    Boomers and Gen X lived in a paradise, destroyed it and now complain that things are shit.

        Nah, 80s and 90s were paradise too.

        Let’s just go back to those decades and never leave.

            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?”

              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 systems that destroyed our society were created by boomers and Regan

            Which system do you think destroys our society?

      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.

        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

        Complaining is a tool. Talking is a tool. Leads to acting and organizing. Guillotines don’t spontaneously form from the aether.

        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.
