To understand why millennials hate you, you must understand capitalism. To understand capitalism, imagine being forced to play a game of Monopoly where one person starts with nearly all the money in the bank and all the properties… and what about you? Fuck you, that’s what.
@aral 1) you dont speak for a generation, and 2) this is senseless drivel.
@fm
And do you have the same stats for people below ... Say 35?
Also, you state that for wealthy people. Nice but it seems to me like the following:
Of all people who won the lottery, more than 70% paid 5[insert currency name here] for a ticket. To bee meaningful, you would need to add the percentage of the population sait wealthy people represent.
@aral
@fm
We seem to agree on facts then.
So if you are young now, you get worse education than the earlier generation. Since property is something you either acquire or inherit, you did not inherit and, because of education deficit have a lot less opportunity to acquire.
Seems a lot like @aral 's original message. Maybe with less monopoly imagery and profanity.
@aral
@aral in addition to that, there is a huge and unfair factor of luck. The question is, if you ever found a huge source of gold, how much would you take and what would you do with it.
@aral Capitalism consists of a number of fundamentally false assumptions (infinite growth of the world economy, everyone can get rich, etc) and their PR tries to cover that up with lies.
No! Believe in yourself and give everything! You can do it!
@aral There was a conversation at a local board game group with plenty of them saying they don't want to play with someone who'll play Monopoly. And these are people desperate to play board games!
I have to concur...
@aral
I honestly don't understand the connection between the problem of uncontrolled capitalism and people born after the 1.1.2000 ! I doubt that there is one at all.
