re: Help me understand the self-abnegation of certain white millenials?

He's got a few good ones in there.

I particularly like "kowtow" and "untrammeled"

I've raised a couple of millennial's (one with a graduate degree and one working on under-grad) and damned if they will kowtow to anyone or spend a single red cent to subsidize stupidity.

I agree with you completely. Everything you said.

Most of them have never held real jobs, paid taxes, or had interactions with shall we say the troublemakers. Their parents probably pay majority of their bills and solve their problems.

Considering the average millennial is in their 30s, I'd say you're full of shite.

To be clear, it is not all millenials, only a portion

Thank you so much for being clear on this, otherwise I would have proceeded in thinking that truly every single millennial did this...

I mean it wasn’t super race centered but the hippie movement in the 60’s certainly shares a lot of similarities.

Also, if you think millennials are bad wait till you meet Gen Z

The majority of them that are this way were raised by boomers who protested in the 60's, found themselves in the 70's, became a corporate ladder climber in the 80's, healed their inner child in the 90's- became a parent in their 40's. When they became parents were too ME ME ME by that point to be anything other than a politically correct, competitive person who pushed little Billy to be in every sport, play, and artistic endeavor at school. It did not matter if little Billy wanted to do this, or was good at it, It was all about their parent's ego- and the participation trophy at the end.

Their kids are lost, they spew politically correct garbage left and right, they have no real identity, they are just a copy of their empty self entitled parents.

This will not end well.

I lived in San Francisco in the 90's with a ton of these "parents". They were vacuous twits. I am generation x. Taught my kids how to work, how to be responsible, how to kick butt, and not take any crap from anyone. I also taught them to be kind, generous, and the value of an education.

My kids are gen z, which is what these kids are. My kids are rare ones-- most of their friends are just like the kids mentioned.

That’s some fancy 6 dollar words there you surly, scuttling sack of solipsistic simpleton.

If you want to wield wit in a whirling waltz of words
