It has been my observation that millennials have an active disdain for the social contract. They do not want kids. Many of them admonish religion, and even forego spirituality. Many of them don't believe in marriage, and of course, they are the main ones pushing the troon agenda, even onto kids. I'm saying all this in terms of averages, I'm sure there are based millennials out there
Apologies for the TED talk in response, but I feel like it would be a good idea to break this part down and give you some of the “why” for this.
The disdain for the social contract comes from the fact that it was broken. Millennials did in fact suffer a bit of a rugpull. The economy going into recession, the shipping of jobs overseas, these things were preventable but no one seemed to care about stopping it from the older crowd, who had pension plans, retirement funds and the like protecting them financially. More contract breaks below.
Several do not want kids because upon reaching young adulthood, they look at how their parents act
then, not through the rose-tinted glasses of childhood. The ones with decent parents went on to have kids 100%, the ones with shit parents are split leaning towards not. A fair number of the boomer parents backstabbed their children on the false premise of “making you grow up”. Boomers are the highest population generation in America, so a “fair number” is still a lot of people.
Millennials grew up during the Christian Fundamentalist movement. This led to having to deal with adults losing their minds over Jigglypuff existing, being judged for video games and music (yet again), along with a
lot of constraints as parents would virtue signal over how “Christian my house is”. Odd thing is, the parents of the millennials didn’t have to put up with this growing up and could do whatever they wanted in relatively speaking. Millennials were keenly aware of this. Noting open hypocrisy like this for decades leads to a lot of faithlessness. “I had freedom growing up but you need to be constrained for JESUS!” always drives people away later in life.
Marriage involves being able to trust someone with your life. You expect a generation that was being blasted by their families and communities over nothing, is currently the foot soldiers for cancel culture blue to be living they’ll lose employment if they don’t rat their friends out for wrongthink, and is forced to walk on eggshells if they don’t want to be in a struggle session for being “problematic” to take a risk to trust someone?
The troon agenda thing is coming from the full stack. Millennials aren’t the doctors that approved of this via council, they’re the doctors that take the quick money afterwards. Don’t look at the rotten apple that fell onto your head, look at the tree.
If it seems like I’m describing a jaded bunch of people that have mostly given up, it’s because I kinda am. You have some that are still raging to try to get out of the hole, some that have given up, and the hyper progressive squad that is willing to frontline the psychotic bullshit you’ve been seeing because it actually does pay enough to scrape by and gives a dopamine hit via praise from peers.
