Yeah, but this kinda splits our generation from those I've met, between those that embrace marxism and those that become self-reliant, and how they world view.

I think the jobs situation is a root cause, with so much of the easily available work dead end and not paying enough to live independently. The entry level work that goes anywhere, has been gutted by H1b visas and downsizing to fewer roles doing more work. The challenge their is that few millennials will criticize that because the been brought up to believe that it would be racist.

I guess the challenge for most millennials is getting them to believe in valuing themselves and their work, and seeing the artificial expansion of the labor pool through guest worker and immigration programs as a attack on their future.

I think what fucks over our generation most is the cost of housing, which is a big step in becoming self-dependent.

A 20-something person getting their own place (meaning not renting) is pretty unrealistic (even in last 5 years, housing prices pretty much doubled here in Europe, while wages went up maybe by 10%).
