WHAT EVEN IS A MILLENNIAL? I THOUGHT THEY WERE ALL IN THEIR 30s NOW. WHY IS EVERYONE OBSESSED WITH THEM?

>>38887332
Its nothing but term to target people that cant be strictly classified so age is used.
Similar to boomers, Gen X etc.
Its honestly pretty retarded, as if people in x generation are all the same. But humans love classifying and separating so what are you gonna do.

>>38887391
This just isnt true, there are some huge cultural differences with different age gaps, and millennials happen to be quite degenerative

>>38887989
>Cocaine, boozing and pedophile sex rings are not degenerative
>Okay, guess we are such awful people for smoking weed, should have stuck with nose candy, vodka and sex slaves

>>38886391
Kek, I'd like to see those pussy gen x fags try to ""save"" anything. Millennials are degenerates but mr. fag in OPs pic doesn't amount to anything just like the millennial roastie next to him. Fucking trash articles written by a shitty gen x journalist trying to make himself seem relevant.

>>38887989
We were the first generation to have access to the internet. Arguably shaped the internet and technology to be what it is with our vast user base. Of course there are going to be degenerates. Because humans.

>>38888068
Most gen x people are pretty cool. I think most of the criticism of x and millennials is from "The ME generation"

>>38888404
Holy shit I thought that referred to millennials for the longest time. Just goes to show how bad the stigma is being pushed, I guess. We've somehow taken up all the negative qualities of the baby boomers and no positive qualities at all.

Can someone give me an official list of all the "generations"? I've heard people say millenials are around 30 by now but sometimes people who are 20 are millenials as well? If I was born in 1997 does that make me a millenial or a gen Z? I'm confused as everyone seems to have different answers for this.

>>38889604
You're a millennial. It's like 85-00 who are millennials.

>>38887482

But they will do the opposite. Conservatives will destroy America.

>Baby Boomers are vein and arrogant asshats
>Gen Xers are cynical and apathetic asshats
>expect Millennials to be good

and that's your failure

>>38889665
Conservatives are the ones who have been holding this liberal shit hole together.

>>38889604
Generations tend to be separated by increments of 20 years. I'd say you're just at the beginning of Gen Z.

The official definition of millennial makes no sense and was developed prematurely. There's a huge difference between being born in the early 80s and late 90s.

>Gen X has a tremendous responsibility to keep faith with reality. They are the latest analog generation. Raised technologically on a pre-revolutionary moment, they are children of books, handshakes, body language and eye contact. They have learned - even if they have not yet appreciated it - the virtues of patience, self-control and delayed gratification. They knew what it meant to be out of touch with someone they loved. Some of them - too few - have learned how to repair an engine or wire a luminaire. Most remember the way things were silent; How easy it was to be alone.

>The world of bricks and mortars has virtues; The main among them is the human contact that it allows. What someone who remembers what it was to browse the racks of a worn record store told someone who has never heard a vinyl LP played by speakers stereo? How to convince someone who never called a girl's house and asked her parents if she was available to come to the phone that he actually had the courage to do it, and that it was something To be proud, something to remember - especially if she said yes. She was going to see a movie with you and, yes, you could call her again to speak (no text). It was an entirely different experience of typing "Hey, Wr U at?" Let's conX "and wait impatiently for the answer.

>These analogue tools have cultivated patience. If you wanted to see what happened to Scully and Mulder in the next episode of "The X-Files", you have to clear your schedule and present yourself in front of a TV at the indicated time. If you wanted to listen to the new album of your favorite artist, you went to the record store, paid for it and brought it home. If you sent a letter to someone, you waited for an answer. The wait made it clear that you can not have everything right away. Putting money on the barrel for the movies you watched and the music you listened to reinforced the idea that good things have a price and you can not get anything for nothing.

What are people born between these dates called then?

>>38891160
Between 1980 - 2000 is Millennials. Everyone who tells you otherwise is retarded. Some people will say 1985 - 2005 are Millennials. Before that is Gen X and after that is Gen Z

Yes, people being born after the millennium do indeed grow up after the millennium. In fact, everyone is always growing so everyone is a millennial i guess lmao.

It goes Boomers - X - Y - and then Zed would make sense but we kinda fucked it up by starting at the end of the alphabet, so I guess we'll just be playing it by ear from now on. Maybe call the twenties kids the clearsighters or something.

At any rate, it's before 1980 for X, 1980-2000 for Y, and from there it's millenials. Millennials are children of the millennium.

>>38891700

this generation shit is retarded both how it's spoken in the media and especially on 4chan. it's one thing to say something like, generally millenials grew up accustomed to computers and internet while generation x did not. but instead it's "millenials are le numale cuck generation but if you're born after 1998 like me you instantly become based redbilled conservative".

>>38890073
So millenials are gen Z??

>>38892065
It's written by people who are gen-z and are in this board. If anything Gen-z are the ones who are destroying everything. All of pop culture for the last few years have been aimed at them. Forced diversity in films are because of them.

>>38890140
millenials are those born into the 21st century, ala 1985 - 2000. gen z's are those born 2000 - present

Nope, try boomers.

>>38892260
But they haven't had the chance to do serious fuck ups yet, like importing massive amounts of migrants or voting for a giant welfare state.
Although the current situation in college campuses can also be atributed to them.

>>38892221
This.
Remember, boomers were the ones who gave us both Trump-tier thinking AND typical identity politics. They also claim to be fiscally conservative while being the poster children for needless spending AND are now collecting on big bad FDR's "socialist marxist pinko commie New Deal" social security.

They need to die.

>>38886391

>what the fuck is wrong with millenials

We pay people thousands and millions of dollars for being pretty, dramatic, pseudo-intelligent, etc. Maybe if we started giving people money for things like being productive, generous, kind, etc, then we'd see a shift in mindset. Personally, I blame the advertising agency and the 'free-ish' internet that we built.

>>38892869
>how
Interest rates would rise, prices would come down. Capital would be redirected towards actual economic production that benefits society.

>how
The natural tendency for prices is to decrease in a free market.
In a free market, prices come down while wages stay the same or possibly go up.
The government and corporations don't like this, so they support central banks.

>people sign up for that stuff
They only do it now because interest rates are so low.
Interest rates need to rise so people actually save money and produce things instead of being debt slaves.

>but all of your ideas are theoretical at best
Bullshit.
It actually worked quite well before.
The era in USA from 1870 to 1890 had free banking and had prices declining throughout the entire period while there was massive economic growth.

>>38892839
>I-it's not real Capitalism.
Capitalism is inherently opposed to traditions, culture, and morality. It cares about none of those things and actively harms them.

>Ron Paul and Mises are/were nationalists that wanted strong border protections though.
Libertarians, Ron Paul, etc. were all complaining about Trump's milquetoast immigration proposals throughout the campaign. Are you going to cite Hoppe now?

>That dramatically increases living standards for workers.
Yes, because technological advancements and quality of life improvements haven't happened drastically under other economic models. Only laissez-faire Capitalism can deliver 37 different flavors of potato chips, and that more than justifies the cost.

>Why are you such a bootlicker
Because when you liberate men from the tyranny of their government, you only shackle them to the tyranny of their environment and most base impulses.

>Libertarians, Ron Paul, etc. were all complaining about Trump's milquetoast immigration proposals throughout the campaign.
Gary Johnson is a leftist cuck and NOT a libertarian.

>haven't happened drastically under other economic models
They either don't happen at all or happen much more slowly under other economic models.
The model that best increases economic production and living standards is the free market.

Free markets turn genuine culture into a commodity. They strip proper values, ideas and traditions down and replace them with a mindless cult of mass consumption. They appeal to mankind's worst instincts asking whether or not there's a market for X, Y, or Z, rather than whether or not there should be.

>Gary Johnson is a leftist cuck and NOT a libertarian.
Gary Johnson wasn't the only one calling Trump's, again milquetoast, immigration proposals a bad thing. There's a very significant chunk of Libertarians and Free Market fanatics that want no "artificial" restrictions on the flow of labor.

>The model that best increases economic production and living standards is the free market.
I'll put Germany 1933-1945 up against any free market-oriented country.

>lol this is fucking meaningless
It's really not. What's happened since we got rid of things like obscenity laws, culturally imposed sexual regulations (helped out by a largely unregulated entertainment industry), etc.? Society has gone downhill. When you give people freedom, they typically make bad choices, and revert to their most base forms. Authority and regulations are necessary.

>you basically want people to be slaves
And you want them to be mindless animals without any meaning in their life, other than acting as interchangeable economic units.

>>38893009
>who would raise the interest rates
Abolish the federal reserve and interest rates go up naturally.

>where are you getting the 'natural tendency for prices to decrease in a free market' from?
lol reality?
history?
Everyone knows that the tendency for all prices is to go down.
Everywhere where there is no central bank, prices constantly decline as production increases.
Look at america 1870 to 1890.

>If people want to sign up to be debt slaves, how does that affect you?
Society as a whole becomes poorer.
The central banker economy we have today massively incentivizes debt slavery and PUNISHES saving. Savers get almost no return on their savings.

The image you are showing is just an example of a massive bubble that is going to pop horribly in the next few years.
>hurr it can go up forever
delusional lol

>Interest has been around longer than the USA central bank
When did I say interest was bad or not natural?

>not to mention we're also going through a period of massive economic growth

Increasing the stock market by creating money and pumping it into the stock market doesn't increase economic growth, it increases the value of the stock market.
Actual economic production in USA has been declining for decades.

>>38893110

No, there isn't.
Actual libertarians hate Gary.

>I'll put Germany 1933-1945 up against any free market-oriented country.
Why would I want to live in that shithole?
America during it's free market period had FAR FAR greater economic growth.

>anyone who opposes me is a leftist commie!
I just realize that capitalism free market or not is completely unsustainable. a system that revolves around profit may benefit society for a while but eventually it will deplete many resources, ruin the environment and collapse. not to mention the impact everyone being greedy self-interested cunts has on society.

>>38893187
>What the fuck is even your argument?
try reading the first non greentext line you lummox
>Leading to a massive increase in the production of food?
which is unsustainable and
why is having surplus food that goes to waste a good thing? you fucking retard lol monoculture is so inefficient and the only benefits are extremely short-term and only in terms of money
think harder, brainlet

>>38893231
>MUH RESOURCES
a free market only increases production of resources
once alternative forms of energy become cheaper they will outcompete fossil fuels and will be the dominant form of energy

>>38893275
>which is unsustainable and
No it's not.
Lol you people REALLY want to be enslaved.
You want to work harder to get the things you need to survive and thrive.
Capitalism is going to create automated vertical farms in the next 40 years.
How is this unsustainable?

>why is having surplus food that goes to waste
How is having very little food that people slave away to create a good thing? How are famines a good thing?
The only "waste" comes from bad expired food, or food consumers throw out.

>brainlet
you're probably come leftist retard that wants everyone to slave away
brainlet cuck

>>38893350
Automated farms are the future no matter what economic system is in place

>>38893111
>He thinks deflation is good
You're fucking retarded

>>38893170
>Wrong.
Great argument. Look at modern architecture.

>Shouldn't that be up to the people?

The State should be in the business of protecting culture. Post-industrial society and free markets have had the horrible effect of defanging most soft-power cultural regulatory agencies.

>No there isn't.
again, great argument. Hoppe=/=all of Libertarianism.

>America during it's free market period had FAR FAR greater economic growth.
Germany during the NSDAP period had massive technological breakthroughs, a high standard of living, and a plethora of privileges given to workers. Economic mobility was fairly decent, too.

>Why do you think if you leave humans alone to their own devices they will turn into mindless animals?
Because that's what the record shows. Remove behavioral regulations, and they start acting horribly. Sex, drugs and rock and roll sounds fantastic to most people. Until the family unit disintegrates, single motherhood explodes, drug use becomes and epidemic, etc.

>Why do you hate nature so much?
Because the entire history of civilization has been humanity's struggle to ascend to new heights. Look at most Western literature up until the enlightenment period. A hierarchy becomes fairly apparent. Angels are higher than humans, who are higher than beasts, etc. They had the sense to recognize that we should be aspiring to angels, not falling into our worst nature and bestial aspects.

>lmao you leftists are so fucking stupid and overdramatic
So you're not being overdramatic when you accuse me of wanting slavery? Leave it to the lolbertarian to be a complete and total hypocrite. Funny how, after citing NSDAP Germany, I'm considered a leftist. Let me guess, Democrats are the real racists, too?

You've got to be out of your fucking mind if you don't like capitalism. Some elements of free markets without the "no true scotsman, it's not a free market if it isn't ALL free" stupidity.

Fool, for you see, the same thing can be said about "Generation X," from the perspective of the Boomer.
We are doomed to ironically name each subsequent generation with a pejorative that further affects how we think about each other.

No, boomers.

>>38893595
The proof is how the population is changing in terms of racial demographics. Do you really think Mexicans and Muslims would be socially liberal?

I can't think of anything in common I have with children that grew up with smart phones or selfies, I didn't even own a smart phone until recently.

>>38893350
>muh alternative energy
which is reliant on state subsidies to be at all competitive, yet is still having a hard time against cheap fossil fuels. no way in hell fossil fuels will be phased out in time. environmental catastrophe is inevitable, admit it. and I still support the free market btw, because I want to make money selling crack to kindergartner prostitutes before humanity kills itself. and wew this thread got derailed fast.

I hope you fags realize that 90% of this entire board is millennials. You need to be born sometime in the early 1980's into the 2000's to be considered a millennial. Which would be the vast majority of people here.

Gen Xers couldn't use a computer to save their lives. Millennials grew up with computers and know the internet inside out. Show me how many Gen Xers can access the dark web, torrent, or go on sites that aren't social media/the news/email. My Gen X parents are fucking hopeless when it comes to technology. They can't even type in home-row position, it's painful to watch.

>>38889604
Gen Z starting point isn't clearly defined yet. It ranges from 1995-2000. Since you're born in the transitional period, you might have cultural characteristics of both a Millennial and Gen-Z'er. I was born in 1996 and I identify with Gen Z though more because I'm self-sufficient, rely on technology, and my life wasn't really affected that much by 9/11 and the Great Recession.

>>38894003
I'm honestly pretty computer illiterate in many ways too desu here. I grew up with computers but beyond knowing some basics I have a lot more I could and should be learning that my lazy self just hasn't cared enough to do. I really do need to start learning some more shit though.

Generations are just a meme.

>1950s family values were self destructive They bread the counter cultures that destroyed them
We didn't have such a severe backlash post-Puritanism or Victorianism though, those were objectively far more stifling.

>People weren't just brainwashed by the juice into not wanting to go against their parents
Never said they were. Sexual revolution, etc. has happened plenty of times before throughout history. Society always either collapses or wanes in turn.

Urban farms too. Being a rural bumpkin will be a thing of the past thanks to Agenda 21

Holy fucking shit why are you posting on a mongolian imageboard

>>38893111

So let me get this straight....
The Dow Jones industrial is sitting at 22,000...which means that it should be level at about 18,000-19,000 considering stocks are overvalued right now

The USA GDP is up from 14.42 trillion to 18.57 trillion

The unemployment rate is at 4.3%

The average wage in the USA is $57,600 as of 9/2016 from 53,000 in 2014

And the Euro and Dollar are trading very closely right now.

And you're saying this is because they're pumping money into the system?

Wrong, the best definition of i've seen is capitalism is the right to private property and enforcement of contracts.
I just wanna point out that how annoying it is people like you who tries to compesate their lack of knowledge with opinions. It's intelectually dishonest and shows how retard you are.
Antonio Gramci, one of the most influencial guys in the cominist circle said himself that the european culture and christianity was one of the biggest obstacles against comunism.

It's absolutely hilarious that you're talking about lack of knowledge, when you're citing "muh Gramsci." I'm 99% certain that you've never read anything of his.

Yes, Communists have their fair share of blame for the dismal state of affairs. Hardline Capitalists aren't any better.

But please, continue to tell me how laissez-faire capitalism isn't averse to state-imposed regulation of morality, or borders. I'm dying to hear it.

Businesses lobby for more low-skilled immigrants because they want more debt slaves and unskilled workers to drive down minimum wage. The upper crust has gated communities, they don't care if you get raped by someone from a place where rape isn't considered a big deal.

Of course there need to be government intervention to protect against monopolies and cartels etc. And especially when it comes to protecting the domestic market.
>But please, continue to tell me how laissez-faire capitalism isn't averse to state-imposed regulation of morality, or borders. I'm dying to hear it.
I never said it isn't, but this morality is not imposed by an entity dettached from society. That's why government officials are elected. The point is to have a system where the people is free to have their own initiatives and profit from them.
