Millennials and GenZ horribly misidentified

Just because someone thinks that they are right doesn't mean that they are in fact wrong and in promotion of their perceived right acting stupidly. One's intelligence is not determined by the righteousness (real or perceived) of the cause.

Quote:Millies are running businesses and whatnot, but businesses aren't institutions.

In the broadest sense of what social institutions are they are in fact institutions. People work in businesses, buy their goods from businesses, an well do just about everything else with businesses where the government hasn't carved for itself a monopoly. Because an institution does not fit your preconceived notion of what an instituion is or should be does not mean it is not in fact an institution.

Quote: As Eric said,

I really don't care what Eric has said. Eric believes that humanity is ruled by planetary movements and has the scientific understanding of a medieval peasant. If you've not figured it out by now he's an idiot and is best made fun of or ignored.

AOC is the perfect example. What millennials do amounts to about as much as AOC the "prime millennial" 's stuff does. And no, they are not getting *anything* done. Look around you. The only thing they are changing is societies attitudes, and that only in their filterbubbles as well.

Quote:"Too bad that the Establishment Republicans took down Milo."
So you're saying.... the right is not over outrage culture either.

The Establishment Republicans are not on the right. The NeoCon estblishment are failed Trotskites actually, and thus leftists. The Paleo-con and Libertarian right is not interested in outrage culture. Furthermore it was pretty much the last gasp they had before they started their trek to oblivion or back to the Dimocrat party from whence they sprang.

Quote:"they lack the civic drive that Millies do" Well they might lack the drive for it but they possess the faculties. They can actually see that sneering at your opposition á la AOC is not something that will get you far, as opposed to millennials whose basic mode of operation is just that.

I sneer at the likes of AOC because she is a tempest in a teapot.

The ability to take on a heroic role is not and never has been the same as being part of a civic generation. Quite frankly Zeds are unlikely to do much more than slam the breaks on the most absurd of Millie absurdities--assuming the hard immovable object of reality doesn't crash it for them.

Quote:I'm not from america, so i can confidently say that no it's not just the bay and nyc areas lol.

If you're not from America then tell me where the media you consume from America is derived? From New York, LA and San Franshitsco. There is a reason that people like Eric fear "Fly Over Country", which is where the Real Americans live. America is more of a continent in and of itself than a single country-a la Europe.

Quote:Millennials have been *the* cohort to hate brexit. And why? Because that's how things are supposed to be.
Ignoring the pragmatic issues that others had with the EU. The millennials are also the ones who bought into the "refugees welcome" idiocy the most. Because it sounds good in theory.
Millenials make up a large part of black blocs and anarchocommunists and whatnot. Becuase it sounds good in theory
Conversely it's also millennials who gave rise to the alt right, who gave rise to free speech absolutists, and who wanted ronpaul and anarchocapitalism the most. Why? *Because it sounds good in theory.*

It's not just coastal and ivory tower people. It's more or less the entire generation, and i'd know - i can see them all around me on two different continents.

Having political connections with people in the Millienial generation in other countries just as many support Brexit. One shouldn't take BBC propaganda at face value just like they shouldn't take CNN propaganda at face value.
The drive behind Euroscepticism is not arising primarily from the old, it is coming more and more from the young as well. The same can be said increasing nationalism (which is a very good thing).

The EU is a Boomer project and those millies tied to it are also tied to the Boomer establishment. Those who aren't have nothing to lose from its destruction and most certainly the 4T in a Mega-Unraveling is less about creation and more about destruction.

The rest of your post smells strongly of you seeing what you want to see and not seeing what is actually happening. I suggest getting out of the house more and turning off the idiot box.
