The "Greatest Generation" lived in a depression.
Shit like that scared the hell out of them and they worked their asses off.
Boomers got the benefit.
Millennials thought that prosperity just come natural, cuz boomers got from GG.

Capitalism

It's funny how unaware of their situation these people are. They used to have a word for this living arrangement in the 1800's. It was called a 'work house' where people lived like this to send money to the countryside for their families and education.

thats a homeless shelter

imagine the smell

What do you base this off of?

because boomers fucked off with post ww2 money and let inflation run rampant while infrastructure and social institutions fell apart.

You mean, globalism.

Those beds desperately need curtains for privacy. And to answer your question, from my point of view, property in work-viable areas is more expensive now, houses are being built without backyards (lower quality of life), and I suppose it was easier to set up a business or get your foot in the door back in the day. I noticed my grandparents bought my mother a house, but my mother did not buy me one. Boomer's seem to be more or less self centred and immature, irreligious etc in comparison. Though some Millenials still do get the kushy life because of their parents.

The Refugee thing in your propaganda piece... that's deceptive.
In the 1950s, Refugees were whites of good character displaced by war or communism; e.g. from Warsaw pact countries who escaped.
And welfare and government handouts were viewed with great disdain. No way would they accept Warren, Sanders or AOC and their unconstitutional hand outs.

Lol

Globalism and capitalism are the same thing

This is why the anticapitalists are globalists.

>he doesn't know about the flags

pressure by immigrants, working women, decline of the security net of the family. in one word: jews

You won't believe it, I tried to stay in one of these places and some hippy-dippy broad and her black lesbian girlfriend beat me in the middle of the night and stole my bed, I went to the manager and all they did was call me a cracker and tell me "your kind isn't allowed here" - now I have to pay reparations to women as part of my rent...

No, that costs 1500 usd a month, it's in California or some shit

Looks like prison.

no patience to accrue wealth over decades as every other generation had to do

Gen X was/IS the first generation to live worse than their parents. Its all down hill from here fucker.

The only ones who ever "worked" on this country on the founders and west explorers everyone after that has been coasting

Because boomers wanted cheap labor so they voted time and time again to import third world shitskins.

Globalism isn’t woven into the capitalism like it is with Marxism there have been plenty of countries where capitalism has existed side by side with nationalism

I’d take burbs any day over that faggot shit

ah millennials...
we have
- no money
- no property
- no kids or family
- no future job prospects
- no identity we're allowed to love
- no tradition or religion
- no useful skills or network
- no real life experience (I've seen my fellow 30 year olds cry when getting yelled at by their bosses)

we DO have
- unbearable debt
- useless education

>$1500/month for less space than a prison cell

Yeah you might as well get arrested and live better.

I am a member of the poorest generation since those who came of age during the Great Depression. Born to the “end of history,” we watched the ecstatic growth of the Clinton years morph seamlessly into the New Normal of Bush and Obama.

We have no hope of doing better than our parents did, by almost any measure. We have inherited an economy in secular stagnation, a ruined environment on the verge of collapse, a political system created by and for the wealthy, skyrocketing inequality, and an emotionally devastating, hyper-atomized culture of pyrrhic consumption.

The most recent economic collapse has hit us the hardest. According to a study by the Pew Research Center, the median net worth of people under 35 fell 55 percent between 2005 and 2009, while those over 65 lost only a fraction as much, around 6 percent[iv]. The result is that if you calculate debt alongside income, wealth inequality is today increasingly generational. Those over 65 hold a median net worth of $170,494, an increase from 1984 of 42 percent. Meanwhile, the median net worth of those under 35 has fallen 68 percent over the same period, leaving young people today with a median worth of only $3,662[v].

Despite cultural narratives of laziness and entitlement, this differential is not due to lack of effort or education (my generation is the most educated, as well, and works some of the longest hours for the least pay). The same Pew Study notes that older white Americans have simply been the beneficiaries of good timing. They were raised in an era of cheap housing and education, massive state welfare and unprecedented economic ascent following the creative destruction of two world wars and a depression—wars and crises that they themselves didn’t have to live through.

Because boomers followed the jews into a hell on earth.

And the jobs that older Americans hold are not being passed down to us, though their debt is. When they retire, the few remaining secure, living wage and often unionized positions will be eliminated, their components dispersed into three or four different unskilled functions performed by part-time service workers. The entirety of the job growth that has come since the “recovery” began has been in low-wage, temporary or highly precarious jobs, which exist alongside a permanently heightened unemployment rate.

In the long term, this means that, after having been roundly robbed in almost every respect by our parents’ generation, our own future holds nothing more than the hope that we might be employed in two or three separate part-time, no-promotion positions in the few growth sectors, such as healthcare, where we can have the privilege of being paid minimum wage to wipe the asses of the generation that robbed us.

It is no coincidence, then, that every time we hear a fucking baby boomer explain how we’re so entitled, and how they worked summers to pay for college, we contemplate whether or not disemboweling them and selling their organs on the booming black market might be the only way to pay back our student loans.

Pretending that power does not exist directly serves those who presently hold it. And the riot overturns such pretense by exerting our own power against theirs. It is a mechanism whereby we both scare the rich and attract people to a project that goes far beyond the reform of a collapsing world. In this particular instance, it has worked. Many of the fast food workers with whom I organized in the year following the riot understood its portent perfectly well. By May Day 2013, the riot had taken on a life of its own.

The riot, then, is not a hindrance to “real” struggle or a well-intentioned accident where people’s “understandable” anger gets “out of control.” Getting out of control is the point, which is precisely why the riot is the foundation from which any future worth the name must be built.

And we will be the ones to build it. Our generation: the millenials, generation fucked, or, as we’ve taken to calling it: Generation Zero. Zero because we’ve got nothing left except debt—but also nothing to lose. And zero because, like the riot, it all starts here.

In the end, then, you can lose the economics, you can lose the spectacle and the moralizing and the god-awful appeals to cute and fuzzy “social/racial/environmental justice.” Throw all of this in the alembic of the riot, and it boils down to the simplest of propositions:

Our future’s already been looted. It’s time to loot back.

Man, I need some socialism in my life right now.

Did not read.

I thought this was some kind of meme when I first saw it. This is the actual most Jewish thing I've seen since that Congressional hearing on campus antisemitism from 2 years ago. Absolute kike wet dream. Childless multicultural goyim cattle with no privacy paying you to live in sardine-tier conditions in a converted warehouse. I unironically hope they all get typhus.

Jews.

GenX son of beat generation parents who lived through the depression, and this is the absolute truth. Raise economic spartans who were lucky not to starve, put them through a war, then a period of sustained economic growth. Hell yeah their going to spoil their Boomer children. They may have been ungrateful shits, but they didn't treat victimhood as a virtue.

long live the millennial insurrection

Cry more. Get off the fucking internet and get a second job.

No you dumbass, it's because we've imported millions of low skilled workers to depress wages.

Easy to say that when your dad fucked children to get where he is today homo jew.

current capitalism

Imagine thinking it was better 50 years ago

States/counties/towns began to tax property heavily and based on sq ft. Then they zoned open land for only huge houses. What this did was create a large influx of taxes but also lowered the amount of residents in that area making utilities and services less strained.
For me I pay $700/mo for my house. $250 of that is monthly taxes alone. $140 of that is also home owners insurance every month.
If I didnt have to pay taxes or insurance my house would only be $310/mo.

Yea they did. Civil rights era and holohoax were just victimhood whining and boomers parents ate that shit up. Boomers too. Who fucking enabled all this victimhood shit thru policy? GenX and Millennials aren't in power, it's boomers.

Looks like a stable.

Suburbs west of Chicago. Many live around that shithole because there is tons of jobs here. This was also kinda an investment house, but since it is now 5x worth what I paid for it, I can deal with the taxes. With Illinois legalizing marijuana on Jan 1st 2020, it is going to value through the roof.

So they can buy as much avacodo toast as they want?
>thinks they dont spend 170k a year on drugs parties booze and weird shit off the internet.

How did that other cruiser not hear the gunshots immediately? Took him 10 seconds to stop after 10 shots or more.

He was blasting some Jay Z dawg!

Got it during last bubble crash. The key with Illinois property now is that with the legal marijuana coming it will be crash proof for housing prices.
We are going to have a huge influx from neighboring states, California (not happy on that), New York most likely as well. All want a house, and seeing how my house is like $800k+ from where they are coming from it is a golden investment to wait a year or 2.

I'd rather live in a stable with horses than this cuck prison. At least a stable has something akin to doors and the horses are probably better cell mates than these queers.

The driver of that cop car can't shoot for shit. 20 feet away and misses at least 3 times before the passenger finally hits the guy.

Guess Chicago will take anyone they can get.

Because central planning of an economy based on nothing

Is that like adult summer camp?

There is no single reason. The greatest proximate cause is probably compulsory indoctrination supplanting public education.

I think I've got it figured out, homo

because they spend all their money on avocado toast and $7 craft beers that they drink 10 of a night, then complain about how they cant afford rent in this third world country

probably because their floor is made of giant pennies. that's a surefire way to attract jews

you forgot your memeflag you fucking kike.

Because you're an adopted, unloved faggot.
Sage

Because women entered the workforce en masse in the 70s, thus cheapening labor and now requiring 2 people to earn what 1 once did.

Bitches sacrificed our well being for their fee fees. Typical.

>not directing your rage at the immigrants who take our jobs and destroy our social safety nets and (((international bankers))) who enable them all because they need the safety nets to crash in order to turn you ibto a slave and amass more wealth through less taxes
Fixed that for you bud. The fact that even pol doesn't aknowledge the rich as the biggest threat is beyond me.

I don't know Jano. The US government may be shit, but there are plenty of nice places in there. A lot of conservative strong christian fundamentalist communities that resist degeneracy and fight against it. Find something like that in Europe. We have no right, we are cattle, we are completely submissive to the state and the system. Our laws are the commands to slaves, not guides for free men. I'd like to move to the US and shape my own destiny, but not really the modern US completely bought by the corporate Jew, more like what the founding fathers intended. That was how it was really meant to be. A loose confederation of states in a union with their own laws, guiding their way of life, not sticking their asses into foreign nations. Individual rights, no nanny states. America sounds great on paper and there still are a lot of great places there, especially in the rurals.
