The really rebellious thing is to chill the heck out. We need to convince everyone to take the grill pill. https://t.co/yuEVgwXjT0

Constructive political action doesn't mean being neurotic, it often means not being neurotic. Don't let some silicon valley algos and cable news mislead you into thinking otherwise. https://t.co/MGVuYzgqYv

AOC is 31. Aside from kings and dictators, who has her level of influence at 31? Typically no one has that much power til 40 at least aside from Alexander the Great - when do you think it's been different? What makes Zuck a millennial and Jack Gen-X in terms of style, being 7 years difference? What's difference between Zuck, Jack, founder of AirBnB, founder of Uber, founder of Bitcoin, founder of whatever new and trendy?

In reply to Zuck & Jack Dorsey & Kanye

Kanye and Jack Dorsey are Generation X. AOC has nowhere near the power and influence of Nancy Pelosi or Joe Biden. Her story of waitressing after getting a degree epitomizes millenial struggle.

As for Zuck, that that much power and wealth would be concentrated in one millenial isn't good.

In reply to p.s. now sell them handguns..

Millenials don't have enough power and cultural capital to have created #metoo, cancel or outrage culture. It's something that got recycled from Baby Boomers and Gen X.

Tipper Gore, Parental Advisory Sticker, Dan Quayle, Ice T, "Cop Killer," Eminem, Liz Cheney, Clarence Thomas, Anita Hill, Newt Gingrich, Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, etc.

America is a gerontocracy, ruled by the very old just as if we were in Zimbabwe or Libya.

p.s. now sell them handguns..

On second thought, maybe they are pretty sure of something that hasn't totally sunk into my (pea?) brain: the millennial generation either loves to get outraged about everything and anything or loves to watch their peers doing so?

A Twitter mob came for @_pem_pem when they posted a photo of their parallel parking job. Here's what the trolls had to say and what the incident tells us about millennial rage and the ways social media has changed how we communicate https://t.co/nXwImDhYIw
