Entire generations are members of oppressed groups now? You can't paint Millennials as being some kind of victim group that is, on balance, worse off as a result of policies while still insisting that these policies merely redistribute benefits within the population. For Millennials as a whole to be worse off, you must be talking about policies that, as a whole, provide a net benefit or cost to society. Hence the contraditictions. And in particular if you believe generation X+1 is more diverse than generation X, it requires deep schizophrenia so simultaneously claim that life is better for more diverse groups and yet generation X+1 is worse off. =

Do you actually believe these issues and all those factors vanished in thin air once the leaders of those civic movements were assassinated? It's simply not possible to come up with any remotely rational argument about these deep social problems plaguing the US that involves any type of denialism.
