The Lost Generation essay
I definitely think there is something to this, to be sure. I just think the example you are giving in this essay is not that.

The Lost Generation essay
I dunno man. I come at it from the exact opposite side of the coin, explicitly class based and someone who is around actual working people every day, and most of the points seem pretty fair to me. If we are doing the no offense thing, you are always about working class this and that, and class, yet you are preoccupied for some reason by hiring practices in big tech, which in and of itself is a milquetoast upper middle nonsense, then specifically millennial white dudes of all things, so you and the author are the ones focusing on identity issues in the first place. If you want to get into the nuts and bolts of class identity and a real voting substantial bloc come down here in the mud with actual working stiffs. My biggest gripe with the article is the writer is a fucking pussy who couldn't hack it in my world. I acknowledge the need for the tent and all, and I hope we unite against the oligarch class, but I just don't see much juice to squeeze on this one man, millennials are the most liberal bloc already, so you are talking about fractions here of disaffected millennial men voting R in that cohort. And I will note millennials have had a ludicrously bad time of it for myriad reasons! But this ain't it. Precisely

Sadly true. When's a middle age white dude gonna catch a break in this world! My previous one actually had more views and likes, but I think it's crappier. The framing wasn't great, and there's a weird audio skip in the middle. Drums sound good though!

I also have to add, I can't think of a more pie in the sky career dream than screenwriter.

Wildcat has hit on my main take on your perspective. You've mentioned this anecdote of "big tech" like 10 times in this thread. That is a very specific thing which you are extrapolating to en masse. As someone who has hired a lot of motherfuckers, white dudes have not gotten undue discrimination in my experience at all, at any point. I do strongly agree with your outlook on every non-Thurston Howell's prospective future, but it isn't because we did a small segment of white millennial dudes wrong.

I use SoundCloud these days, we already used it for sharing with private links and stuff so mostly convenience.To be fair, almost all the distros are going through massive enshittification, so it probably doesn't matter a whole lot!
