Of course they’re not as burned out as us; they’re younger and haven’t been beaten down for as long. I’m sure they’ll get their time, but we need to stop this intergenerational infighting and focus on what’s really important: putting everyone over 50 in camps and redistributing their wealth.
A bit extreme
These terms like “Gen X” or “Millennials” are just as meaningful as astrological signs. In other words: They aren’t.
These supposed generational differences are utter nonsense. There’s no scientific research behind them. There are always people with different experiences and biographical backgrounds, but no entire generation experiences the same background.
But there are some similarities throughout a cadre. For example one generation lived through the Great Depression, another through WW2, and yet another through the black plague. It doesn’t mean that whole cadres experiences are exactly the same and ubiquitous across the globe, but it does mean it shares some environmental characteristics that are useful for categorization.
While it may not be very useful in many contexts, it absolutely isn’t the same as astrology.
Nope we’re not doing this again. It’s not like that. Were all equally fucked on average. Let’s not be crabs in a bucket.
This whole Gen vs Gen bullcrap is a bourgeois distraction attempt. Don’t buy into any of it. There is no Gen vs Gen, it’s bourgeois vs proletariat.
Everyone is calling out (rightfully so) the divisive bait but I think there is some interesting reason worth discussing behind this:
Some Gen Z folks used the wisdom of millennials and just said fuck it and checked out, their lives might not be great but it’s probably stress free.
Whereas for millennials, in theory having the American dream was possible, just less likely as time progressed. They are stuck with an almost sunken cost fallacy in which they have tried so hard cause they believed with enough effort they would make it. Now that they are burned out, they are faced with the dilemma of either stop trying and waste the high efforts or keep going and maybe they will get lucky.
So in conclusion, millennials having it better can backfire in some sense.
The only reason this can be even slightly true is strictly because of age. We are ALL burnt out. They will be where millennial are in just a few years. We gotta stop this gen VS gen nonsense.
Don’t let the Mainstream Media incite any war but a Class War.
Gen Z may think they have it rough but millennials are the most burned-out generation
What, you think they’d report on anything useful to keep their role as the Fourth Estate? Naaah. CLICKBAIIIIIT!!
GenX here. We plan to work full time until we are dead. We have no retirement savings. Get bent.
With increased demands on this specific generation of caregivers, other studies have shown that it’s in a company’s best interest to ensure millennials have the resources and benefits that they need to succeed.
That’s not gonna happen. Workers must toil to make more profits for the people at the top or they will be replaced.
Didn’t know being mentally unwell is a competition, but bring it on
Call forth the therapists and let them do battle for our honor
Fuck that. Every generation throws a hero up the pop shart.
I’m 42 and I’ve been burned out since 1983.
*counts on fingers*
Shit man
Millennials are more burned out because of having more time to have gotten burned out.
Compare people of same age. Get back to me about gen Z in 10 or 15 years and compare them to Millennails now.
Exactly. I’m a millennial and this is absolute bullshit. Gen Z has it way worse than we did at that age, and we already had it rough.
These generational differences simply do not exist. Societies don’t work that way that everybody in a cohort has the same experiences and biographies.
Everyone is fuck this gen war bait and fuck fake journalist
Instead of the class war, fuck billionaires
Millennial here. Fuck this shit - our enemy is the ultra rich and shitstains that abuse power. Pitching generations against eachother is counterproductive.
Breaking through these made up barriers is the best thing we can do in the US right now to fight those jackasses and their tyranny.
