Socialism Is The Fyre Festival Of Ideologies, And Stupid Millennials Are Falling For It Too
[TheBurningPlatform] Resolved: Millennials are the worst of all possible generations, and I say that as a baby-boomer (by a week). Unconvinced? Then check out one or both recent documentaries on Hulu and Netflix about their generation’s Woodstock, the infamous Fyre Festival, and watch how thousands of credulous millennials got suckered by social media "influencers" ‐ actors, rappers, models, whatevers ‐ who talked them into plunking down enormous wads of cash to attend a fabulous dream concert/party/rave in the Bahamas. The ads promised hot models frolicking, exciting musical acts like "Major Lazer" and whatever a "Migos" is, luxe accommodations, and gourmet food prepped by acclaimed chefs. What they got was drunken dudes and dudettes from the cargo shorts ’n backward cap set, no tunes, moist FEMA tents, and famously forlorn cheese sandwiches.

...And now these same knuckleheads are nodding their heads, jaws slack, in time with the beat of the rambling nonsense that they get from the tweets and videos of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Yeah, everyone who’s given socialism a spin in the last century has failed, at the cost of 100 million lives, but do you know who has the brains and savvy to pull it off this time and finally get it right?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

"Gosh, my generation couldn’t manage to make a week-long concert happen, but I think I’ll hand them the keys to remake all of society because reasons and Kardashians!"
