I think the author mean to name that article "All young people are stupid and should be treated like children, and I hate all of them".
Are there a bunch of young people who are stupid? Absolutely. But you know what else? There's a shitload of older people that are just as stupid, if not more so. I think it's worse to be older and stupid, because in theory you should know more about how the world works at an older age.
Also, you guys talking about how stupid "millenials" are and how they are the future and we are in trouble...you're assuming that all of us "millenials" are going to stay stupid. Well let me ask you this...remember when you were young? I would be willing to bet that you would refer to your younger self as "dumb", correct? How easy it is to forget that smart people can do some dumb things, but they can learn from them.
And just an aside here...the derogatory generalization of a whole group of people, as well as the way that group of people thinks, is something that people on this forum get pretty up in arms about when it comes to gun owners. "A few bad apples don't spoil the bunch" you say. Well be consistent I would ask...don't automatically assume people are (insert adjective here) because they are a part of a certain group of people.
OT of the article though...I think younger people have different political views than older generations because alot of us are fed up with the choice between a "shit sandwich and a giant douche" (South Park reference...damn those millenials and their cartoons...). I think it's fantastic that younger people's political views are all over the board. Uninformed opinions are never helpful...and like I said earlier I would imagine there were just as many older people who judged our Great and Powerful Leader by the color of his skin instead of by the content of his character. But I think that the spread of political views across this demographic is going to be a good thing in the long run. Honestly if you older generations don't like it...it won't matter because you'll be dead and gone by the time we get to be your age.
