Time magazine=Millennials Are Lazy, Entitled Narcissists Who Still Live With Their Parents

201. I think they gave us a chance to vote on it, and we did.

All of this consciousness raising stuff has had an effect. Those young people we were discussing earlier do not share the attitudes about race and gender that I grew up with, and they are the future. I have high hopes for them, but I remember a lot of us fell by the wayside back then too, it's risky business trying to change the society you live in.

But what have they got to lose?

I can think of a lot of things we ought to get a chance to vote on, and most of those people you mention are trying to make sure we don't. Racism, like opposition to equality for women, and the Drug War, and the War Lovers, and the Corporate Feudalists, they are all alive and well, but they is losing the argument down among us proles, and they are mad about that.

One of the reasons I oppose these generational stereotypes is that they feed right into the top-down divide-and-rule politics which we are being fed as a substitute for democracy.
