Hi everyone I hope you're all well so as I'm sure a lot of you are probably aware
I am currently in the USA on a Christmas holiday very very exciting but because
of that my regular content schedule is a little bit out of whack so what I have
for you today is a speech I did earlier in the year at the Friedman conference
which is a wonderful libertarian freedom focused conference held in Sydney every
year it is on of course one of my favorite topics Millennials so I hope
you all enjoy well hello everyone Western civilization that beautiful
mistress that miraculous entity forged in blood and aspiration that through
brawn and creativity has manifested this extraordinary society in which we are so
privileged to live Liberty personal autonomy democracy free speech religious
freedom the separation of church and state free-market capitalism the
emancipation of women the ability of every human being to thrive to pursue to
create to invent to live their very best lives as their very best selves free
from tyranny oligarchy or compulsory theological orthodoxy who the hell on
this planet wouldn't want to live in such a paradise of individualism well I
can give you one group who doesn't there are a class of people born between 1981
and about 1998 who subject to so-called helicopter parents and bestowed with
more privileges than any other generation ever have earned a reputation
for being difficult pessimistic and above all whiny they are over kids they
are over educated underemployed and afflicted with a deep and rather
worrying sense of nihilism despite a bounty of facilities bestowed upon them
by well West civilization colloquially known as
generation snowflake or generation I won't take an entry-level position
because mommy and daddy told me that I was special and unique I am talking of
course about Millennials Oh Millennials Oh what happened what went wrong how
could the most educated connect that connected generation ever who was raised
on the Simpsons and South Park turn into such a cynical bunch of hypersensitive
petals Millennials were once the great hope for Western Civ for the progression
of Western civilization but now bear with them an existential threat of a
great and very fortunate a very unfortunate pardon me regression of the
West both culturally and economically as such Millennials really are terrifying
they are a problem and while I am admittedly very harsh on my own
generation in fact I have made somewhat of a career of making fun of them I have
good reason for doing so the fact that the generation taking the reins of the
free world is advocating for less freedom rather than more freedom is of
genuine concern so let's have a look at Millennials who are they who hurt them
what do they want and are they destroying Western civilization or is
Western civilization destroying them now Millennials can be split into two
subcategories you've got Generation Y which is my half the vaguely sensible
half born from 1981 to about 1992 and then you have what you'd call the lower
Millennials which are the rest Millennials are as we know largely
left-wing and seem to be becoming increasingly that way as more and more
of them come through the state sanctioned socialist Empire otherwise
known as University in fact in 2017 in the UK just 27% of
voters aged 18 to 34 voted Tory whereas 59% of them supported Labour's
Jeremy Corbyn Australia is similar at the 2013 federal election about 60
percent of Millennials voted for the Labour Party I'm sure they're all very
disappointed now and in the USA it is the same story according to Pew Research
in 2017 55 percent of Millennials had held mostly or consistently left-wing
views as opposed to only 12 percent identifying as either mostly or
consistently conservative no mention of libertarians for some reason now this
would be okay if by left-wing they made there were simply proponents of fairness
and workers rights and personal freedom but it goes well beyond that according
to a survey by the Centre for independent studies in 2018 thank you
Tom Switzer 58 percent of Millennials favor socialism you know the greatest
ideological failure in human history which has consistently led to starvation
violence and death and has never ever ever ever ever worked ever every time it
has been tried
they like the idea of that not only that the sea is found that about 60 percent
of Millennials believe that capitalism has failed and that the government
should exercise more economic control this is despite the fact that they
tweets about the failings of capitalism from their smartphones and their laptops
while our sipping iced lattes and listening to their favorite tunes on
Spotify which are all products of capitalism the irony is strong needless
to say this is an intellectually lazy way to look at the world which brings me
to probably the single greatest problem with Millennials ignorance and not only
ignorance but a genuine unwillingness to seek out different opinions or to be
critical of the media what Millennials are ignorant of is that according to the
Heritage Foundation capitalism is actually the number one antidote to
global poverty and also the free of the economy the higher the standard of
living and also let's be fair they don't actually know what socialism is they
think it's what goes on in Scandinavia and anyone with a basic grasp of
economics and history or the ability to do a quick Google search will tell you
that it's not the case yet despite all of this readily available information
Millennials still swallow the lefty kool-aid spun to them by BuzzFeed
HuffPost The Guardian the ABC and above all else
whatever Zuckerberg and Co decide they are allowed to see on social media
platforms and now this brings me to what has really messed up Millennials beyond
anything else the Internet the internet that great lawless Wild West of
Technology is what is really responsible for the terrible anxieties cynicism and
general lack of critical thinking skills displayed by such a large chunk of
Millennials it is the echo chambers on social media where they relentlessly try
to out virtue each other that have spawned things like the victim
mentalities and identity politics and the complete misconception they have of
socialism now since all of this is done with zero face-to-face interaction
Millennials ability to community it has significantly deteriorated and
because everything looks worse in print getting into a really vicious argument
on the internet if it's really all part and parcel of a day's work and as such
everything even the smallest dispute for Millennials becomes a deeply personal
which is not very healthy and so it stands to reason therefore that a pack
mentality is formed which has led to things like third and fourth wave
feminism now insecure millennial women fostered by immature Generation X and
baby boomer child ladies bands together encourage resentment rather than
self-improvement and insist that every single problem they have is the fault of
the patriarchy they also unite under a hatred of a common enemy the straight
white man now this attitude is absolutely contra to the Western
enlightenment values of individualism and aspiration in favor of a sort of
Bolshevik style Machiavellian collectivism a regression from the West
if you will and truly a worrying one however if you thought this kind of
attitude was isolated to millennial women well you would be wrong
according to the General Social Survey in the USA there is a sharp decline in
sex amongst adults aged 18 to 29 so what you would call the lower Millennials and
this is contrary to every societal stigma you can imagine driven by young
men so the survey revealed that 23 percent of these lower Millennials
reported no sex in the past year which has gone up about 15 percent since 2008
male and female young people have gone for being roughly on par when it came to
celibacy to a full 28 percent of men aged between 18 to 29 reporting no sex
in the past year as opposed to only 18 percent of young women and while
celibacy amongst young women has gone up 8% since 2008 the amount of young men
not having sex has almost tripled since then going up 18 percent big big
disparity Seidner Generation Y's so my end of the Millennials is actually the
most sexually active of all generations with just with just seven percent
reporting celibacy so we're doing just fine now there are a number of factors
like say Netflix and video games that could contribute to this celibacy
amongst young men but they are symptomatic of certainly a larger
cultural problem third and fourth wave feminism depict young men as sexually
voracious predators who are black to blame for literally everything that is
wrong they are accused of perpetuating so-called
rape culture and risk being accused of sexual harassment simply for approaching
a girl in a bar now this is not entirely the fault of young women I mean they
have been fed a feminist lie so profound that they truly believe that all men are
rapists in waiting young men thanks to this cessful
of toxic femininity have lost all confidence in themselves and in women
and are just giving up which i think is incredibly sad and it has certainly
yielded some unhealthy consequences some of you may have heard of a philosophy
called mag tau for men going their own way it's actually pronounced MIG tau but
I think mag tau sounds better because MIG tau sounds like something the doctor
prescribes for an infection
anyway the philosophy of mag tau is simple they are men who are what you
would call confirmed bachelors men who turn away from the societal pressures of
relationships and women and in favor of a life of forging their own way and
chasing their own pursuits now this is a very justifiable push back against
militant feminism and I understand it and have no problem with it however
similar to feminism along with its good faith actors mag tau comes with a rather
toxic contingent of from my observation largely millennial men who used the
movement as an excuse to vent their anger and frustration at a sort of
gynocentric world and just like militant feminists hate and blame men mag tower
extremists gather in echo chambers on YouTube and read it including my youtube
channel blame all their misfortunes on feminism demonize women as a whole and
engage in what you would call old testament anti
misogyny they insist that all women and they do mean all women a gold dinging
whores whose only motivation in life is to strip men of their resources and
drain them emotionally they believe a woman having more than one or two sexual
partners lowers her overall worth as a human
being rendering her more like a used car than a person and that is an actual
analogy I have seen them use they believe that a woman's sole purpose is
to facilitate the needs of men and even believe that women should lose the right
to vote now needless to say this attitude flies right in the face of
Western valleys of the emancipation of women and free speech and personal
liberty and just generally not being a terrible person so it's interesting
these magton millennial extremists only seem to have this gripe with Western
women they have rejected Western values in favor of a regression into a sort of
medieval patriarchy where women are considered akin to property and
livestock and this I'm sure you would agree is of concern now in some ways it
is understandable why Millennials have rejected Western capitalism and
innovation the perpetual coddling they received growing up has made the concept
of doing any for them anything for themselves not only unappealing but
alien so of course they're drawn to this socialist Marxist anti Western ideology
that does everything for them individualism and enlightenment values
have been thrown out of the window for tacky easy intellectually lazy
collectivist thought where the success of one group depends on the downfall of
another rather than striving for success as individuals while helping each other
along the way now I'm fully aware that I've spent the last 12 or so minutes
ruthlessly bashing my generation and I have to be fair here Millennials do have
a lot of anxieties that are particular to them like lack of wage growth etc etc
so here's my message to all Millennials despite what you've been told by
activists in the media and your ridiculous university professors the
world really is yours for the taking if you choose to take it Western
civilization rather than being a for product of colonialism and racism
has done more to liberate the underprivileged around the world than
any other Society on the planet ever it is a privilege to live and operate
within it I know we have problems I know we are going to inherit chaos but as the
most educated connected generation ever we should be the most creative the most
innovative we should be the most positive about our future because we do
have the tools to fix it so if we can just stop complaining please for just
one minute and embrace the beautiful West's rather than rallying against it
we can actually make this change thank you if you like that video please
