Millennials are bad enough as it is; but how in the hell will America survive once a generation raised by Millennials replaces us.

These kids are even being told they need a "safe space" from freaking Humpty Dumpty - how will a generation like this ever be able to survive in the workforce, let alone serve in the military or in any position of influence?

The reproduction rate for Millennials is pretty low. We’re not even replacing ourselves in the United States. But that’s not the worst news for the future. The worst news is that the children we are having are … well, they’re awful. Meet Generation Z. Weep for the future:

Today’s children are growing up in a very different world, where technology is ubiquitous, materialism is rampant and “happiness” is the ultimate goal, to be pursued at all costs. It’s a world where many schools no longer have an “F” (for fail) grade, preferring to use the less confrontational “E”; all layers of pass-the-parcel have a prize and parents demand all kids in an athletics carnival be given ribbons. The BBC even rewrote the children’s classic Humpty Dumpty, so he could be put back together again, lest the littlies be upset.

Millennials are regularly faulted for being self-centered, lazy do-nothings who still live with their parents. But according to the data that’s now pouring in, Generation Z is far worse. Oof. Generation Z wasn’t introduced to electronics in high school. They were born with iPads in their hands. They grew up on streaming video and computer games. They have never been subjected to discipline or the harsh traumas of a little thing called reality. And Generation Z may very well be the generation that shepherds the United States off the edge of the cliff. But what do we do about it?

First, weep. And then, if you’re of childrearing years, have children and raise them well. If you don’t know how, ask your grandparents. My wife and I have five children growing up in a tight knit, four-generation community. People occasionally remark that maybe my wife and I are overdoing it. We always say, with as much patience as we can muster, that we are doing our best to raise quality people.1 Because God knows no matter how many children are being born into the world right now, far too few of them are being trained to be decent human beings.

Trough pain.

Pain forges character.

After living becomes a total unbearable pain in the ass a new great generation will rise.

These aren't children of Millenials, who would have been around 10 when earliest of Gen Z was born. These are mostly the children of Gen X.

That said. They still suck.

It's the first of this generation that seems to be behind the crazed campus safe space/protest everything crap too. Being born in the late 90s corresponds to being an undergraduate now. What's described in the article sounds in line with the irrational demands one hears from students to have their precious feelings given priority in all cases.

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers." - Socrates

Nothing new under the sun. Given that we have survived the worst generation ever in my opinion (Boomers), we can survive Generation Z.

The good thing is that with all the younger generations being huge pussies/fags there will be a saturation of young cooze looking for a "real man" when a lot of us on here are older.

Here's something to keep in mind. I'm currently at a very well known private university's grad program, and i've had to work with the undergraduate side of the program on a number of projects. what I've noticed is that their generation is, as is almost everything in America these days, an inverse bellcurves. You see a HUGE number of them are are skinny jean wearing and effeminate, but these is also a substantially sized cohort who are extremely intelligent, well spoken, and ruthlessly opportunistic. These are the guys who are going to clean up because they have that ability to think beyond the ends of their dicks( and hurt feelings), and they are going to ruthlessly exploit the idiots beneath them.

Want an example of what I'm talking about?

Quote:MILLENIALS ARE BEING CONNED BY CULT LIKE TECH COMPANIES

HubSpot comes across as a kind of kindergarten cult that plies its young charges with parties, toys, naps, playtime — and not much pay. A huge chunk of potential compensation at tech startups comes in the form of stock options, which could turn out to be worth nothing but are certainly worth nothing if employees get so burned out that they leave before the options vest.

This is part of the plan. Tech firms basically operate like South African gold-mining operations, with confident young Tame Impala fans being the bodies thrown into the pit to break their backs digging up nuggets. All of the IPO gold, though, goes straight into the pockets of their masters topside.

What matters is “scale,” which you create by hiring people right out of college and making work seem fun. Give them foosball and beer, plus cultishly reinforced propaganda oozing with blather about how “you can make the world a better place” and you will secure, Lyons writes, “an endless supply of bros who will toil away in the spider-monkey room, under constant, tremendous, psychological pressure, for $35,000 a year. You can save even more money by packing these people into cavernous rooms, shoulder to shoulder, as densely as you can. You tell them you’re doing this not because you want to save on office space but because this is how their generation likes to work.”

That's what we've created. A vast majority of millenials who have been conditioned into the perfect wage slave, and a smaller number of those with the right "prestige" background and connections to be their masters.

It'll be a bottleneck. I intend my children to get through it and conquer the future.

Historically ignorant people love that quote.

History begins with grandpa, and then there's this caveman who said this thing in a book I've never read. Grandpa just never learns!

Would you be shaking your head so wisely if he had said that as a Byzantine citizen in the year 1450?
Or as a Roman in 470?

I am sure this is a good article, but I am getting really tired of trashing other generations or having mine trashed.

It seems like when the economy collapses, and the last drop of oil is burned, and the meteor we all knew was coming knocks our Ebola riddled corn syrup obese bodies right off the planet, as we hurtle into space, our last conscious memory will be training a scowl on someone older or younger than us, and feeling that little dopamine rush of superiority before we lose consciousness.

We are experiencing tough times. We are all in this together. Any chance we could pool resources and figure this shit out?

I don't believe in any of these kinds of threads, because none of it is apparent in my day to day life.
If people participate in their community, get to know all their neighbors, and have a close circle of friends, none of this doom and gloom bullshit would seem real.
I know my community has my back, and I will back them. We see a problem crop up, we go deal with it, because it is a threat to the whole. Our cops live in town, we know them, they know us, we know who our firefighters our, who is in our local EMS squads, and who cooks the food at the hospital.
We know the mailman, and the garbage men, and we appreciate the services they provide to our community, and even though it's against "regulations" we show them appreciation as well, like Christmas gifts or free beer if we see them.

Stop looking out at the whole world as falling apart, and shore up what actually affects you locally, it might help your outlook on the world.

edit; Times aren't tough if you are part of a self-supporting circle.

Congrats, buddy, you've participated in the most mindless form of status signalling other than buying an iphone: bashing on the new generation.

Crotchety old windbags have been blowharding about how the young are going to send the world to the dogs ever since the young have been around.

I look forward to your future posts telling us how the movie Idiocracy is the most incisive satire of the 21st century.

It's great: while there are admittedly few girls in the classes I'm taking, I can just waltz up to one of them unshaven and dressed like a hobo while some skinny jeans wearing poof is already talking to her and start hitting on her. The girl's attention is focused on me 100% and the guy just slinks away. The men on campus are such wimps that I'm striding around the place like a Roman emperor.

How is the fat hambeast with purple hair a girl? She says she is happy to be a girl, but that disgusting thing with the noise ring should not be allowed to have any more kids.

Hmmm, I am generally a very positive and supportive person if you have read some of my other posts, but when it comes to figuring this problem out, I highly doubt it. As far as the weakness in each successive generation. Generally, each generation is led by its men. And sadly, each generation of men seem weaker than the one before. Thus, the ability to lead is diminished.

It sounds very harsh but it isn't meant to be mean, just honest. Those that find RVF are probably the stronger men of their generation, but if you happen to be a Millenial, are you not disgusted by most men you meet of your generation? Like the guy who has sympathy menstrual pains for his roommate who is at best 4.5? When people become pathetic for such low rewards (he isn't going to be able to bang even that ugly cum dumpster) and still CANNOT get those low rewards or who has no pride to aim for better, well it seems like there is no hope.

However, for those who remain strong, you shine above your male peers and you will reap the rewards for not being a total embarrassment to the Y chromosome.

Edit: The other issue is shame and pride. Allow me to try and connect the dots. We currently live in a society where everyone wants to feel good about themselves, where nothing is bad. While excessive shaming is bad, shaming someone used to be a tool to motivate an individual to try harder. Pride (not hubris/narcissism that is running wild these days) means that you put in the extra effort to do a good job. Also it set some boundaries, but now no one wants to be told anything.

Losing meant that you learned some humility, not an opportunity to whine about what was unfair. These tools of development have been set aside for the tools of constant positive reinforcement, no valedictorians and participation awards. How will a society grow and thrive with that? Partly because in a large country like the US (just using it as an example) there is always a small percentage of people pushing themselves, trying to create value. Then you have the Bernie Supporters.

How much hope do you have when people think having pets is the same as having babies? Where they treat animals better than they treat humans (i.e. dogs in baby carriages http://i.imgur.com/n85ww75.png)

Unless, there is a massive change in how children are raised and how people treat one another, it will just get worse.

That poor little girl is going to be so fucked up later on. In my early 20's I was banging this chick (met off yahoo chat, remember that shit?) and she wanted me to do the most deranged stuff to her, though thinking back now it was just being awakened to the weird shit girls want done to them, and her father was a post-op tranny. She introduced me to her older sister who did cam stuff and wanted to do gangbangs while her boyfriend watched.

I'm glad I moved away to a small town in the mountains.

Some childless feminists are doing their part in dismantling society by raising their cats to be transgender. No surprise, the Washington Post paid for an article about this.

Gen Z here. My generation is a bunch of pussies who've been brainwashed into thinking trannies constitute the new normal, a closed border is racist, and that a 140 character tweet is a valid source of news. We need to institute a draft ASAP to whip these losers into shape...they've never known poverty, struggle, war, etc. like Gen X and the generations before them have

In the Millennial's defense, the majority of Boomers and Gen X'ers didn't know these things either. I had a very hard time identifing with my generation: I was impassioned, committed and disciplined. 'Whatever' wasn't in my vocabulary.

I suspect it's behaviour of the middle and upper class children who define what a generation is.

That's a good point. The poor and lazy will remain poor and lazy; their culture will transcend generations

I didn't think of it that way, but, damned if you aren't right.

I have some mates who live in Housing Commision areas (think Projects). They might have a flat screen television and a mobile phone, but it's fundamentally indistinguishable from my 70's childhood: old furniture from a charity shop; nothing ever matches; cars are up on blocks in the yard; everything is run down and shabby; people vanish in and out of incarceration; the front yard functions as a living room; hubcaps are a valued currency; families are tribal and will fight to the death against those who threaten them; 'snitches get stitches'.

It's completely-frozen in time. Academia notions of White Privilege and Gender Fluidity will never take hold down there. Poverty really is a Secret Nation within a Nation.
