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.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

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.

I'm not even really sure what you're objecting to. I said capitalism is the best system. And nothing's changed with me.

Well someone sure got their signals crossed 'cause Anna left with Dad

Can we please keep personifying economic and political ideologies, but as the way to playfully insult each other please.

Communism fucked @RaceBannon 's mother!!!!!

Can you try posting something that isn't a pile of shit?

Yes i will TRY, but i am a millennial.

First you should try reading my posts before you make incorrect assumptions

Sorry if I made you feel misunderstood, that was not my intention.

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.

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



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

CHRIST

Right, because the fucking internet is going to be invented again.

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?

Tesla is chuckling.

And the oil industry doesn't work like that. There are countless junior E&P companies that eventually get gobbled up by the big boys - or the big boys come in and lease up all the acreage surrounding productive fields. Any kid with a dream and the ability to hustle could start up an oil company, either buy some stripper wells or take a flyer and drill some shallow wells and be on their way. In the process, they may lose their shirt - but it happens all the time.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

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.

Most things on your list were previously satisfied by having common sense, a strong work ethic and life experience. All traits millennials have little of and try to replace it with shitty education in stupid fields.
