[QUOTE="berserker2001, post: 1447099, member: 18233"] An addendum to my above rant, I think it’s noteworthy that Millenials seem to be maybe the first or at least of a rare group of generations that was judged prematurely before adulthood. Not only are most generations given until at least adulthood for sweeping judgement, but often their successes are over-exaggerated as if they had little flaws (I’d assume in the spirit of patriotism and enduring American exceptionalism up until recently). By contrast, I am at the middle-to-older end of Millenials, and from about age 8 I can remember older people already eager to smear us as “soft”, “lazy”, “coddled” etc. The older generations were very eager to throw us all in a trench and stick a label on top, to make us an easy excuse, to make us a “fall guy”. I assume this is from 1) their collective fear that America had reached it’s high-water mark and American optimism was waning (life being better for your kids than it was for your generation), and 2) technology accelerating at such a rate that they knew the Millenials would render their generations anachronistic earlier than most. Therefore, from a mass psychology perspective, it is as if the Boomer’s and Gen-X’ers have a collective defense mechanism of psychological deflection where, not only without merit but even before Millenials had ability to develop merit, they attempted to create a self-fulfilling prophecy in order to frame the Millenials as the “real culprits” for varying societal dilemmas. To quote another thread post, “Don’t blame the drug dealers- blame the drug addicts!” This all being said, I think it’s important for Millenials to do 3 things: 1) continually call out the deflections, projections, and outright lies of the elder generations, 2) call it upon our fellow Millenials to courageously take up our cross and let Jesus guide our way, and 3) never slander younger generations as was done to ours. Rather, we should support and promote the Zoomers and subsequent generations instead of run them through the mud. [/QUOTE]
