    Am I entitled because I believe that my assets should always increase in value year over year? That I should only see gains and never losses?

    No, it's the poors who wrong.

      And they can never answer how or why the asserts/investments rise? Like, it’s not a fucking law or physics. It comes from increases in exploitation, production etc.

      I never want to hear the words "the capitalist took on a risk" ever again, when they demand an entire generation live with mummy and daddy forever for porky. Who should never lose in his fancy gambling game.

      The bourgeoisie love welfare states, but for them. Just like how CHUDs believe in wealth redistribution, from "undesirables" to them. As usual, the bourgeoisie and CHUDs should be reminded that in their own ideology, that they need us but we don't need them.

    Sooooo

    Wanting houses to be cheaper so people can afford a home = entitled

    Expecting millennials and Zoomers to be homeless so you can hoard several homes you don't need because you're rich and can drive the prices up to be even richer = not entitled

    A Better Solution for Millennials

    Last November, CNBC interviewed a millennial journalist– living in expensive New York City– who paid off $102,000 in student debt in six years while working a job with a $40,000 salary. In the home stretch, she paid off the final $32,000 in eight months while paying the rest of her living expenses. She says she did it by sacrificing some personal time outside of work. Instead of loafing on the couch with Netflix or socializing, she took up side hustles. She did dog walking, cat sitting, babysitting, and freelance writing. Any millennial with ambitions to own a house shouldn’t be cheering for a housing market crash, even if one is imminent. They should be working as hard as they can so that they can save up to afford the house of their dreams in whatever market they find themselves.

      The less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt—your capital. The less you are, the less you express your life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life and the greater is the saving of your alienated being.

      The irony of calling millennials entitled and then writing this. Like what they’re saying is that millennials should sacrifice their personal enjoyment, work themselves to the bone, and save up enough money and then give that money to them, the author, who bought a house and wants the money from selling that house. They’re essentially saying that they want a to exploit a millennial by making them work like a dog and then taking their life savings, with enough class consciousness for the wealthy on top to advocate making that the norm for millennials. Is this what commodity fetishism is? Wanting exploitation while pretending it’s not you and just “the market”?

    When you root for the market to decline so you can afford a home, that’s entitlement, but when I root for the market to rise so I can grow my net worth, that’s just good business.

    As always it's projecting what they're waiting for onto whoever they don't like. The people who whine about entitled millennials are the ones who are also sitting on the vast majority of the wealth and when the housing bubble bursts they'll be the ones scooping up as much real estate as possible for cheap

      Not to mention that they feel entitled to special treatment because they are white men. They feel entitled to disrespect everyone else and no one should be allowed to insult them back.

      It's like a popular kid who fakes crying to get sympathy from the staff who are in on the bullying when the nerd blocks his punch and hits back.

    To be clear I am a millennial, I do own a house, and I do hope for a market crash. Yes I will "lose" lots of "money". But housing value does not matter unless you're are trying to buy or sell or flip or invest in housing. My housing costs don't change with market changes.

      I also am millennial and own house. While I don't think mine would lose a lot of value I hope the market fucking crashes hard so other people can afford a house.

          Yeah I expect it'll just be a changing of the guard with more housing being scooped up by fewer investors. You'll still be paying the exorbitant rents, the gains will go to the speculators.

    entitled

    I thought their entire ethos was that everyone is and should be purely self-interested

    • mittens [he/him]

      the obvious inverse is that boomers feel entitled to their retirement money which is tied to a speculative asset which may or may not crash in the future, but canadian government does answer to that entitlement by extending more and more credit, a spiral that surely will not have any consequence eventually (2008 has not happened in Canada yet)

        IIRC the canadian government was in the process of doing the equivalent of repealing Glass-Steagall when 2008 happened, so if it had just been a few more years you too would have been completely fucked.
