Millennials müssen einiges einstecken: Sie sind schöngeistig, verweichlicht, dünnhäutig, faul, unmoralisch und irgendwie generell einfach ein wenig verdorben und verloren. Reallöhne sinken, das Klima steigt. Sollen lieber mal was Anständiges schaffen, diese Millennials!
Doch insbesondere in Sachen Klima lässt sich der Schwarze Peter nur schwer an die jüngere Generation weiterschieben. Und seit der Wahl von Donald Trump zum US-Präsidenten haben US-Millennials ohnehin die Schnauze voll vom scheinheiligen Gefluche der Babyboomer. Und zeigen seit 2016 immer wieder pointiert auf, wie verquer die Vorwürfe der Elterngeneration eigentlich sind.
Im Hinblick auf das Weltklima, unsere bröckelnde AHV und die stetigen Politiker-Parolen, von wegen «dass man jetzt halt mal was tun muss», haben wir ein paar Stücke Realsatire auf Twitter ausgegraben. Tweets, die nicht neu, dafür treffender denn je sind.
