This must be the most hated generation of all time.

I thought Boomer hate was a bit over the top until the last few years when, effortlessly, Millenials surpassed the Boomers in general stupidity, self-aborbdness, selfishness, shocking sense of self-entitlement, and generally being annoying.

How the fuck did these fuckers end up like this?

I cannot for the life of me undertand the way they think.

I am not like some old person complaining about the young, which is a given for much of history. Most old people complain about the young with an implicit understanding that they are old in their ways and that the young are just rebelling, which they themselves did in their youth.

But the super fucking annoying thing with the rebellion of these Millenial A-holes is that they are rebelling by...standing WITH The Establishment? WHAT THE FLYING FUCK?

In all of history, the young always sought to stick it to the man. They always fought authority or mocked it.

But these fucking Millenials are...with the authority? What the fuck? Why would you push for everything that the Establishment stands for?

There must be some phenomenon here that I don't understand on why, for the first time in history, the young don't fight the Establishment, but fights those who fights the Establishment. The young have become bootlickers and lapdogs of the Establishment.

Can somebody explain how the Millenials became this way?

Op says millenials are not properly rebelling against "the establishment". Another user suggests the problem is a lack of spanking.

I'd say this is about parental and state authority, not divine authority. And in the end,

In the context of rebelling against the establishment, I don't think the difference matters too much. Because parents are the ones who sent their children to public schools. They are the ones who pacify their toddlers with their smartphones and later let their children watch TV or some degenerate Twitch streamer.

I certainly agree that the issue is not spanking.

If millenials aren't properly rebelling against "the establishment", it's probably because their moral "frame of reference" is inadequate for the task at hand...

Also there's a distinction between faith and rituals, between the believer and organized religion

Yes, and everyone gets their frame of moral reference primarily from their parents, school and media they consume. Okay, a small handful may also read philosophical books entirely on their own, and even less will read more than one. But those are a minority. Not a 20% minority, more like a 0.1% minority. For the masses, morality is acquired from school, parents and media.

And where do parents get their sense of morality?

Religion.

Even you.

2000 years () of monotheistic religion shaped the western sense of morality, and it's fading away. There's no longer a sense of moral right and wrong, everything requiring to be equally acceptable, few exceptions aside of course... Such as "nazis". Even the distinction between mom and dad, men and women, is fading away... And in the end, if everything is pretty much equal to anything, if there's no sense of hierarchy for the sake of equality, what do you get? You get moral nihilism.

And what are millenials? They are a product of that moral nihilism, they are lost.
