Why are millennials so uninterested in politics? Are they the most politically apathetic generation yet? I chalk up most of the corruption and faulty electioneering in the West as a result of the politically illiterate, and it is killing us. How do we fix this?

They are apathetic because of lib propaganda in schools. It convinces them that they are already right and have nothing to debate about or read.

Disillusioned with the system.
Social Democracy makes people apathetic because all the leaders are cucks that openly lie constantly.
I actually don't know. Just turned 18 this winter and am a very active voter. Went and voted for Berno to try to prevent Shillary from winning in the primary (Trump had my state locked the fuck down). When Bern ended up losing, I decided to look up former classmates in the voter database and found out none of them voted.
Why they didn't is a complete mystery to me, since they literally collaborate with a voter registration group. Only one turned out to vote (he shills for Hillary, but ended up voting in the Republican primary for some reason).
I don't get it.
I'm 21 and I could say i share my generation with a bunch of zombies.

In the past, I tried my absolute hardest to talk politics at work to customers remaining unbiased and center (2 party system is unethical) and people just like to complain (even if i remain unbiased/in the middle).......then they go and complain to my manager that I "sodomized them".. no i dont talk politics
>I blame lefties/sjw's........because I guess whatever it is they do...........they must be "politically correct"

The bell is tolling soon for Hillary Rodham Clinton,

>new generation is full of idiots !!!
Look at this snowflake
Why are you guys acting like your parents were informed voters? I'd rather have non-voters than propaganda filled and ignorant votes. Chances are your mother votes what your father votes and he voted because he's either #TeamMagma or #TeamAqua.

If it makes you feel better, people only screw themselves from their disinterest in politics. It's a eugenic effect, in the sense that 'middle IQ' people can't survive a nihilistic society. So you being aware of politics means that you are ahead of everyone you talk to. So you can avoid the dangers earlier.
Right now, it's a literal disorganized jungle. Best to stay out of it. We can't fight the tiger collectively, so the next best thing is to be faster than the slowest guy. Sometime around the 2030s, interest will pick up in turning things around. But only after everything's gone to total shit.

/pol/ is 2nd largest, I'm pretty sure we just beat out /v/

That's the best thing about Western Ideology. It totally misunderstands how and why people politically tick. It took me a while to solve these questions, but man oh man, prepare for the Demagogues. They have all the power in this environment.

this guy gets it

they feel their voices don't matter to politicians.

Apathy started earlier than any of us. We're just being passed the torch by a group that never lit it.

Good book.
>>79357265
Because the presidents they remember are Clinton, Bush, and Obama. Who the fuck wouldn't lose interest in politics when they were born into 24 years of terrible leadership?
>>79357265
They're interested in politics as long as it makes them look good among their peers. They're just not interested in actually learning about politics.

It really is an underrated gem.
>>79357265
Politics aren't really rewarding with an attention span of about 3 seconds.

Are you Jim Carey?
No reason to care.
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with their brains. Maybe we should poke around in there a bit?
>>79357265
Many are so self absorbed, they don't believe what happens in some podunk non-state affects them.
>>79357265
How the fuck is this even a surprise?
>live in the age of convenience where fucking anything and everything is available to you
>conk yourself out on vidya, porn, whatever else at your leisure
>drug culture
>selfie culture
>social media cancer
>why are millenials so apathetic
It's as clear as fucking day.
>>79366021
>Many are so self absorbed, ...
>Implying you yourself aren't just in it for all the lulz and keks
they get overly emotional if you disagree with them so they just don't think about politics at all to avoid this feeling
>>79357265
Our elites view millennials as the perfectly programmed generation and they are right. That is why the elites will try to fully implement their agenda once the millennials get a little older.
But there is still some hope for millennials. Millennials will have a significantly lower standard of living than their parents and this may wake them out of their trance (media/educational programming).

>hurr durr back in my day
Fully politicised millennial checking in.

Those are merely a side effect
When I was younger I was totally uninterested in politics because I knew the world was awful and I had no way to change it.
Now I am interested in politics because the world is worse than I could have imagined and I have no way to change it.
