Nearly 50% of Millennials Reject Capitalism
Comments

Millennials know:
20 years of pointless war that was costing over $1B a day at it's peak.
The housing bubble where rich people robbed the American public and the government paid them back 100 cents on the dollar for any short term loss.
Crippling student loan debt to get a job that previous generations never needed a formal education to do, yet still did the job equally well.
There is no more competition. Amazon, Google, eBay, and Netflix won. Seriously, what business are you going to start that some titan doesn't already have a complete monopoly on? A good capitalistic environment is supposed to motivate people to create a job instead of finding one, which went away 40 years ago.
We are generally viewed negatively by most of the established world.
We completely destroyed an entire continent in their lifetime and stirred up a hornets nest that brings terror to everyone's door step.
We can't spare $4M for Meals on Wheels but we need $65B more annually for defense. You know, cause the......fuck we're out of enemies.
The quality of life between working your ass off and not working at all is pretty similar.
Trying to save money with a meager salary to enjoy life when it's already over instead of using it while you can enjoy it is fucking stupid. All you are doing it making someone else rich.
If you work really hard you can be rich one day! 99.9% false.
I can keep going. Millennials are a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them. They're the best bullshit detectors this nation has ever produced. -

The people that started those businesses weren't fucking stupid enough to think everything had been invented

Yeah, talky box has ended any chance of revolution. Did you the know the idea of tv fame and celebrity was actually a government plan for national security?doogie said:It’s not income inequality that’s the trigger, it’s simply comfort.
Americans are happy with a screen, food and internet connection. Unless and until that changes, there is no risk of Radical Social unrest here.
8 greyhounds running after a fake rabbit is something you can bet on. 8 greyhounds running around aimlessly is chaos. -

How many new major car and oil companies have popped up in the last 50 years that have put a dent in the big boy's wallets?
Ford, Chevy, Chrysler.
Exxon, Shell, BP.
Anymore sound Boomer logic? -
I think the poont is that new industries will be created, not that new companies will challenge established industry leaders. Weed, renewable energy, and hoverboards are still up for grabs.Mosster47 said:

You don't have what it takes -
I just wanted to give you shit for even a remote criticism of the big Cap. And your comment about other methods both made me nervous, but curiously horny.allpurpleallgold said:
I'm not even really sure what you're objecting to. I said capitalism is the best system. And nothing's changed with me.creepycoug said:
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKallpurpleallgold said:Millennial don't have the baggage you do when it comes to capitalism/socialism/communism. You bought into the government propaganda of capitalism = good, socialism and communism = evil. When they're really they're just economic systems. There is no good or evil.
Human beings when presented with an argument that they disagree with will fall to the other extreme if the side they disagree with is unwilling to budge. Capitalism is the best economic system anyone has come up with but it's not perfect. Where and when it fails we should be willing to use other methods. Instead you cling desperately to capitalism. Pushing millennials to the other side.
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
The very idea that my lifestyle would be more or less the same as some @MikeSeaver - type character is morally offensive.
Yes, I bought in. Some baggage is good baggage. This happens to be good baggage because it's true.
There has yet to be a system known to man to eliminate scarcity better than the big Cap. And, as far as I can tell, even though we are wandering into the brave new world of warehouse providers of all we need, the shit that goes into that warehouse is coming from the same places it always has, and is still made with finite resource inputs.
When we get to the Star Trek point, and have machines that make shit out of thin air, call me and I'll re-evaluate.
I used to like you AGAG. You've changed man. -

IR and security studies in both academia and government are pretty nonpartisan, which is probably one of the main reasons why you don't understand it at all
