    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”?
