Gen Z and Millenials think their generations are the most oppressed mistreated generations in American history. They believe no other generation has had it tougher than them but in reality theyre the most pampered entitled lazy wealthy generation that's ever existed in this country. I'm a millennial. I find it incredible hearing my peers talk about the so called hardships of 2008 and so on.
We are the most prosperous nation in the world, in the most prosperous time known to man.

The self indulgence of this generation using psychological terms is entirely decadent and narcissistic. I see this in my own life , I see the phrases my kids and their friends use, I see how they think life is just an endless journey into their own brains, and I cringe.

There are way too many people with way too much free time on their hands.
80 years ago, 100 years ago or 150 years ago people had to work - physically hard work - in order to just survive.
Now we have the book of face and other time killers. As noted earlier, idle hands…
eta: stoopid autocorrect.

Maher realized twitter bots don't vote or watch shitty talk tv.
These aren't the red pills you're looking for.
Move along.

And there was no such thing a retiring at 65. People generally worked until they were physically incapable or died.

There's been a few issues lately where this has been the case.
I'm beginning to get worried

This is what I say whenever anybody brings up Bill Maher.

Technology is amazing, but it almost always ends up in the wrong hands and is used against us. I was so busy with sports and school when I was younger I didn’t have much time to waste. I’ve got plenty of time to waste now, but I spend it furthering my own wisdom and intelligence. Everything is at your fingertips, but most people are wasting it because they keep stepping in the traps that the controllers keep setting, over and over. We need to see enlightenment make a comeback. Maybe I’m just different. I’m a very curious person who enjoys learning and expanding my understanding of the world around me

Lots of people saying “I need to forgive myself.”
No. You need to put your ego in the back seat and let someone else drive for a bit.

On point. The so called political middle has steadily moved further and further left my entire life. JFK would be a far right winger today, easily. Dennis Prager describes it all best. Liberals and conservatives can coexist, share values and goals, just differ in approach. The left cannot, no way, because they do not share anything in common, they hate us and only seek to destroy Western civilization. They are our greatest enemy and they've infiltrated at every level.
The left has seized control of the jackass party. Just look how they eat their own over stuff said not long ago.

And we will continue to see minds like Dennis Miller / Bill Maher look more and more conservative. Dennis Miller actually outright abandoned his previous side, which is what Maher would do if he were totally honest with himself about everything he sees. Alas, he is definitely still holding onto biases I think that may exist in an older guy's mind. I think his biases against conservatism is still rooted in the idea that more taxes helps people more than it hurts them and/or things he saw from a different age that made him hate the GOP of yore.
In the end, political parties need to be refreshed and reformed entirely, and I think that's what we all saw with the Trump movement. Trump would have been a Bill Clinton democrat in a BIG way, yet 70+m voted for him that called themselves conservative.
Conservative, in the end, is just the slower way to roll. We NEED true republicans in office that believe in individual rights to liberty, and I don't mean libertarians.

They’ve grown up in a era of obscene prosperity, as did their parents, so they are hypersensitive to even the mildest discomfort. The media tells them daily, that literal satanic forces (whites, males, police, political conservatives, domestic terrorists, Russians, viruses, etc...) want to kill them.
We also live in an era where mental health issues are over diagnosed, over medicated, and overly accepted as normal. People absolutely love to blame their idiosyncrasies on a “medical issue”.

I'm 32. A lot of people my age use mental health excuses so they don't ever have to accept responsibility for their actions. Calvin Ridley is probably the highest profile example but that kind of shite happens all the time and it is maddening.

I’m currently reading a book that explains a lot of the mental turmoil seen in our society..It is in large part a consequence of the American diet.Don’t down vote this idea unless you read the book.
THE HACKING of the AMERICAN MIND
The Science Behind the Corporate Takeover of Our Bodies and Brain.
Author is Robert Lustig,MD,MSL
He is a pediatric neuroendocrinologist.
Amazing book.

Overinflated reliance on my own intelligence and an idea that I was smart enough to figure out everything on my own
Socrates had some ancient wisdom for this - “men have said that I am the wisest of all among the Greeks and indeed I am; for I alone for all the Greeks may admit that I know nothing"
Knowing your limits and accepting that you are a flawed person that will make mistakes is a key to living a balanced life. Wisdom comes from an abundance of failure.
