This will make you laugh

Sometimes I come across something and I can't really determine if it's supposed to be satire, or if people really are this immature, gullible and naive. Rolling Stone posted this article in their politics section regarding five things "millenials" should be "fighting" for. It represents some of the most entitled, naive, immature thinking I've ever read. The mindset on display in the article really underscores why so many lefties seem incapable of managing even the simplest of their own affairs without intense intervention from and dependence on Daddy.gov.

[as seen on tv]

i think its serious. but seriously- they didn't think this through. millenials wouldn't want guaranteed jobs if they had perpetual welfare/unemployment, free healthcare, and legal pot, would they?

how does a guaranteed job work? you cant be fired for absenteeism, incompetetence, showing up stoned, or harassing your co-workers?

What I'm wondering is if the author is just pretending to be unaware of the fact that his vision of Utopia has been attempted many times before (always with disastrous effect), or if he's actually that naive? Or, the third option - he knows it's absurd, but doesn't think his audience will catch on?

Looks like the perfect communist utopia that lefty strives to reach on a daily basis. My favorite is Social Security for everyone. No work, just pay from Unkle sugar. Where does this stupid mother fucker think the money will come from.

Where does this stupid mother fucker think the money will come from.

From Obama's stash, of course!

Shoot. Forgot about that...

It doesn't make me laugh. It makes me very sad. It makes me sad to see what a crappy job we have done raising our children and passing on good values that kids that will one day should be thinking about being world leaders are trying to figure out how they can just be taken care of. WHO exactly will be doing or producing everythign these people are supposed to live off of? And, really - at what point did we stop instilling a work ethic in kids and people.

I have seen it a little with my younger brother. He is a millenial and I am on the tail end of Gen X. He asked me one day how did I know I wanted to be an accountant.... I laughed in his face. I didn't grow up thinking I was going to be an accountant.... I got in - found I coudl do this work - and found that it pays pretty nicely. Don't wast time thinking about what you will do when you grow up. Spend time figureing out what kind of job you need to have to finance the life you want. Your job is not supposed to be enjoyed - hence why it is called "work" if it was to be enjoyed you would call it "fun". Sure, hopefully it doesnt' suck everyday - but if you thinking finding a job has anything to do with passion or enjoyment you will most likely be disapointed.

But, this is the kind of nonsense and bullshit liberal teachers are filling their heads with. God help us all.

So how did those principle work out for the old Soviet Union? Good?

I agree, but I was in the mindset of "laugh so I don't cry" when I read this. But really, the entitlement complex on display in this article is stunning. And, I don't think this author is unique in any way in terms of his thinking. I think he represents the mainstream left, more or less. I've certainly seen many similar proposals from the lefties here on the board.

Sadly you are correct. I just feel like - God how did we F-up so much? Not a day goes by when talking to my kids I am not telling them - think for yourself, do for yourself... doesn't matter what other people have... you worry about what you have, be thankful for what you have....

Personally, I blame the baby boomers... the original spoiled brats. The things their parents worked hard for they shit on, ideas that built this country - they shit on... and then they managed to provide no stable home life for their kids, taught their kids that chasing down the temporary high or good feeling was better than sticking it out, working through the trouble spots, investing in homes, relationships, marriages..... if it feels good - do it...and flipping look at the absolute shitty mess we have on our hands. It makes sense honestly now why Queen Elizabeth his holding onto that Throne and not passing it down to Charles... I wish my grandparent's generation had held on and skipped right over their kids and gone to the Gen X'ers from the start. At least the "baby" part of "baby boomers" was right.....

What gets me most and I will never understand is what gives anyone the idea that they are entitled to what someone else has? What? Why would anyone look at their landlord and say - its not fair he owns this house and not me? Who fosters such negative attitudes and jealousy and bitterness? You may not like having a landlord - but no one is stopping you in this country from becoming one if that is what you want.
