The generation who wants to make 80$/hour but only want to work 4 hours a day every other day but is a high school drop out and has 30 pronouns, the same people who want to protest on behalf of Palestinians, who if the said protestors visit Palestine, they'd be raped and beheaded for being apart of the LGBTQ community, the same people who wear fanny packs and socks with sandals, and the ones who are tide pods........
Or the people who wore diapers on their ears, took deworming pills to battle COVID, "injected themselves with bleach", and school shootings because the "strong men" made fun of them etc etc etc
Oh wait. Maybe they did create the hard times that created the weak men..... Just downhill from here, or unless Kamala Harris wins the election so we can create strong men again. Oh wait.... "Vote blue no matter who" is a rather weak strategy which creates low informed voters as well as the "make America great" schtick.
IDK, all of humanity is doomed. There is no saving us. We are constantly at odds with each other and no one wants total cohesiveness or even promotes it.
We are drifting away and there is no going back. Blame the "boomers" and " Gen X" all you want, we are destined to destroy ourselves and the answer isn't "vote blue no matter who" or "Make America great again".
The wrong people are being heralded as role models. Role models shouldn't be famous people or politicians. And if parents can't be role models and then they shouldn't have become parents.
Anyway, off I go to collect downvotes and snarky comments yet again lol
The baby icon next to your nick is just 👌👌
Is that you Elon?
As the economy grows and progress creates exponentially more wealth, it's only natural that people demand ever higher standards of living. This is good, this is how it should be.
At the same time, generational theory is bullshit. People in each age bracket are very different, and in each of them you can find what you would call more sensitive or more tough people. And it is good, too! Some people are better at promoting change, some people are better at withstanding the status quo. Both are necessary if we want to have constant growth on a strong foundation. Oh, and every generation has stupid freaks. A lot of them, in fact.
LGBTQ+ youth defending Palestine is not about promoting LGBTQ+ rights. It's about fighting for a more fundamental right - right for people to live. No one in their sane mind expects Palestinian Arabs to go under rainbow flags, but it doesn't matter for as long as life for everyone in the region is endangered. The people you call "weak" are protesting in defence of basic human rights - something "strong" people fought hard for - that are undermined in the world of today. They'd rather see a region that is unfriendly to LGBTQ+ than one that is mass grave.
And you're right - famous people shouldn't be our role models! They just often happen to be so as they are in the spotlight. But we should promote other voices - scientists, engineers, economists, we should promote meaningful art, etc. etc. Parents are not always a perfect role model, as they bring with them a load of stereotypes, cognitive distortions, and are commonly conservative in the wide sense of the word, which hinders the development of new ways of thinking. But they too are undoubtedly important.
