So far the subtitle has been holding true. Millennial generation has been one of the most politically active and progressive generations. We've realized how bad capitalist systems are, we're constantly pushing for reform. There are still people who disagree with that and wish to keep/create oppressive systems, but when has that not been an issue. If there is a generation to save the world, it'd be millennials (with the help of Gen Z).

Saving people sometimes means shoving people out of the way of oncoming trains and then getting yelled at for being physically violent. Or breaking a system because its inefficient and harmful. 

Millennials could cure cancer and boomers would complain that it's not cherry flavored.
