Cool, no idea what you are talking about. Conservatives whine about trans people taking over the world which is not what millienials whine about. They tend to whine about financial insecurity caused by neoliberalism and environmental destruction.

This man is complete basket case and a borderline pedo. The problem is that a lot of people in transcult consider him to be "poor oppressed victim" and defend him.
If they outright stated that this guy is completely insane and doesn't represent anything about trans community, that would have been one thing, but it seems transcult is not interested in it.

Do you know any trans people? This person is an embarrassment to them that has set back their attempts at rights and protection dramatically. Transcult is also not a thing. Trans people have differing opinions but presumably most want rights and protections, if that sounds cult like to you.

Unlikely if they are supported by massive organization and internet mob. Otherwise guy from the sentence above, Yaniv, would have been in jail or in asylum long time ago.

The fact that inaction of transcult and their rampant clinging to their horrid ideology does nothing, at the expense of logic and safety of women and kids, but empowers crazies to be even more crazy. And there is no accountability, since in eyes of transcult any accountability is transphobic.

Actually, as I mentioned and you seemed to ignore, this crazy person tried to swing power around but was found to be exploiting the discourse for insincere reasons. They had to pay fines and are pretty much disgraced. Therefore, hand wringing is unnecessary.

While using devices made by Chinese slave labor with no problems, worshiping and defending cheap pandering from multi-billion corporations like Disney.
Also, financial insecurity is not caused by environmental destruction. It's caused by dumb usage of resources.

As for conservatives whining about transcult, they are justified considering that transcult causes a lot of collateral damage, as well, as setting back rights of LGBs and women.

What sounds like a cult to me is their desire to attack others and pretend that they are something they are not, regardless of logic and reality.

Where were you even getting that she's borderline pedo? Nowhere did Rooish mention anything of the sort, nor was there any mention of children regarding the case. Stop conflating issues. It makes your entire point invalid.

Ignore the troll. I seriously doubt he's ever even met a trans person, much less knows any. And his posts are consistently bigoted and phobic against anyone who happens to be one. He also likes to whine about how "snowflakes" are always whining about real issues in the world, while dismissing their problems as delusions and entitlement. So, consider the source here, and just treat it accordingly.

Fair enough, it was just such madness I had to reply. It is rough visiting the Current Events section! My point was that, when someone misues the rights/privileges given to them, they got caught.

P.s. also I meant it as two separate issues to worry about--financial insecurity and environmental degradation.

He had directly mentioned Yaniv, a man who is known for his insane behavior, including unhealthy (to say the least) behavior towards children. It is directly relevant to the person mentioned.
But of course he must be misunderstood precious "girl" and bad things he did is just rumors or lie of some *phobes.

Whenever someone disagrees with you and calls out your ********, they are troll. Of course.

On the other hand what I can expect from "magical nature with rainbows and unicorns exists beyond the veil" type of person.

Does it hurt much when someone doesn't buy your lies?

Actually, boomers have experienced more hardship than millennials, and their criticism of millennials is justified considering that boomers experienced the tumultuous 60s and 70s due to the Civil Rights era, and Vietnam (the last war when men were drafted into war). The reason why older generations criticize millennials is because their entitlement is due to never having experience great wars or extreme financial hardship of generations past, and thus is reflected in millennials' more eccentric and superficial priorities.

It's laughable to say people can't handle millennials "speaking up for themselves" when boomers have actually went out onto the streets and faced far worse violence and retaliation (i.e. 1970 Kent State), and sacrifices just to have basic, fundamental rights of being able to protest, and have equal (race and gender), environmental, and workplace rights. Most millennials now think that virtue signaling on social media equates to the same thing. Considering how self-absorbed millennials are, it's rare to find those willing to make the financial, family, and career sacrifices for their causes like their parents used to do.

Let's not forget also that the millennials' grandparents (The Greatest Generation) certainly had more grounded priorities than millennials due to experiencing The Great Depression, and World War II.

It's a harsh truth, but a Truth nonetheless, Double-R.

I can't even pretend that I've got it half as bad as my grandparents or great-grandparents. My great-grandparents on one side lived in Poland in the f*cking 1940s and came over here for reasons that I'm sure would be obvious to anyone with a history book. I can't even imagine what "fun" that was. The Irish side, same sh*t from a different direction.

Like yeah, I got it rough. Lots of people do. But rougher than possibly being thrown in a concentration camp (a REAL one, not a border facility for those temporarily-detained)? Rougher than being drafted right out of high school to go fight and die in some war you had nothing to do with, just because your number came up? Rougher than it being TOTALLY LEGAL for someone to lynch you in broad daylight because your skin was the wrong color for the neighborhood? I mean come ON.

Every generation has its ups and downs, but the sh*t I see going on right now is laughable. These are the very definition of First World Problems. "The menial monkey's job I have doesn't pay as much as the jobs people get after eight years of college. But I wanna buy toys and stuff! It's so unfair! Why do I have to live in a sh*tty apartment when the people who work a lot longer and harder than I do get to live in nice places? I want the right to go outside looking like I haven't bathed in months, I want the right to not shave my visible body hair, I want the right to use whatever bathroom I want, I want the right to make people uncomfortable as much as possible, I want the right to physically assault people who disagree with me because I'm on 'The Right Side of History', I want the right to get paid a 'living wage' even though I 'choose not to work', or, 'CAN'T go to work' because I have 'anxiety', I want everyone else to pay for my diabetic meds or lung transplant because I refuse to stop smoking or lose weight, I want I want I WANT! And since I WANT, that means I DESERVE, but god forbid I should have to handle any of this my own self."

I'm sorry, but as I've said, I've got some Old-World Horse Piss in my veins, and I was raised to believe that if you ain't "making it", you're not trying hard enough, and that nobody but you owes you a living. Maybe that's cold, but hey, that's reality, and it don't change just because some people wish it weren't so.

So while this rant has nothing to do with the thread topic, yeah, no, the current generation has comparatively ZERO problems of merit compared to anyone over 40. People nowadays don't know what it's like to grow up in a town where oil or coal was the one and only job, then watch everybody slowly starve to death or die from addiction once all the resources are gone and the town withers and dies off. Or a fishing town, same thing. Our parents, grandparents, and before had far fewer options than anyone has nowadays. Today people get paid to write sh*tty web articles and never leave their house, or can sell arts and crafts on Etsy... sh*t, they can go outside and say hello to people without worrying about contracting Polio or Measles!

We take all this sh*t for granted, and it's because the younger generation lacks perspective. One could argue that their struggles are merely "different", but if you really break it down... no, yeah. They are very, very inconsequential "problems" by comparison, and a lot of them are self-inflicted and carry fairly simple solutions. It all really boils down to entitlement. *I* was taught, "Nobody owes you sh*t. You deserve nothing more than what you earn." Today, it's "I want, therefore I Deserve." And that's really the root of it all.

Again, nothing to do with the thread topic, but I agree with RR that it's absolutely laughable that anyone under-40 could ever say with a straight face that their problems compare in any way with those who came before. No chance.

Einstein had a cool theory, it was called relativity.

Man. To even begin to suggest that the world is easier to navigate today, then generations past. You’d have to have actually lived both. Our world of stripped resources and spiderwebs of crazy HR insanity, with upside down politics, outrage and hate is not the doing of just the people who showed up last.

Kind of laughable to say otherwise. Romancing the past is just that, especially when its not your past.

[Leo656]

We presently live in a world where a person with no education or marketable skills can make a substantial living by filming themselves performing sex acts with a ventriloquist dummy and streaming them on the internet. Some of those people make as much as college graduates.

Please, keep telling me how things today are just oh-so-difficult compared to the times when children had to drop out of schools to work in factories or else their siblings would starve to death. Which wasn't all that long ago, by the way.

The worst thing anyone deals with nowadays is someone calling them by the wrong pronoun, and they legitimately think that's justification for physical violence in itself. "They called me a bad thing!" That's the kind of stuff kids nowadays spend most of their time bitching about. That, and "I can't work" because "I'm afraid of people."

Scales ain't balanced, chief. The world is absolutely easier to navigate today than it was even 30 years ago, and anyone who says otherwise is either obtuse or just plain ignorant. Which most people under-30 provably are.

People writing in emojis on their job applications and wondering why they don't get hired for good jobs. Cry me a f*cking river. These kids create their own problems. That's what people do when there's no actual "injustice" to fight: tilt at windmills.

[TommyT]

GenY bitching about Millennials is fascinating.

[Sumac]

I like how millennials blame Boomers for everything. Despite it were Boomers who achieved pretty much all the rights which millennials take for granted today. Yet they have the gall to call them some sort of monsters.

It is such fascinating lack of perspective.

[Leo656]

I demand to know the age of everyone in this room before I continue with this conversation.

Also, I'mma need to know who's f*ckin' Portuguese. Don't ask why, they know what the f*ck they did.
