How come millenials seem to lack the drive that previous generations have? What makes them perfectly content to not get a job or to just work some part time McJob?
I'm not asking why they're so unsuccessful as a generation, I'm asking what is it that inheritly makes them worse than previous generations
Low T. At least 20% are weaker than their fathers.

Video games are fun.
Haha, git gud.

The rewards are different. Until the 80s any job meant a home, a family, and a middle-class lifestyle. Today even college-level jobs do not guarantee a home, family, or middle-class lifestyle.

Because everything our parents claimed was simple is so out of reach unless you're born into a family business.
Worst case you're born to parents who coddle you constantly and think the world still functions the same as it did when they were growing so they actually dissuaded you from getting a job in highschool or even caring about credit until you were past 21.
Eli Gray
Pretty much this. The world has changed, and it's resulted in demoralization for alot of youth.

millennials are the first generation of widespread divorced parents

I think now is the appropriate time to blame the boomers on this as well. >fuckingboomers.png
Xavier Perry
Aside from chemical warfare, the part where you turned 18 when it was time to fight a war against sandniggers and nobody had any jobs.
Angel Rogers
I can't speak for the rest of millenials, but I was falsely convicted of rape even though I'm a virgin. I can't get any job because of it. I have a legitimate reason, unlike the rest of the crowd, the system literally failed me.

>Even college level jobs don't guarantee a good life >MUH LIBERAL ARTS DEGREE THO Blame literally everything but your own lack of drive. If you wanted to be successful, you would be. You just want to lay around and mope a lot more. BLAME THE MAN instead of actually BECOMING the man. Betacuck snowflake millennial will never change, so long as they lack desire to become something more. The only thing millennials have done is bitch online. Some have been brave enough to go outside and carry a pre-printed generic sign while barking about retarded shit they know nothing about, just because it sounds good, like "common sense laws".. "Everyone is retarded but me and my friends :^)" You'll grow up eventually. It just sucks that life will have to kick you in the balls several times over before you get a fucking clue, kid. Still, I have faith in you. I have to. You're this planet's future after all. If you don't buckle down and get your shit together, everything is going to suck for everyone and their kids. We fucked up and instead of bitching about it, you should be fixing it... Hate us all you want, like it or not, but this is how things are.
Evan Rodriguez
Shitty parents make even shittier kids This has been going on for over 100 years

They were taught that they didn't need to compete and that everyone was equal in everything
Jonathan Gutierrez
No jobs.
Jackson Myers
Why work yourself to death for the bare minimum when you will never be as successful as your parents who's own success was less compared to the previous generation because the west is now completely jewed to pieces. All we have to look forward to more muds coming to the west and breeding on gibs, more liberal brainwashing of our children, more degeneracy and moral degradation and more mudslime terrorism. The only answer is a societal reset by famine, plague or war.
Daniel Edwards
Fags. Don't want kids. Pure consumers. Expendable.
Jaxon Harris
Too many requirements to be an applicant for most places. Community College in my state is $10k a year. I have no dreams that are worth that much. There better be some goddamn guaranteed employment if I'm spending half of my net wages on this shit.
Until then, I'll be working at Walmart like in have been for the past decade until my casket closes.
Asher Walker
Infinite entertainment. You have endless hours of Netflix and YouTube, thousands of games, each game better than the previous one, drugs, apps, porn, millennials got addicted to fast dopamine rewards these things give, when in real in life it takes years to achieve something, everything is dull and boring because achieving something takes tremendous effort, the brain doesn't know the difference, dopamine from real success and dopamine from virtual success is the same thing, and tell me which one is faster? We're doomed.

>>MUH LIBERAL ARTS DEGREE THO
You could get a job with the most worthless fucking degree back in the 70s straight out the gate. The game has changed, retard.
Benjamin Howard
Drive right? What's supposed to drive me to become better? I've watched one sibling get BTFOed by political correctness pursuing a STEM degree, I had my collage blow up in my face after they had divested me of my currency and the near decade of indentured servitude I endured to win it back and pay it off. The women are shit, the culture even more so, nothing I see out there reflects the values I hold dear, hard work for just reward? Ha I've been working for most of my life now and every turn and twist is designed to prevent advance and betterment, all of the stick none of the carrot.
Good life? Ha you mean that plastic materialistic bullshit that the dumb ones buy into, it's hollow, naught but ash and puffery.
A home? Ha unaffordable despite the fact that I can drive fore 10 mins and point to mile and miles of unclaimed, unused, and undeveloped land, MILES of the stuff, but the government or a bank say they own it and I can't have any to make a home of my own and employment is sparse to afford it anyway.
My wants are pretty simple, a good job with room to advance and better myself, room to build a home and good people to share and build my community with. All of that is a shadow of a hope now. I have no Nation, I have no Family, I have no Community but that which I find online, and I have no allegiances. I have all the drive you could want just nowhere to apply it and be-leave in what I'm doing.

Boomers expect millennials to work 60 hour weeks for a shit salary and bring a college degree and 5 years experience for that entry level position. Boomers were irresponsible financially, failed to save for retirement, created 2008 MBS crisis, raided social security, forced their children to borrow for college. Boomers are just mad we aren't playing their bullshit games.
John Bailey
Age war now! Gas the boomers!!
Benjamin Perry
>millenials What the fuck is a millennial? This word didn't exist until 5 years ago, people use it as an insult to people who are young that are into annoying trends, yet is also somehow extended to people in their late 20s and early 30s and gen X and Y dont exist anymore? Who fucking made this word?
Hudson Brooks
video games simulate accomplishment. little kids are allowed to play video games. men realize that the feeling of accomplishment is an illusion - the exact same feeling can be attained by shooting a virtual alien as can be had by finishing a project - only it's much much easier. women follow the men and bam - shit generation.
Isaac Powell
Stop buying avacado toast and enjoying things that bring pleasure to your life. Move out of your parenta basement and mortgage a house you cant afford and fill it with expensive furniture and finance that $60k car for 7 years oh and dont forget to pay off your $50k student loan at $600/month and since boomers fucked up social security and pension plans,s ave for retirement. You don't want to be working until you're 70 do you?
Ryan Carter
And people wonder why suicide is such a viable option. All the entertainment and plastic is just the skin that when you peel back reveals nowt but rot. If you do decide to remove yourself then remove some of the rot at the same time.

You've left off the classic "well your parents should have worked harder so you were born wealthy". I love that one.
Dominic Evans
That's gonna need an explanation, user.
Ethan Clark
Typical millennial, make excuses and blaming others for your shortcomings and failures. If you didnt spend so much money on avocado toast, you could pay your tuition, mortgage a house, and support a wife and 3 kids on your $30k/year salary.
everyone can afford a house a d a life if flyover States but everyone wants to live on the west coast or in big cities. move East dumb fucks.
Mason Kelly
I'm in a similar situation. Hopefully I won't break and go to work in China. I'd teach English in Korea before that.
Charles Jackson
This is what they are really complaining about. Millennials live with their parents and horde their wealth. I'm in a pretty good spot because I was able to live with my parents. (((They))) don't like that.
