Millennials: They Need to Outsmart the Big Lie

Millennials. Now that is a futuristic title. It is interesting to see the labels that are put on different generations of humanity. They define who we are and what we think as a generational whole.Baby boomers also have starts in the millennial era. Even now a new generation is developing which may be named the I-Gen. As we are typed and labeled according to our generation, yet we still are slaves to the GI- Generation, (1901-1945) some of whom perpetrated among us, one of the biggest most prevailing lies of all time. As a consequence we are paying parasites to make us dance like marionettes on the end of the devils strings. Most of us do not know that we are being lied to. Most of us will fight to pay these parasitical criminals and live the lie. The lie being that we are slaves. Think not? What do any of us really own? Our car? Our home? Our furnishings? Nope. Any and all of it can be taken away from us if we miss a payment, renege on a mortgage, and don’t pay our taxes etc. etc. What we do own is our debt. I can’t believe the rhetoric millennials are forced to swallow from the media. These parasites persuade many to give up their life’s blood for a chance to shave comfortably.

In time many will come to learn what the big lie is, as they experience misery of connived choice and faulty promise.

It is up to the Millennial to study history and the way of things. I’ll leave you with a scary thought as you consider the upcoming elections and what we are facing:

"All this was inspired by the principle -- which is quite true in itself -- that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes..." -- Hitler Mein Kampf

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
