GenX was also relatively small compared to the boomers.
I wonder if every generation will blame (maybe correctly) previous generations. So long as things are getting worse, the kids kind of have a valid argument. “Why didn’t you fix this before it got to us?”
As a millennial, I’ve been doing what I can short of going full vigilante. But in 30 years, they still wouldn’t be wrong to say “it’s still broke though isn’t it?”
Millennial here too… I blame myself for everything, including climate change. Everything I (can) buy is wrapped in plastic. Everything I (can) consume produces CO2.
Every step I take, every breath I make… I’m killing earth.
I have a lot of self hate and can understand anyone who hates my generation. At least it ends with me. Who ever thinks kids are a good Idea must be completely insane.
How about it’s not your fault that there isn’t a alternative to a more eco friendly product, because it’s the politicians fault, we elect politician’s and they have almost all of them a green Policy. But that’s just on paper, they will really never do anything that hurt the economy and corporate profit. We vote on policy and they won’t implement it, the only thing you are responsible for is holding your politicians to account, but yeah keep blaming yourself for the shit that you have no control over and live in apathy
Whoa whoa. Never said I hated myself. That doesn’t solve anything. If anything it makes things worse by stealing focus. More like realizing that this isn’t working. We need to fix the system instead of letting people distract us with plastic straws or playing the blame game
Gen Z already has some belief that Millennials did nothing but complain. No/not enough progress was made for all the protesting millennials cried for. It looks like Z is going the X apathetic route.
The system in question is capitalism. It’s been around longer than any of the named generations. It was tamed a little before the first world war (it enabled the first world war to be a world war). It needs to be more restricted
Boomers and Gen X did exactly the same thing that you’re doing. Nothing. They just let the super rich elite screw the whole world up and now you’re doing the same thing they did. Nothing.
If you want to act high and mighty you’re not going to change the world by complaining on the internet. You have to stop the super rich.
If I could, I would use this simple way to stop them: ban all parties that support them, nationalize all their beings and “sweeten up” their coffee if they complain too much.
There’s only one problem: I CAN’T DO NOTHING BECAUSE I’M NOT IN FUCKING POWER
Yeah, yeah, 80s and 90s had concentration camps for black people, heard that shit before. Meanwhile no climate crisis, no Trump, no Tiktok, nothing, just some fucking peace.
Boomers and Gen X lived in a paradise, destroyed it and now complain that things are shit.
Boomers really more than Gen X
Nah, 80s and 90s were paradise too.
Let’s just go back to those decades and never leave.
The systems that destroyed our society were created by boomers and Regan. They just took time to work.
GenX was also relatively small compared to the boomers.

I am of the opinion we should implement left-wing authoritarian regime worldwide.
The system in question is capitalism. It’s been around longer than any of the named generations. It was tamed a little before the first world war (it enabled the first world war to be a world war). It needs to be more restricted
Which system do you think destroys our society?
Gen X did nothing to improve the dumpster fire that boomers created. All they do is whine about how “powerless” they were
So just like you?

Same as it ever was.
Complaining is a tool. Talking is a tool. Leads to acting and organizing. Guillotines don’t spontaneously form from the aether.
Except for all the people who’s skin shade is slightly darker than vanilla.

trump was there, too. biding his time, waiting.
