> I think the hostility is more about how the problems millennials face now are man made problems previous generations didn't have to face The GP is bitching about a potential war between the US and China, and conveniently ignores the actual wars that the Boomers were conscripted to fight (Vietnam) and the generation before them (WWII, Korea) and the generation before them (WWI). If those wars aren't classed as 'man-made problems' and the young being sent to die for the old, then what's the point of discussing further? As for job mobility being drastically down, that's looking at the past with rose-coloured glasses. We may have passed the peak of job mobility, but it's far more labile now than it was in the 60/70s and earlier, especially if you're female. The fact that you can job-hop these days is proof of this. The only way millenials have it worse than 'previous generations' is if they're completely ignoring how previous generations actually had it. Hey, you know what I hate? I hate how every week I have to get down on my hands and knees and manually polish the floorboards with wax, so they last longer. Oh, hang on, I didn't do that, that was my grandmother. She was a bit of a clean-freak, but the point is that 'maintaining the floor' used to be a thing, now no-one thinks of it beyond a bit of a vacuum. It's stuff like this that the millenial "we have it sooooooooooo hard!" complaints completely ignore.
