Millennials get little satisfaction from democracy - Cambridge study

[Celerity]

23. your comment's dodgy as hell, so typical of some of the Millennial-bash dross on here I see here far

too often.

You do realise that the oldest Millennials turn 40 years old in 10 weeks? I am sure they love being condescendingly called 'babies', especially as they have had to deal (and will have to deal the rest of their lives) with bollocks the caused by the Gens before them, especially starting with the Boomers. The very youngest Gen Xers could not even vote in federal elections until 2000, although most could by 1998, and they sure as hell did not carry Reagan (in 1984 for the very oldest Xers, less than 2 years of them) Bush Jr (twice) and Trump over the line.







No wonder the older Millennials are jaded as fuck. Their entire formulative years, (then high school, college, and after) lives for the most part have been bombed out with

1991 1st Gulf War
1992-1999 continuous shitstorms in the Balkans, continued bombing in Iraq
1993-1999 Dot Com Boom, a positive, BUT which they entirely missed out on (other than possible inheritances)
1994 Gringrich Revolution Rethug Take-over, plus later on, rot like NAFTA, the Telecommunications Act of 1996, as well as the odious repeal of Glass-Steagall and the even worse Commodities Futures Modernization Act of 2000 (the last two laid the ground for the 2007-11 financial crisis and its after-shocks)
1995 Oklahoma City Bombing
December 19, 1998 to February 12, 1999 The Clinton impeachment crisis
2000 Dot Com Crash and then a recession
2000 Bush steals the election
2001 9/11
2002 Patriot Act/AUMF the Afghan invasion (which still goes on)
2003 onwards 2nd Iraq invasion
2004 Bush likely steals the election again
2004-2006/2007, a brief respite (economically), but one fuelled by massive derivative fraud and insane housing bubbles
2007-2011 massive global financial crisis and its after-effect shock-waves
2011 Libyan murder war
2011 to present, Syrian conflict (massive impact here in Europe)
2012-2015 another brief respite as Obama repairs the economy and gets it climbing again
June 16, 2015, the nightmarish age of Trump begins with his escalator ride down in Trump tower
December 2019 onwards, the global, crushing COVID-19 pandemic

Plus the whole time, insane increases in housing costs, medical/healthcare costs, and education costs, leaving many in life-wrecking financial shape.
