To be fair, this started with millennials. We’ve known we’re fucked for many years now. But we didn’t grow up with it the same way that these kids did. We thought we had a future for a little while.
I’m from 1980. I’m glad I don’t have children. I hope I can avoid the water wars, but I’m not sure I’ll choose to stay around long enough to see Hayley’s Comet again. I don’t think the collapse of global society (including, but not limited to the Internet) is eminent, but it does seem damn-near unavoidable: We need to act globally soon, and convincing/replacing current global leadership seems like it will take too long.
people who have no future are depressed?!?
people who’ve had their future ripped away from them, thrown out in the street, and repeatedly run over
