Millennials who actually envy Boomers and want to be Boomers and feel robbed of the chance for the Boomer American Dream seriously piss me off more than actual Boomershttps://twitter.com/Nymphomachy/status/1313773683136180225 …

Millennials should aspire to have no kids and quietly dream about how even though it's not under their control and none of their business it'd be nice if Gen Z were the last human generation ever before the species dies out That's just me maybe but it's how I feel

That old Syfy show Ascension wasn't awesome but it had some compelling elements and one of the things I liked about it was the younger generation on the spaceship having this movement built around the idea the planet they were going to was uninhabitable and the mission was a lie

The whole Boomer vibe is this insistent unshakable faith that the institutions they were raised in and take for granted will go on forever into the future Capitalism, democracy, America itself Social Security checks coming in the mail It just seems so stupid to me

I know for a fact *your* future is a joke and a lie and will pop like a soap bubble -- in fact it already has and you won't admit it I don't know what future if any might replace it, and at this point I don't care "NO FUTURE" is a good enough motto for me

There is no space mission, we aren't going anywhere, we aren't *moving* This isn't a spaceship, there's no engine, we *never got off the ground* We're just sitting in this basement jerking off and playing pretend until we run out of food

And the sooner you really understand and accept that the sooner you can accept a life of drinking yourself into a stupor and avoid getting yourself killed in some war over trying to fly us all the way to a new world that's as far away as it ever was and probably doesn't exist
