Millennials are pretty much f**ked. 911 created a jobs program for the military industrial complex, sending investments outside of the US. The real-estate crash led to government austerity and hence less opportunities. The pandemic was the nail in the coffin.
Now it's their responsibility to clean up the environmental mess that previous generations left them. They have to do this while no money is spent on there because previous generations want to retire comfortably.
But what are Millenials doing? They are focusing on cultivating their brand on social media. What is often the case is they avoid conflict and keep silent about the injustices that they are subjected to.
BTW, did you notice that the Jan6 insurrectionists were mostly middle-aged men and retirees? The only millennials were people pushing their brand (see: guy with Bison headgear).
We are heading rapidly to a world depicted by the movie Elysium. Where only the affluent live in a world of paradise, while everyone else lives in a dog-eat-dog world with all their attention paid towards surviving.
For Elysium to become reality, the status quo must be preserved. Those without financial mobility must remain without options. Those without options must realize that resistance is futile. One should burn their youth as a cog in the machinery that leads to Elysium.
