strict labels. "progressive", "social democrat", labels don't really mean much to me. I don't really subscribe to a lot of what people call progressive, or liberal, or social democrat. What I do think though is that Bernie would have been exactly what the country needed at this very time though I don't necessarily like overt socialism or state planning. Ideally I would prefer a much more libertarian society where people make their own choices. However you have to take into consideration the way things currently are and imo 8 years of Bernie's democratic socialism would have helped the majority of Americans immensely and maybe helped position us for a more ideal future that actually moves away from socialism and or cronyism. If you apply libertarian ideology to the current situation it only gets pushed through when it comes to austerity for the average Joe but the wealthy and powerful classes rebuke any efforts that would take away their state sponsored advantages. So you have to take this all into consideration when you think ideologically or else you're just slitting your own throat while pushing your ideological purism.

In your illustration boomers are the "idiots" and millenials are the "innovators". I'm assuming you didn't know this, lol.

No, not quite. the WWII greatest generation are the innovators, and the millennial's are the second generation idiots. Don't worry though, just like government school, I will give you a pat on the head and tell you good job for trying even though you got it totally wrong so you don't get butthurt.

Grouchy old fart rant.

Truth sometimes hurts, or in this case, truth butthurts........

It's just kind of funny that you took a known thing and then changed it around to suit your narrative because you accidentally made an argument against yourself. FYI it's a little early to call millennials idiots because they aren't old enough to have taken control of the country yet; the boomers are still running things and we don't know exactly how everything is going to shake out. However in the generational pattern you described the millennials are in the position of struggle because the deck has clearly been stacked against them. The only thing covering all of this up is technological advancements that have made things much, much better overall.

Re: The Millennial’s are the most liberal, narcissistic, and least patriotic generati

Gee I wonder why. Is it because they've realized they got the short of the stick (relative to previous generations)? They also don't embrace racism and xenophobia so when they see our leaders and media doing it they don't agree.

Most of them also grew up with the disastrous foreign policies of the neoconservatives and access to the internet where the information (propaganda) is less-controlled. Should anyone be surprised millennials are not as nationalistic?

Absolutely, they don't see skin color, nationality, ethnicity the same way previous generations have. We're all people now and I look forward to the day when we all work together peacefully instead of bleeding each other out over borders, religion, nationality, race, or any other group label. Divide and conquer won't work if we're all getting along which is why tribalism is such a necessary tool for control.

Majority of the neoconservatives are in the older generation (baby boomers) and it will eventually die out. When it is the millennials time to reign I see a political spectrum where the current Democratic Party of Clinton, Pelosi, Obama will be considered "right" conservative. The Bernie Sanders Democratic Socialism will be considered "left." Just the way I see it....

Too much skateboarding and not enough respect for their elders!

Nah, we're not that old. The new generation (us) is already being cultivated, you can't get rid of us! ;)
 
Re: The Millennial’s are the most liberal, narcissistic, and least patriotic generati

Every time I see a thread like this it makes me want to have a grouchy young fart rant. I really don't like boomers. Where I live they tend to be drug addicts that lost easily replaceable jobs because they grew up in a society where you could make a living without a college degree. They took that society for granted and let it fail leaving behind a generation that must go to college if they have any hopes of not living around the poverty line. The boomer generation killed the American dream for everyone else.
 
Re: The Millennial’s are the most liberal, narcissistic, and least patriotic generati

The Millennial’s are the most liberal generation ever……

This entire article is based on the idiotic assumption that people who support Bernie Sanders are socialist. In fact, Bernie Sanders also called for cracking down on police brutality and stopping illegal government surveillance. These concepts may be "libertarian", but that's very different from liberal.

The Millennial’s are the least patriotic generation ever……….

Nationalism ("patriotism") is a mental disease wherein people believe the geographic location of their mother's vagina at birth somehow defines who they are as a person and who they should help and support in their lives, based on lines in the sand drawn arbitrarily, usually long before they were born.

If you truly support nationalism, and you believe "terrorist nations" exist, you would actually support terrorism since it's quite patriotic.

Nationalism bad, globalism good.

Coincidentally, Millennial’s are the most narcissistic generation ever…….

[QUOTEThe older group ranked millennials 65.3 on a 100-point narcissism scale, whereas millennials rated themselves as 61.4, according to the Huffington Post.[/QUOTE]

This difference appears to be statistically insignificant. If the study were repeated, the results may be reversed.

And, of course, psychology is a soft science at best, and complete garbage at worst, so I'd put no stock in tests like these.

So basically, our future rests in the hands of unpatriotic liberals who hate America……

In other words, intelligent caring people who believe in global freedom... once we the idiots who think the opposite die off (hopefully soon)!

Your parents must be very proud.... they would probably be even more proud if you got a job and supported yourself, but that will probably never happen.....:lamo
