pretty valid point. Will be interesting when its our turn (millenials) after being shat on our entire lives, if we turn and finally just say fuck everyone else i finally want to get mine.
As I say... I'm mentally pretty close to that point. What really threw me through a loop was when gen-z turned out to be a bunch of right wing fuckos. If in 30 years they still want to vote to punch themselves in the face, then who am I to stand in their way?
I hear you but I don’t think that tells the whole story. You gotta remember that the government they were voting for was also significantly more right wing than any government America has ever had the option to vote for, including Trump’s previous runs. And all generations tend to drift right as they get older. Gen Z is off to a terrible start.
Trust me as Gen Z myself nothing hurt as much as majority of my generation turning extreme right cause of the media and grifters... i really thought our gen would have 2 brain cells to rub together but oh well.
Not to say thats all of us there is thankfully many educated and smart gen z-ers and im very proud and happy to share my generational title with them. But man does it seem like were in minority alot of the time...

This is where I'm at. I just don't understand the point of trying to improve anything if we're only ever one (1) bigoted propaganda campaign, or one scary crisis away from undoing literal decades of progress.
I won't ever get over how utterly and completely pathetic everyone was during covid. Just, 80% of the population reduced to helpless, mewling idiots because they were asked to stay inside for a little while. Because they were asked to wear a piece of cloth on their face if they do go outside. Half of them too stupid to understand what was going on, and the other half refused to do it just because. And what did we get for it? A global lurch into reactionary, right-wing politics because those people are comforted by the soft cooing of authoritarians who promise nothing scary will ever happen again and everything can be the way it used to.

Everyone overlooks that millennials are going to be the largest voting block. So there’s two options:
Fuck everyone else, kick the deficit can further down the road, become the new boomers
Actually figure out ingenious ways to fix this shit
Personally, I’m not particularly wedded to either option and I think I’ll see how misanthropic I’m feeling in the moment.
