Right Wing Discussion Thread VII: As Easy As Reich Two Three

[Conscentia]

If you'll do the same, I'll ignore my first 2 arguments since I could easily counter your arguments with that you made it purposely vague or left it to interpretation, but that would be off-topic.

What are you talking about? I didn't make anything purposefully vague or open to interpretation.

"I just linked to whatever showed up on Google. I'm not interested in defending the sources, because that'd be really boring. There are many others, if you want to go looking yourself. I didn't have to present anything. My statement that "millennials are not especially entitled" is a null hypothesis. You've provided no contradicting evidence, so I am entirely justified in maintaining the null hypothesis even if I assume you're right about those articles I linked to."
Defending why millennials aren't entitled was a lot easier than defending why they are since I gave you no criteria for why they are entitled. However I now will because there are many reasons why:

1. They want job promotions despite no experience and believe a college education is all that is needed.
2. They complain when degrees like a liberal arts degree fail to find them a job.
3. Millennials were raised with a "everybody's a winner" mentality. If they don't get 1st place, they feel they got last place.
4. Reliance on technology makes them incapable of working without it.
5. They lack patience and want everything now because they were raised with technology that created near instant results.


Of course millennials will deny this and since they make up the majority of the workforce, articles on it slimming down. However ask any business owners (even millennial business owners) and they will describe their issues and many evidence still exist.

"You said that Santa "eventually" leads to a welfare state."
BECAUSE...

not "Santa leads to a welfare state".

I don't know what you're trying to say here.

[Ostrovshima]

If I may interject,

I do not want to sound crass, rude, impolite, uncouth, or inconsiderate, but in my honest opinion, the discussion about whether or not Millennials (and presumably by association, Post-Millennials such as myself) has become quite... erm... would "a cancerous blot upon the sanctity and honorable reputation of the RWDT" suffice?

Anyway,

The notion that individuals in the demographic of "Millennials" (and by association Post-Millennials), are lazy, entitled brats is not a new notion. In fact, tis what the Baby Boomers thought of Generation X. Tis also what the Greatest Generation thought about the Baby Boomers. Sentiments such as these have been around for the entirety of recorded history. Tis indeed quite bothersome.

Therefore, I politely implore you to cease the cancerous discussion within a reasonable amount of time.

Thank you.

It doesn't relate to what I'm trying to say so if it makes your little boat happy, you win! You're better than me! Blah blah whatev.

Really? You're gonna slap me with a "need citation" when you gave me a boatload of crap that you didn't even read and then stated you were not going to read or argue cause it was boring?

Interjecting cancer with cancer that has already been stated does not help.

Yeah. Everyone thinks of the generation after them in this way at some point. Then the kids of that generation grow-up and think that way about the kids after them. By this definition, everyone would have been cancerous at some point-which is a rather pessimistic view. We're all bratty and petty and stuffy sometimes. It happens. But we all (mostly) grow out of it.

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room.

All kids show this at some point or another, though. Contempt for authority and disrespect of elders is also nothing new. It might be more prevelant now, but not every millennial is a delusional tyrant.

No, no, I'm agreeing with you. The sentiment has been around forever; even Socrates said it was what I was going for. Not that I agree with Socrates.

I, however, am quite the delusional tyrant, although my parents say that my strong desires to be God Emperor of the Universe (That I have possessed since I was a young child.) are quite unhealthy for a young man of my age.

Ah well, at least I can settle for cult leader for the time being.

Ah. I was confused as to why you posted our posts together. Lol. Cool. :3

I actually wanted to take over the world when I was younger. Mostly because I saw a bunch of greedy nincompoops mowing people down and thought I could do better.

I still want to take over the world... is that normal for an adolescent male?

Hi hi, all.

Problem is, in order to get to a position of power where one can absolutely stop greedy bastards mowing people down, it helps to be a greedy bastard willing to mow people down.

The eternal struggle

Just nuke everyone who opposess you.

Hi hi, all.

Not really. I mean, don't get me wrong, the attitude many of the Baby Boomers have is toxic, nostalgic to a degree that the Greatest Generation and Generation X both seem to have avoided in large part, but really, our current situation is just a continuation of an entrenched societal problem whose causes have been exacerbated by technological and social progress.

Makes one appreciate good leaders, though, that's for sure.

That would be an ethics violation.

Also, I politely implore you to cease advocating mass murder.

Thank you.

The Baby Boomers were screwed over by the previous generation. Forced to fight in Vietnam and coming home to Watergate. It would make a lot of people toxic and angry.

By and large Baby Boomers weren't the ones fighting in 'Nam. That dubious honor belongs to the Silent Generation. Baby Boomers were shaped by growing up in the 'Nam era, surrounded by the nasty discourse that had grown around it et co.

My fellow chap of sophisticated nature, if i were to comply with your request, i would not be able to share my violent dreams of absolute obliteration of the persons i would insultingly name "pieces that compose feces".

Fine gentlemanly individual, while I am fairly certain that we have all had violent dreams, tis a possible violation of the rules of this website.
