Maybe eventually when time marches on and we become the majority (I’m 23) we can make good positive social change. In some ways, while living through it is bad; the hardship and unfairness of the system is preventing the usual trend of people becoming more conservative as they age; so perhaps there is hope for things getting better in the future. We just have to keep trying; we can’t give in to cynicism.
Do you mean going back to a society that treasure the individuals right to pursue happiness instead of being whipped to generate profits for the megacorps?
Sounds like a societal philosophy I’d like to conserve, both for us and those who come after.
The problem is it is not a generational issue. It’s a class issue. Rich millennials, and Gen Z will be no better than the rich Boomers. They will die believing they are just more special than everyone else and that is why they deserve so much more.
Generations won’t change shit about who is in charge, sadly.

While I believe people are so fucked over and so fed up with nightmare clownworld that the machine will stop once the boomers that closed the door behind them die out. I think we’re already seeing the first signs.
I dunno man, I’ve met some of my peers. The vast majority of them are just normal people, right, living their lives, totally nice, but then some of them are really fucking stupid or mean, and I kind of wonder if this narrative that gen Z will save the world is true at all, or if it’s just that same sort of nonsense, that all we’ll have to do is wait and things will somehow get better.
Studies have apparently shown that the trend of people becoming more conservative as they grow older isn’t even true. The data says that the Boomers were just as conservative when they started voting as they are today. If anything, people consistently become more conservative as they get wealthier.
Some say it’s going to get worse before it gets better. I’m old enough to see that it’s going to get worse before it gets permanent. I’m glad I’m nearly double your age, it means that I don’t have to live in this nightmare world for as long as you.

I’m 32 and no way in hell am I turning conservative. Fuck that we need change and we need it now.

I believe it. Majority of white boomers hated the Civil Rights movement.
