My friend made a post on FB commenting about @PeteButtigieg and how the younger generation “isn’t ready” and how @AOC is “rare”. Originally this was my comment, but decided that speaking life into other people’s preconceived notions is worthless. I’d rather speak fire into you.
Mind you, I don’t endorse Pete and I think he’s comical in the sense that I don’t understand why we’re talking about him yet I demand the same “Hey this guy likes penis, give him power” treatment that he’s getting for our Senate run. I also want the @KamalaHarris #POC card too.
My response to the post;

“Yes because the previous 3 generations before us did such a great job ruining, j mean running the world (sorry #GenXers, you’re not counted in this as I’m sure your generation prefers oddly enough).

My estimation; 2 World Wars, 5 Major Wars, dozens of minor wars, 2 nuclear bombs dropped killing civilians, the shadow and threat of which has infected my generation. Austerity, war crimes, intel agencies having unchecked rampant power and the media mouthpiece to help.

What else..record poverty despite having record breaking wealth. The largest amount of food being produced ever in history concurrent with the largest amount of people starving to death. Y’all bankrupted our country, the world and diluted so much wealth into so few hands.

And Y’all tell us that we have to do more than what Y’all did, with less resources and the scorn of always having someone say “The millennials are ruining everything.” News flash, we don’t eat tide pods because most of us are busy working 9-5 for shit pay and avocado toast.

(5/?) My generation is the largest share of the voting bloc in the country, and we have 5% of the seats in Congress last I checked. Perhaps what you’re truly afraid of is that my generation is not going to play by the rules that Y’all decided to make up when you took the reins?

What you should be afraid of is that we’re gonna burn all this down because I’ll tell you, many of us are tempted and I have a book of matches that I’m just dying to light. @AOC is wonderful but she is not a rare sight; she is the continuation of the revolution.

(7/?) The revolution began with @BernieSanders, that is frankly undeniable. @AOC is only the first of many and many of us are tired of feeling that we have to gain your approval when you will not live to deal with the consequences of the situations that Y’all made.

One last thing, @PeteButtigieg is 36 goddamn years old, he isn’t a “youth”. Calling him such only serves to continue to treat us like children when in reality, we are stronger than you may ever know. The best part is, we thank you for that.”

I know, super harsh but I said what I said. My generation does not need to be coddled or spoken down to. We don’t need to be ridiculed or blamed. We need to be given just half of the power than certain generations have hoarded to themselves for this entire millennium thus far.
