  1. I’m glad to hear a fellow Millennial in a similar situation that I’m facing right now.

  2.  @sgshaday  It's the same thing with me. People in their 20s and 30s constantly bringing out their phones. It's at the point where people aged 50 or older are far easier to converse with.

  3.  @MinistryofOtaku  There are tents all over the place here on the West Coast in the United States.

  4.  @MinistryofOtaku  I never said it was a good thing. I’m just telling you the truth because I have been to these tent encampments myself.

  5. Joe Biden is too old and too coddled in the hands of the elite to really care about anything. Both the president and the US Government are more or less in the laps of the corporations. Jeff Bezos is sitting at over $150 Billion USD net worth, and as far as I’m concerned he is just sitting back watching the world burn while he’s sipping a latte. This was all planned and executed by the ruling elite. Everything from schools to gender ideologies have been affected. The Baby Boomers have been telling me this has been happening for 30 - 50 years, but realistically I think it’s been the last 20 years. We will never have a prosperous decade like the 1990s ever again. I look back at that era and it almost seems like a Walt Disney experience. Mass society being more happy. An actual middle class (before it got completely eradicated). Working men who could build and start homes in their early - late 20s. A career that respected you as an individual and gave you ample time to move up the career ladder. Banks that paid good interest on checking and savings accounts. A entertainment venue (Hollywood) that hadn’t gone completely politicized and had people who still cared for wholesome entertainment. A school system that was a little more balanced. A few politicians who still put communities and families first. Etc etc etc. America is done.

  6. You just answered your own question in your comment.

  7.  @robertbeisert3315  Sounds like you’re a Millennial who grew up on the same things I did.
    2
  8. Funny enough as I read this comment, I’m watching The Muppet Show. Sadly and tragically, I find myself going back to the past to find good entertainment and to find a sense of well being. The same trash that infiltrated our entertainment industry is now prevalent in our education system and our current generation of politics. Today’s youth will not be seeing a good future unless a drastic change happens.

  10.  @ryandgarland  Looking at your avatar, you look to be around your 40s. As a Millennial, I cannot tell you how accurate your statement is here. I was hammered constantly with messages that going to college will solve everything. News flash. It didn’t. Now you have a generation of 30 something’s with no life direction. Some jobs won’t take them, because they are too old. The Zoomer generation is just as misguided, being told to stick in school only to have absolutely no core experience in being a responsible adult.

  11.  @johnmcafee9663  Why did you pick your name based on an antivirus founder who went AWOL?
    2
  12.  @TheAlison1456  Well I was curious about this random dude picking his name, because McAfee is not somebody who should be remembered fondly. I used to be part of the Left, but the rise of Anita Sarkeesian and this feminist movement ensured I will never side with them again. I don’t exactly side entirely with conservatives, especially those of you subscribed to Lotus Eaters. But I tend to think conservatives, moderate conservatives in particular, are more sane and care more for tradition than the Left. The Left as far as I’m concerned just wants to tear everything down that worked in the recent past.

  13.  @bZman  Agree fully. Women around my age are especially bad.
    2
  14. Same happened to me. Even in actual autistic communities (I’m very autistic and have Asperger’s) I have been canceled on Facebook. Just an environment that is not good to be in.
    2
  15.  @cagedinsane9929  It’s no better for us in our 30s. Too many people who “cancel” someone if they so much as disagree. The Jekyll & Hyde personality is prevalent with my peers as well.
    2
  16. Yep, and they’re purposely giving young people the wrong medication and drug prescriptions because our medical industry, at least here in the United States, is now run for profit. Shouldn’t be no surprise to many why school shootings have ramped up, and why more young people are committing suicide.

  17.  @arrveenews5647  I try to follow tradition that older people in my family went by a generation or two ago. Already, I'm not welcome in the Far Left. Nor do I want to be. They're practically manchildren with no sense of reality.

  18.  @davetdowell  Sounds like he’s deliberately ignoring all your points because he hasn’t responded.

  19. If it wasn’t pressure, it was tens and possibly a hundred thousands of dollars of debt that they never pay off. You can no longer put student costs under bankruptcy anymore. Too much debt to be worry spending all those years in school after leaving high school at 18 years old.

  20. What age range are you referring to? I’d say the 18 - 40 age group.
    1
  21. The answer is no, they can’t grow up. I generally refuse to talk to most anyone under the age of 30 because they have been completely brainwashed by social media. Most of the rational people I know who can hold a healthy conversation are older people in their late 50s to late 70s. A number of them will not be around in 10 years, which is what’s truly upsetting. At this point we may as well be living in a Matrix. Reject reality because it has been ruined. Live in a virtual reality simulator that was specifically designed to give people dopamine hits. Ask younger people how Tinder and Onlyfans are holding out to them. This is why the West is collapsing…

  26.  @MC-ze8wj  I’m curious to know how old you are. I’m now in my late 30s and I find a lot of women in my generation utterly horrible to deal with. I’ve gone thru countless relationships. I’m convinced that most of the women I had were in broken homes themselves. Every once in a blue moon there would be a younger women who was genuine and honest, but those were few and far between. Young people are getting the shaft. Women not being taught good values. Men being denied actual masculinity which explains the rise in soy men and transgenders. This is a formula that is not coming out with good results.
    1
  27.  @MC-ze8wj  Some women I knew were like that. But I also had women who were completely narcissistic, they were never told ‘No’ enough times. With reality television shows, you can be someone pushing 50 years of age who has the maturity of a teenager. Unfortunately what happens in the social media space has basically spilled onto the real world. Due to our modern culture, people don’t really feel compelled to grow up. Sure, there’s young people who are honest, caring and genuine, but they always seemed drowned out by the insane.

  33. I’m going to continue to be myself, and so should you. These pride flag waving guys will hopefully be irrelevant in due time. I hope. This is why the West is declining. These PC political agendas are trying to enact vengeance on people like yourself, when truthfully, it was your ancestors committing the hate crimes long before we were born. So the people that these movements hate the most are long dead and long gone. What is their purpose? I have yet to find one.

  37. It’s why I hold the Greatest Generation and Silent Generation with such high regard. Millennials and Zoomers are full on social media. A complete 180 from the attitudes and standards that those old generations I mentioned were brought up on.

  43. That is why the Greatest Generation (born 1900 - 1925/1926) will always be one of the most respected and memorable generations. Every generation from the Baby Boomers going forward has gotten progressively worse.

  44. Millennials were the first to be exposed to the internet from childhood. Truthfully, Generation X, the one whose inhabitants were born from 1965 to 1980, were the last generation to grow up in an analog world. If you had a computer back in the 1980s and early 1990s, that was considered a luxury. Old internet also required some brains and knowledge to probably set up, which filtered a lot of idiots.

  47.  @csfelfoldi  Thanks for the history lesson. Millennials and Zoomers are screwed.

  48.  @robertbeisert3315  There’s a big difference between having a wholesome, down to earth marriage that holds tradition, and simply getting those dopamine hits from women selling their sex. I am of course talking sex found in a video or a livestream. There was never an easier time to find this than right now. For many men under 30, they will probably always remain virgins. No children to pass the torch along. No values that they can teach them. As someone who has seen Tinder and Onlyfans to great extents, I know this experience first hand. And with how difficult it is to even form a relationship in the first place, these young people feel they have nothing else to turn to. Dopamine hits will never be a substitute for a happy marriage.

  52.  @wickedlee664  Yeah. Over 20 million Soviets died during World War II, with the Soviet Union being the biggest factor to Nazi Germany's decline. Most Americans and even British people will never tell you this. Or you can just look at the struggling African Americans who died trying to bring Civil Rights to minorities during the 1960s. Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr were two such people.

  54.  @peachesandcream8753  Progressives are the cancel culture. Unfortunately YouTube is on the same side as the progressives. American Krogan was banned for “hate speech”, I watched his content and I felt he broke none of the rules. Conservatives with any sort of notable following are generally shunned. YouTube generally blacklists the more vocal conservatives so you have to dig around to find them. As long as Susan (CEO of YouTube) and her cronies control this place, they will represent the progressive agenda. It’s why I try to encourage people willing to fight and put their necks out risking them to speak their voice on other platforms.

  58.  @TheAlison1456  John McAfee was the founder of a well known antivirus software program (McAfee). He abandoned it long ago and then went crazy when he was living in Belize. Look him up.

  59.  @kurenai5000  This started with the Baby Boomers. They took everything the Greatest Generation (the one who came up during the Great Depression and fought in World War 2) and the Silent Generation worked hard to get only to destroy it. Everybody from Gen Xers to Gen Z has suffered. Gen Alpha will soon be added to the list. Unless drastic change happens, the West is on the verge of societal and economic collapse. Turns out the Millennials and a portion of Gen X were unable to hold the glue together. They are the definition of “Weak Men Create Hard Times”. We are screwed.

  60.  @peterbelanger4094  Even if you do find people there are too many in your generation who just rant on Facebook and Instagram, among other places. LinkedIn used to be a place where people connected via businesses and workforce circles, now it’s just another Facebook just spouting the same tired political garbage. The last time we had a functional society that was happy without an internet presence was the 1990s and early 2000s. We’re coming up on 20 years of internet usage, and every year things continue to get worse. I fear the US Presidential Elections in 2024 will ultimately spark a civil war in the USA, or a possible world war, because everything is unstable now. The internet is killing humanity, and what will come out of its dead body will be something far worse.

  61.  @lightworker2956  4) I can speak from first hand experience that HR women will more often than not seek out diversity hires. Doesn’t matter the experience or even the credentials sometimes. If you’re a White male who is viewed by certain women to be sexist and bigoted (making edgy jokes in the break room at the workplace) then you have no place in the company. Blizzard Entertainment (video game company) is a great example of this.

  66.  @generalbuttnaked7637  This is true, but you need to understand that the isolationist lifestyle can only take you so far. You still need interaction. People still need others, whether they want to admit to or not. I know people who are complete isolationists and only interact with the world thru the internet. That crafts a very cynical view of life and when coupled with 24/7 news organizations like MSNBC, Fox News or CNN, it makes for a recipe for disaster. Society cannot move on with most of their inhabitants are practically hermits in the wilderness. That accomplishes nothing.

  67.  @generalbuttnaked7637  I know a ton of those people. That's why I give credit to Lotus Eaters here because they are simply telling the reality of the situation we are living in today. That's why I want nothing to do with Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. All those cancerous social media sites have done is separate, which is bringing out long term effects onto our society. I work at Costco so I do a lot of physical labor and actively help customers in the store. Over half of my co-workers look at their social media profiles on their iPhone 13 or Samsung smartphones, then complain that they didn't get the likes and views they wanted on their posts. Young people were definitely not taught to not care what many others think, and it is showing in our society with disastrous results.

  69.  @alkestos  I don't want to interrupt here but I'm starting to think a lot of younger women weren't taught this. I see this constantly in women under 30 years old, and even woman who are 40 years old have this mentality from time to time. Social media definitely had a dire effect on them. The older women I know in my life did not grow up with or were influenced by social media. Women I work with in their early 20s are completely obsessed with social media, and they simply weren't taught to just back away and not care for someone else's opinion.

  72.  @robertrussell2202  All while being easily offended. Canceling you if you so much as disagree. Living in their homes almost forcibly because their parents never allowed them to go out and explore things for themselves. One of the many reasons why the West is failing. One reason why young people are trying to move out of the United States and the UK.

  84.  @GainingDespair  Where you are coming from and where you’re getting your ideas comes from an era when the “old internet” was just starting to enter homes. I’m older than you and I remember perfectly well how the old internet worked. It was never meant to be consumed excessively. Most of the people on it were computer geeks and nerds who were interested in the computer tech. I remember going on Windows 95/98, hearing that old dial-up sound, and finally connecting to the internet. Netscape was our internet browser. I never spent more than one hour on any particular day using the internet. At most I would access only a dozen websites. But every website was an experience. It was the perfect retreat and the old internet was like the Wild West. No shame. Nothing apologetic. Real and honest. Far more genuine. People under the age of 30 have no understanding of what the old internet was like. Modern internet is essentially a corporate wasteland. Processing information has never been easier than right now. But young people, by and large, have been subject to information overload, which was greatly resulted in their depression.

  85.  @D-B-Cooper  Those can all be considered homes. Living homeless on the actual street is what people here are referring to.
