      I think a lot of millennials got contaminated with all the anti-SJW and gamergate type stuff, the result is a lot of them dislike oligarchs and big corps but think for some reason that woke communists are controlling the big corps.

        In my experience it’s more they grew up in the 90s and got nostalgiapoisoned by “better times” like Gen X and Boomers so they think we “don’t need” socialism and that a welfare state is sufficient.

        e.g. they’re conservative liberals who want to go back to “better times”, but this time with gay marriage and black presidents

        All my millennial friends are at the very least communist sympathizers, so I have no idea lol. Even the term woke was coined by Black millennials (as far as I know, it’s possible the previous generation could have too, aave tends to blend across gens) before it was co-opted by white liberals
