    The fuck it is, we were students during 9/11 and watched our peers get fucked up and die in Iraq and Afghanistan for no reason. The conversion of SCOTUS to conservative and the godamn Patriot Act was already in place before most of us could even vote. The only millennials with the wealth to change anything are nepo babies with fascist dreams who never suffered when the economy collapsed, twice.

      Pretty sure there was a reason. The Cheney family fortune ballooned during those eight years. Nevermind the hedge fund sector. Hank Paulson made out like a bandit.

      The conversion of SCOTUS to conservative and the godamn Patriot Act was already in place before most of us could even vote.

      And then 20 years passed, and Millennials did what about it? Send JD Vance to the Senate? Put a trillion dollars into Bitcoin to gamble on rigged sports games? Spend half a career inflating the profits of Facebook and Palantir and the O&G industry or just straight up becoming cops?

      Because y’all never unionized. You never got over your fear of migrants or your love of Ring Cameras. You never even logged off Twitter.

      Millennials bought the poison pill of Boomerism without even getting the cheap homes or the good jobs.

      Millennials embraced fascism chasing the American Dream. And now here we are, with hundreds of thousands of you fuckers wearing ICE badges so you can cover your Cybertruck notes and credit card debts.
