Why do Millennials love communism so much?

>>9349697
I can answer that one! Literally decades of ideological warfare targeted at all American children since the end of the Cold War, carried out via infiltration of the educational system and abuse of our democratic system. They have been indoctrinated with communism for their entire lives by every figure of authority they've known -- teachers, coaches, counselors, celebrities, and television programs -- all while being increasingly more separated from their own families and parents in the process.

>>9348723
Most of them are grown children so they need others approval for everything.

>foodie

Most people, at all times and all places, are generally not knowledgable or good at the vast majority of things. It's foolish to glamorize the past.

The age of "home cooking" using local produce and classical techniqued has largely died in the western world, not because of people's upbringings or character, but because of the ability to pay people to cook for you, the proliferation of cheap imported and preprepared items, and the fact that adults are expected to work 40 hours or more a week.

I am annoyed at "DIY foodie;" it's fucking cooking, we have a word for it.

>>9350046
Less because of the work hours and more because in a two parent household both need to work to make ends meet now, whereas before one could stay home and thus had plenty of time to cook.

My girlfriend was born in '88 but is the youngest, by far. Bother her parents are older than mine and are basic boomers. The child of a boomer is an X'r. That's why I give her shit for being so old and out of touch.

I'm skeptical that you need 2 people working full time in one household to make ends meet. Naybe you live where the rent is high. Fine, but this shit sounds like bad management or an excuse.

>>9350533
What is West Germany. Capitalism, while not perfect, gives you a chance to pull yourself OUT of circumstances. Communism is only good HYPOTHETICALLY.

>Girlfriend is 8 years younger than me

Do all Gen X'ers have these mental gymnastics?

>>9349697
Because consciously or otherwise they are the first generation to live with the specter that at pretty much any second, all jobs everywhere (that they care about) could cease to exist if some particularly smart nerd in some tech circle somewhere figures "it" out.

They are also going to inherit generational debt for systems they won't benefit from at all and the second biggest economic catastrophe in the history of modern civilization caused purely by the raw greed of a tiny minority of super powerful business figureheads, many are trying to fit into a sluggish economy with doctorate level debt that they know in their guts will get them no further than mid level manager and most will struggle to achieve even the most basic level of financial independence.

That doesn't even touch on the decades of ideological shaping that's been done ala >>9349725

>>9350643
>Capitalism, while not perfect, gives you a chance to pull yourself OUT of circumstances
As does Communism. Just join the oligarchy of political elites by proving your merits and bam, you're away from the masses. I'm not being sincere, a low class person doesn't really have the opportunity to "pull themselves out" under either system, since in Capitalism, the vast majority of low-class people live in cultures that don't value education, saving, health, and so they will remain uneducated, poor, and unhealthy because we're all just products of our environments. Capitalism isn't perfect, nor is communism, but let's not pretend socioeconomic mobility is applicable to anything more than exceptional cases.

>Why do Millennials love communism so much?

Because the leftists destroyed the family unit in a large portion of the U.S., which means there isn't a man in the house to teach them how to be independent and that life isn't fair. Instead, there's a significant portion of the population that are raised by single women that expect society to give them everything they need, and it rubs off on their whore-spawn.

>>9351198
Millennials ruined the internet a decade ago, mate.

Wow, the corporate fascist stooge league has really come out in force tonight. Unable to deny the decline of the middle class and growing lower class while the top 5% continue their raping, plundering and pillaging under the auspices of "legality." Ironically, the stooges accept licking their overlords' boots because they get to have their bang-bang popguns and scary boogeymen to wail about.

>>9351230

This is some next-level paranoiac garbage.

>>9351832
This is just patently untrue. Ignoring the degree to which success on standardized college admissions tests has been quantitatively demonstrated to be dependent in no small part on the socioeconomic status of one's parents, the potent combination of the increasing importance of a college education in consideration for the jobs most likely to aid class mobility (i.e. tech and marketing/sales positions) and the drastically increased (outstripping inflation by no small percentage) costs of undergraduate education means that those born into positions of wealth are in both qualitatively and quantitatively better positions than those born into the the middle or lower classes. Your position is literally pure ideology.

>>9351832
but when you ask "why are they retards?" you get into my point, which is that there are many class-dependent factors (like quality of education, a culture's attitude towards money and "forgetting where you came from", access to higher education) that dampen the ostensibly universal socioeconomic mobility you're talking about.
>halfway competent
you really think it's that simple to go from rags to riches?

>>9351849
>paranoiac garbage.
Have you literally never had a history class or read a history book

>>9351813
No, it's a new thing thats popping up at a lot of places these days. It's usually one great big table at the center of the room somewhere and multiple parties sit down and eat at that table, so you often end up meeting new people and making new friends and getting to look at what other people are having.

Eating has become a group experience, people want to get back in touch with the community around them, especially in recent years as people have begun to feel more and more isolated even from their own next door neighbors.

>>9349697
Society has become really femenine since women spend 80% of all money spent and since women represent the biggest voting demographic so it makes sense that everyone tries to pander to them
Since everything is female oriented that means female concerns such as security and safety are more important than male concerns such as liberty or individuality, not saying that it's every case but that's the norm.
As for why men get so involved well, some men would follow women anywhere because they are losers desperate to get laid, other men want communism for their own selfish reasons, other men seek the safety of the group as a way to hide their true persona and that's why we see more sexual crime/racism/homophobia in the left than the right, because they have the perfect type of culture where they protect each other even when one commits something horrible as long as he is part of the group

>>9351858
I never said it was impossible. Maybe I wasn't clear: two people, for all intents and purposes equal in their physical and mental attributes, are likely to face differing degrees of "success" based upon accidents of birth, for reasons I already outlined. Nowhere did I say that the poor have no ability; what I said was that conceiving of "ability" as transcendental or amaterial is foolish. Ability never expressed and acknowledged by another is, for all intents and purposes, nonexistent. Everyone has ability(-ies); the issue is that accidents of birth increasingly dictate which abilities one is reasonably likely to be afforded the opportunity to express.

On top of all the barriers to increasing wealth for a poor person, there's the mental/cultural barrier you have to overcome to even WANT to climb the ladder. These Horatio Algers type people youre talking about that "made it big" are a select few. To take the anecdotes of their lives and extrapolate to say "well I guess if you're not a fucking retard you can do it too" is too many leaps for me to not call you out on. Yeah it's possible, but that doesn't make it probable, or even a simple matter of intelligence or competency.

Exactly. The analogue for capitalism is working your ass off for a promotion at an unskilled workplace only to find that it's a dead end, and you burn out while fattening the profits of your superiors.

>>9352100
Sounds much better than the commie options.

Man, this is the second time in as many days I've gotten embroiled in relatively serious (that is to say, serious for 4chan) political debates on fairly apolitical boards (/ck/ and /tg/)

>>9349067
I did when I had lots of friends

>>9352102
But both are the expected path for someone who acts that way in that situation, and both are definitely not socioeconomic mobility, which was the heart of the issue. The clear lack of mobility makes capitalism unattractive, and makes "communist" policies more attractive by comparison, because they seem to be fueled by an empathy for proles that lots of millenials have.

Sidenote, liking communism or being in favor of communism typically doesn't mean favoring completly upending even a majority of capitalist institutions. Commie vs capitalist is not a black and white, all or nothing conversation. Most of the time, "favoring communism" is just voting for universal healthcare and living with friends and not all buying your own car and house and having your own kid because that's unfeasable as fuck.

>>9352146
ye. a lot of the popular support for socialist or communist policies comes not from a conscious desire to upend the entirety of contemporary business, but simply from a desire to live a more stable life separate from the life that capital would find it most beneficial for us to live. the needs and desires of capital (insofar as it can be characterized as an agent) very often diverge in a drastic manner from teh needs and desires of the vast majority of individuals.

the to be quite honest famalama. I work at a bank and its amazing how ingrained the desire to screw "Small Business owners" is ingrained into corporate policy.

As far as screwing with consumers, Wells Fargo has made it clear that its still routine.

>>9352789
A little misleading, they are doing agriculture, its just its all smaller scale. Equipment is so expensive that you need to have a shit ton of acres just to lease a combine that can only harvest the monocrops like corn, soy, and wheat.

Three of those companies don't exist in my area for "most trusted" companies. I don't believe statistics and graphs anymore after the election, these people only poll city bitches.

I like how the liberal media portrays Millennial killing shitty chain restaurants in favor of good local restaurants as a bad thing

>>9353203
Explain to me how that is liberal media?

>>9353219
Exactly. If anything it would be the right. The educated left has been the one to move toward embracing buying local from smaller producers and businesses. The right is the one to portray that as pretentiously hipster.

I mena conservative media might do it too, but I don't really follow conservative media so I don't know. 90 some % of the media I see is from the liberal side and they are always lamenting the death of terrible chain restaurants because of millenials

Holy fuck, my sides

No thanks. I'd like to have my meal with the people I came with, not them plus you and your mouthbreathing cohorts

>>9353770
yeah, I would say 2 meals a day is far more common than 4. Some of the stuff in there sounded fairly accurate but some of it was just weird

>>9349067
I did this yesterday, with the bf and a friend. Went to asian supermarket. Got some Okinawan sweet potatoes and three varieties of plantain, among other things.

We also group shop at Costco with Mommy and her membership. Getting my own card in a couple months when it renews.

>>9354017
Mostly people are incensed by what other people eat from what I've seen, unless there actually is something funny about it. For example, I think the macromolecule profiles and the silly childish names of lots of british foods (chip butty is the only thing that comes to mind) are a fucking riot, but I can specifically point out why. It's those things that are funny, not the preference itself, if that makes sense.

That is fact at this point you avocado toast tier retard. American wages have plateaued for the past 30+ years while the cost of everything has risen. Millennials aren't eating themselves to the poor house. Boomers have had more advantages than any generation before them and any since while still having to gall to complain about other generations.

>>9353011
Well not as far as to make it a career but learn how the motor runs at least. "Ethical Treatment" ranges between the people who demand such a label and most of them couldnt raise a stalk of corn, much less a cow. Its one thing to want them to move around and eat from the pasture, that makes for better meat. Its another entirely when yuppies are looking for someone who massages the steers and only feed them the finest floral arrangements like other cultures allegedly do.

seems ok. I don't think the communal table thing is accurate though, there's only a handful of restaurants downtown over here with seating like that. Also the custom thing isn't a "need", I prefer to just pick from a standard menu since it's faster

>>9353824
>seated with random people

Of course a millennial won't give a shit who or what he's eating with since his/her/its head is buried in a phone from street to table and beyond. How they even have material friends anymore goes way over my head since when I see them in groups their heads are in their phones and they don't even communicate with each other. They're like an entirely different species.

all you "born in the wrong generation" fucktards need to get over yourselves, and if you're older than a millennial, it's time to gtfo 4chan for Christ's sake.

>>9353685
it's when a group of people pays money every month or so to have a fancy dinner made with great ingredients usually at someone's home.

>>9354431
but Supper Club already means something else so they should probably pick a new term

>>9354432
Not really, it's basically the same thing as a traditional supper club, just for the modern person.

>>9354446
except a traditional supper club is a restaurant and bar, a physical location. Not a group of friends making dinner together sometimes. The two concepts aren't really correlated at all besides having to do with eating

(West) Germany is a social market economy, a mix of socialism and capitalism, you fucking faggot

Also, historically speaking, the only reason Germany is well off is because of US economic intervention, same as in South Korea for example.

People were literally starving, eating their family dogs, women were whoring themselves out for cigarettes after the war.

'capitalism and hard work' my fucking ass.

Yes, it has a social market economy you mouthbreathing retard. Can you read? Universal healthcare is a socialist policy, there are hundreds of others, yet the market is still mainly capitalist aside from all the government intervention.

Sure, scandinavian social democracies are one of the freest economies on earth. Yet they aren't retarded enough to say fuck wealth redistribution cause they realize the inherent inequalities of capitalism. They also have more of the "american dream" (social mobility) than america does. (They are retarded enough to fall for identity politics and import tons of muslims though).

>>9349067
Yes and they specialize in making conversation when there is none to be had about dumb shit. They know what they need to get but the act like they are debating it just to fill the room with hot air. In a pinch the same normies will get on the phone if they are alone and tell their friend everything they put in the cart.

>>9354597
having a safety net doesn't make you socialist. Every government in the world has some things it controls and intervenes in, that doesn't make them socialist. Its still very much a capitalist economy

>>9354614

Literally exactly what I said. An economy that is mainly capitalist (not planned) yet there are socialist policies ('safety nets') and there is also a high degree of government intervention (substitution, European Union intervention..). The two latter things directly oppose unregulated capitalism, hence why people came up with a new name for this system. Are you repeating my points now?

>>9354674

this may be true in major metro area, full of trendy hipsters. in average, small town USA, it's nowhere close to reality. redneck, cowboys, and the great masses of minimally employed will be shopping at wal-mart with their SNAP cards, hitting up the drive-thru at McDonalds or Wendys, maybe a Sonic if one's around. A fancy night out would be spent at the local all-u-can-eat Chinese buffet or Golden Corral steak house. they won't be cooking 'cause Domino's delivers, and sometimes there's a free 2 liter of Coke to boot. they don't give a crap about organic, non-gmo stuff, if fact, they'll prolly deem it communist and librul, and won't have any part of it. they've never been into a starbucks, because they can't afford it, besides, who's stoopid enough to spend $6 on a cup of coffee, anyway. They're gonna be chugging down Natty Light or Milwaukee's Best because them fancy beers taste funny. besides, you can't really taste the beer when you got a cheek full of snuff or red man chewin' tobacco. 'Murika-hells yeah!

>>9348723

It's more like 87~99. I'm 84 and we still had typewriters in highschool and beat up the one rich kid on the daily for having a phone.

Phones and internet weren't a thing until 2002-2003ish, and is the actual cutoff for millennial, but somehow people still think 80's/90's kids fit into the millennial category

I've seen a cut off at 1995 for the generation that would be considered to be after the millenials, since at that point anyone born that year and afterwards wouldn't be likely to remember a life without internet.

Agree. It's 99% luck. Any small mistake and it's over. Trip and hurt your leg, no healthcare? All your dreams die. Miss a chance to connect with someone important? Prob never have a second chance. Piss off someone with power and a shitty attitude? He could screw you over with a single bad word in his upper circle.

Sounds like you've already given up. All those things you mentioned in your post applied equally to things in the past just as they do today. If anything they've gotten better.

>>Implying the playing field ever was (or should be) level.

>>9348723
A few friends of mine like to go to the grocery store together, but mainly because they all get stuff at the same time. I don't know what exactly they mean by communal tables, but unless they're going to a restaurant with a large party, I don't see that shit happen.

>organic meme

>>9356786
yes, but as I've said in other posts, the "can" in "you can change your class" is way smaller than most people think (since a person's expected income and a ton of other class-based elements of their live are largely determined by their parent's income), and to me, the main difference between capitalism and communism is not social mobility when you look at how they work in practice. The main difference is the level of prosperity.

Millenials were a mistake. I cant see how someone would have time for some of the bullshit listed in OPs pic while holding a job and having a family.
Shopping in groups? Unless you have the literal same routine as the people you shop with I dont see how it is possible.
I dont know why wanting to be informed about your food, or the place you want to eat at is a generational thing, that even seem kind of contradictory considering millenials are the most retarded generation yet.
Buying "premium" ingredients and choosing artisinal/handicrafted food feels like a millenial attitude alright. I feel like millenials are too concerned with being unique and standing out, but wrongly attribute their personality/character to what they consume rather than to what they think or achieve.
I have little hope for the next generation whatever the fuck the name is.

>>9360902
>Buying "premium" ingredients and choosing artisinal/handicrafted food
That's one thing that puts them head and shoulders above previous generations who settled for lower and lower quality pig slop from soulless megacorporations.

>what they think or achieve
Your notion of what someone should try to achieve, i.e. some misguided idea of an american dream with an insurmountable mortgage on a sprawling house in a boring, bland milquetoast suburb with several spawn you hate and wife you're bored with tied down to a job you despise, is not everyones idea of achievement.

>>9360902
I'm not trying to impress anyone by shopping for good quality food, I just care about what passes over my taste buds. Also, I like small businesses.
