Yes these young Millennial Statists are the perfect example of Zeal without Knowledge, swept away by emotions and little else. I am of the opinion they will one day wake up to smell the shit in their coffee.

The "Greatest Generation" is far worse. So are the boomers. The aging hippies became the very thing against which they once rebelled.
They aren't all Millennials... I know many who are older. Some, much older. Yet, with all they've lived through, they still believe governing others is a legitimate human endeavor.
I think the root of their discontent is the fact that life is not fair. They want government to make it fair or in their words "just". Fools, everyone. Other than that many are nice folks. But still fools.
"Fair" isn't a feature of reality. It was (as Scott Adams says) a concept made up so children and idiots could feel as though they are participating in the conversation. Changing the word to "just" doesn't solve the problem.
(And I doubt a statist would recognize justice if someone rubbed his nose in it.)
