a sense of entitlement the young now seem to have in abundance compared to their predecessors
Millenials Are Killing the War Crime Industry
A sense of entitlement
Whine the people who demand that others fight and kill for their wealth.
I don’t understand Britain. Why is their anthem/motto “god save the queen/king”? That sounds pathetic lol. Like they’re on the verge of defeat already.
"oh dear god please save the queen we're so fucked oh god no AAAAAAAH"
"god save the king, because we sure as hell won't"
Generally it helps to have hope for a future or at least some kind of stability to fight for. Not just "the same shit but it gets a little bit worse every year."
Probably would help. But what do I know?
We are trapped in the machine and the machine is bleeding to death and I sure as fuck ain't gonna die to staunch the bleeding
kicking the machine from the inside and yelling at it to hurry up and die
Wait whose tyranny are we checking here? The tyranny of the rotting post-empires trying to expand the dominion of their nuclear gangster state? That wants to send their children to die in Russia for the glory of finding new markets for capitalism.
Take Britain in Particular: what the hell has this country ever done for young people? Starting in 2010 Britain has been speedrunning throwing every all the things that made it worthwhile (and Britons were richer than Americans in 2007), and Brexit was a huge middle finger to young people. Turns out the big dream of UK ‘patriots’ is to replicate any random flyover red state in the US.
IIRC, Britain under the Tories has just done what the US is doing: treating the young like second class citizens who’s opinions don’t matter and what do you know, the country looks and acts like a retirement home.
I think that if brexit was done by somebody like Corbyn, then it could've been a good thing. It could've allowed UK to do a lot of nationalization of the core industries and pass socialist policies that wouldn't be allowed by the EU neoliberal policies. Unfortunately, it was done by ghouls who used it as an opportunity to do a massive wealth transfer to the top.

What are they going to do, write angry letters?
Countries that are part of EU have to comply with EU regulations, and those have a significant impact on domestic economic policies.
I'm suggesting simply not complying with EU regulations and seeing how long it takes to get kicked out.
Sure, that would be a different way to exit, and probably a smarter one to be honest. Cause you could keep leveraging EU trade agreements until they cut you off, while flaunting the rules. That would make the transition a lot smoother than cutting yourself off the way UK did.
Britons were richer than Americans in 2007
That doesn't sound right
Like it's theoretically possible but not indicative of anything
Correct. I ain't going to die to prop up the interests of the US empire or their cucked vassal states. Eat my shit.
Oooh, but you're so entitled! SMH. Just another selfish and self-centered youth, spoiled really to not be willing to go die such a noble death for your betters. The people who want to send you to that death so they can maintain their stranglehold on the working class all over the globe, they aren't being "entitled," no. They're the adults in the room ensuring the Rules-Based International Order. Just because that may translate to more yachts for them and their friends, the Captains of Industry is beside the point. The Captains are certainly not entitled either. And clearly that's reality, because this definitely not entitled "Journalist" is saying it how it is.
when ukraine's own army inevitably collapses eu residents may one day wake up to the sight of conscription vans in their neighborhoods
I hope so. Europeans need to be crushed so they won't be a threat to the civilized world
a sense of entitlement the young now seem to have in abundance compared to their predecessors
well, all the material entitlements have been cut so the young are trying to get by with memory and vibes. 40 years of telling them they must "do more with less" and now you're mad they're doing it?
