Because they haven't been dick slapped by reality yet. Mommy and Daddy have always provided for them, and they figure Big Government will/should do the same.

you sound tough

The type of people who say this on FB are 26, went to vo-tech, and live with their parents so they can spend their money on boats and child support.

one in two U.S. millennials say they would rather live in a socialist or communist country than a capitalist democracy. What’s more, 22% of them have a favorable view of Karl Marx and a surprising number see Joseph Stalin and Kim Jong Un as “heroes.”

The idea that 22% of millennials know who the frick Karl Marx is should be the first clue.

Probably pissed off at the baby boomers for ruining everything that the Greatest Generation built. Can't blame them but communism isn't the answer.

I had plenty of super liberal professors at LA Tech that preached their nonsense.


As universities go, LA Tech is extremely conservative. My son is there now, and tells me the libs that are there keep their mouths shut on politics in public settings.

You serious?

There is simply no conceivable way that millennials know about Karl Marx to the point that 22% have a favorable view. I'd be surprised if 22% of millennials could tell you something accurate about Karl Marx.

millenials don’t have the work ethic or skills


What an idiotic statement. Millennials absolutely have our faults, but work ethic and skills aren’t issues. Far more millennials are high school graduates, have college degrees, volunteered (not drafted) for the military, know how to operate technology; ie use a fricking computer than our boomer counterparts. Most of you probably don’t even realize that you are a millennial.

Millennials are having kids later in life and having less children, on average. That means that on average, my generation is waiting until they’re financially stable enough to have kids, and then we’re having less of them so we can continue to have money left over for Uncle Sam. How’s that for fiscal responsibility? Guess we should have just shite out a bunch of kids like the generations before us. Keep in mind, it was the boomers who ran our national deficit through the roof.

Also, why do you think Trump won this last election? Do you think it was boomers that laid the groundwork for a new type of presidential candidate? Absolutely not. Boomers would have continued to buy Roslin gold stocks and voted for whatever limp dick cuck the GOP establishment trotted out. Hillary would have won and that’s who we’d have right now. Millenials forced that change, you just hopped aboard for the ride.

Most of you “Bosses” have millennials who could more than likely do your job faster, better, and more efficiently than you do. They just didn't have the benefit of getting in on the ground floor of the company when it started. It’s easy to shite on millennials, but you’re the “free love” and draft-dodging generation.

A ton of millennials are in their 30s and have kids of their own.

It is going to be 2035, and people are still going to think millennials are 16 year old kids.

I went to Jesuit, with some of the wealthiest kids in Orleans parish, you would be disappointed at how many of them are blue blooded liberals after a 5 year education at LSU


The modern Jesuits are the most liberal Catholics out there.
