I just. I don’t like this view of “millennials vs Gen Z”. This is NOT supposed to be a competition of who got fucked over the most and who’s “actually fighting back”.
Millennials are fighting back just by surviving in a job market where the minimum wage doesn’t cover the living cost. Millennials are awesome at “killing” the diamond, golfing and napkins industries. Millennials are using the internet to make sure things that corporations want to keep in the dark are exposed. They’re open LGBTQIA-friendly business, they’re supporting each other with online donations so everyone can survive this shitty economy.
And the Gen Z kids? The Gen Z kids are rad. I remember a post about something like the millennials making a collective promise to never become a disenchanted generation that only criticizes the next one and I want to point out that this “millennials vs gen z” trend is trying to do exactly that: split us apart. Prevent millennials from being the older siblings that teach the younger siblings to throw a good punch and turn them into the annoyed adult complaining about “those kids” on their lawn. We are the two groups that grew in a connected world of information. We are two very unique generations.
I think that it’s our duty for us millennials, as a disrespected, underpaid, very angry generation to stand up by our younger siblings, and fight together the oppressive systems that brought us all to this point.
They’re trying very hard to pit Millennials and Gen Z against each other because I honestly think they’re terrified of what the two will accomplish together.
Trump using textbook #DARVO sexual predator moves.
Get this: Trump is the victim! Of course. The lifelong chronic sexual predator and ‘grab them by the pussy’ self-admitted criminal is saying the VICTIMS of sexual abuse are the enemy. This is poison straight from Russia.
I heard Rubio say Trump’s decades of tax fraud was because tax codes are confusing. Trump is the victim, yet again.
“I don’t have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. So I want you to pledge to vote now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the mirror. Look at yourself, and say this aloud ‘I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE! I WILL VOTE REPUBLICANS OUT!’ See you on November 6th!
To every single one of my friends who are feeling devastated or
furious about today’s confirmation of a multiple incident attempted rapist and
sexual predator to the United States Supreme Court: DO NOT DESPAIR. Stay angry.
Stay pissed off. And keep your fighting spirit.
Today, the Republican Party under the leadership of Mitch
McConnell showed us that they hate everyone who is not a rich, straight, white
male of the landed aristocracy in this country. They showed us that to them, we
citizens are nothing more than specks of dust beneath their shoes. They showed
us that they do not care a single flick about the #MeToo movement that has made
simultaneously so many and so few gains for women and sexual assault/harassment
survivors.
McConnell and the Republican Party think that they’ve won a
victory for at least 35 years with this reshaping of the Supreme Court. But we
will prove them wrong. We will make them rue the day that they wrote off every
single woman and oppressed person in this country. They believe that they will
maintain themselves and their power for time immemorial.
But all they have done is set fire to heated and dry kindling.
They have begun a wildfire of furor and anger against the landed aristocracy of
this country, and that wildfire is headed to a volcano. And as soon as that
volcano erupts, we will make every single one of those jackasses pay. We will
make them feel the same fear and oppression we have felt for generations and
continue to do so now.
History has showed us that when all is said and done,
reactionary and conservative thinking always fails. It failed when Dred Scott
v. Sanford was overturned by the 13th and 14th Amendments. It failed when
Plessey v. Ferguson was overturned by Brown v. Board of Education. It failed
when Korematsu v. United States was overturned by Trump v. Hawaii. It failed
when Bowers v. Hardwick was overturned by Lawrence v. Texas. It failed when
Baker v. Nelson was overturned by Obergefell v. Hodges.
This victory that the right wing believes they won today is but
a Pyrrhic victory, for we are coming. And we are coming with the rage,
frustration, furor, anger, and flame of Mt. St. Helens onto the right wing. We
will not allow every meager victory won in the last six decades to be
destroyed. We will not stand by as every single constitutional norm and
tradition is blown up. And we will not stand by as our so-called
“leaders” kowtow before a wannabe dictator. We are coming. And we
will take you down, one by one. Brick by brick, we will destroy this patriarchal,
misogynistic, and medieval system that the right wing has built.
So Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins, Mitch McConnell, Tom Cotton, Ben
Sasse, Steve Daines, Shelly Moore Capito, and John Cornyn and every other
supporter of this attempted rapist: We are coming for you. We will trample your
attempts to return us back to the Gilded Age. We will take you over. History’s
lessons are clear: Those who look forward will always come out victorious.
Those who look backward will always be left in the dust.
Beware the volcano, GOP, for you will no longer be able to
escape it.
Funny how we regularly turn down job applications for law student internships for having a typo in their cover letters but having three different women publicly accuse you of sexual assault doesn’t stop you from being hired for the highest possible legal job in the country
