    Millennial here. Fuck this shit - our enemy is the ultra rich and shitstains that abuse power. Pitching generations against eachother is counterproductive.

    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 there in 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.

        I want my son to grow up in a world with so much oversight and regulation that he takes government protections for granted and dismantles them for tax breaks. Is that so much to ask?

    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.

    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.

      Agreed. I hate the whole generational divide that keeps being pushed by media outlets. There are so many overlapping generations occurring concurrently, that it is essentially a completely meaningless title.

    The kids aren’t alright—and neither are the millennials.

    Obligatory:

    But yeah. This is just a “most burned out generation so far…” thing.

    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.

    Turns out being part of a “sandwich” generation is not as tasty as the term implies.

        It was in the article, it refers to a generation who is burdened with caring for both their parents/grandparents and their children.

    My own personal idea to reduce burnout: democracy.

    People never shut up about how we supposedly live in a free democratic society and spend 40+ hours in a fucking facist dictatorship.

    Also if you don’t like your boss it should be legally permissible, even encouraged, to be able to hit them in the face once with a tire iron.
