Millennials are anticapitalist for the opposite reason. We DO remember the good old days.

Certainly the 90s were more stable and prosperous for more people than today, but to say those were the good old days means you would have to ignore:

  • Extreme urban decay
  • Unchecked police violence against minorities
  • Vile homophobia in the mainstream and no recognition at all of trans people
  • The rise of commodified suburban housing, stores, and restaurants
  • Our government’s Imperial ambition becoming completely unchecked in the wake of the fall of the Soviet Union

There were never good old days.

The extreme urban decay of the 90s is to the extreme urban decay of the 20s just as Office Spaces hell of office cubes and meaningless work is to the deeper, darker hell of gig work and poverty.

Shit was shit, its just that shit wasn’t as shit as it is now.

I brought up how Office Space is supposed to be about a hellish environment… I’ve never had a cubical to myself, or a computer I can leave at work at 5pm. Its 2026 and I find myself wishing for the hell that Peter finds himself in, as its far, far more comfortable than the hell we have now.

I hated that movie the first time I watched it. Found it terrifying.

The work and environment wasn’t the scary part, but how much people were willing to do something they felt hatred towards without protest.

I would drag my balls over broken glass at the moment for a secure job where I did something mundane. Ideally one that doesn’t actively worsen the world. I’ve already done too much of that.
