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.

I’m obviously not saying the past was perfect, I’m saying we remember a world where a lot of families got on pretty well with 1 parent working paying for a home, cars, vacation, hobbies, etc.

I also took a pretty US centric view of your comment. If you’re from a country in which the 90s were indeed The Good Times, just ignore me.

In the US, there were probably more people living stable middle class lives than there are today but there was still a very large and mostly ignored underclass, and there always has been.

Yeah I really don’t see how my comment would lead anyone to believe that I thought that wasn’t the case? Obviously
