Leaving aside your typical cheap shot...

I do think there's too much competition among college graduates and a generation in crisis because they were told they would have X if they just did Y, and it was a lie. What they should have been told is that they would have X if they did Y better than anyone else, or in a new an innovative way.

Which is also kind of a lie, and doesn't take away from the central problem of too many people striving for X with not enough X to go around even for the innovators.

And your solution then? A dismantling of capitalism and a redistribution of wealth?

Recommended reading: My other comments in this thread.

Capitalism and democratic socialism do best when mixed. It allows for innovation and creative solutions for emergent problems while providing everyone with a safety net. A basic income and guaranteed housing would go a long way towards making some of those lofty libertarian pipe dreams possible.

I agree with this solution. Along with higher taxes and more regulation for corporations.

I may be a libertarian, but I'm not a conservative, dear. :)

Ever heard of Sam Harris? Richard Dawkins? Bill Maher? Christina Hoff Sommers? Cathy Young?

Wake up, or you're gonna find the Democratic party in the same position 4 years from now that the Republican party is in now.

I find it telling that all of those people are kind of shitty human beings. Don't you have any better examples? If you're using Dawkins as an example of your ideology something's gone wrong.

And there it is. Liberal authoritarianism in action.

So how did you get "liberal authoritarianism" from "Richard Dawkins is a garbage human?"

The regressive left operates by ad hominem attacks rather than engaging in civil, productive debate. The person is shitty, therefore their ideas are shitty.

Because the 'regressive left' are the only ones who do that. Okay then. Have a good night <3
