Millennial econ, pol, capitalism

@Fuego who is this article even for? Is my mom supposed to read this and have an epiphany? Millennials don't need articles about how fucked we are. We know.
@angrboda i sent it to my mom. Dont crush my dreams of momminarian epiphany
Pol
@Fuego every time we try to frame this argument as 'fuck the boomers, actually' we get them to tune out more and more. It's rich people and their worshippers / apologists who fucked us - and there's plenty of millennials in those ranks.
Pol
@angrboda but the article isnt fuck the boomers so much as look at the massive difference between how it was when you were are age and how it is now
Pol
@Fuego it's still positioning the problem as generational which imo is a canard that is being used to draw attention away from income inequality. Oligarchs know how tempting it is for us to hate our parents and we are getting played.
Pol
@angrboda well I'm not gonna get my mom to pick up the marx-engels reader any time soon... :/
canard or not they are the voting block that prevents us from getting real socialist change, and we cant convince them to be socialist
They ate the oligarch's propaganda completely
@tfproxy yeah; I'm curious when people will stop seeing the value in spreading the pain around and making other folks feel more hopeless constantly. I guess it gets clicks, idk.

@Fuego THIS is why we have nazis
