I recently heard a take of “what boomers don’t understand about millennials and younger generations is that we don’t expect anything good to happen ever again.” I’ve talked to a lot of friends about this and the general consensus is “…yeah” not a single person has disputed it, even a little. When I mentioned this to my dad, he complained that his social security might be reduced in the next few years.
I saw a debate where someone said “All of my friends are in their 30s. None of them have kids. None. Do you know how hard you have to abuse a mammal to make it stop having kids?”
And now I think we have an answer to that question.
I don’t expect it, but I’m also not going to be complicit in them getting worse. Lethargy and cynicism means you’ve already lost, which is what the assholes at the top want.
With you 100%
I think millennials have been taught our whole lives that those at the top will take anything we don’t nail down. We’ll keep nailing things down, continuing with the expectation that the world will continue not to be made for us
i mean… i hope good things will happen, but yeah i don’t expect them to. especially when we look at the climate crisis, we’re probably one of the last generations that’ll remember the world when it was relatively normal
i just hope i die before the whole planet is forced to ration drinking water

Oh, that thing we probably aren’t even going to get? Sounds rough.
I’ll have fun paying for his before then, though
