Just fuck me up fam

Legacy News Media: We literally have no idea why Gen Z has given up on literally everything, has decided to not save for the future, and instead is trying to live and enjoy their life now.

Real World: Dearth of opportunities to make a life for yourself, every industry has reached is maximum zenith and now makes money by wringing pennies out of consumers, you need money to exist anywhere, there are no more places to just be, and the government is clearly corrupt and about to be taken over by a literal fucking fascist party because the other party is full of pussies who don't want to "upset the status quo" and keep letting the fucking fascists get away with shit, because "we have to follow the laws, even the ones that clearly benefit the fascists, passed by fascists. It's the law and if we don't take it seriously, everything falls apart. Sorry that means the fascists will win." Oh, and climate change is about to destroy our ability to even have a functional society.

As a millennial, I'm ready for a fucking dirt nap. Things just keep getting worse and fuck nobody is coming to save me or anyone else. Everyone is so caught up in their own lives and problems no one has the time or effort to give anyone else, meaning we're all suffering alone.

Literally what is even the fucking point of struggling to the natural end of my life? There isn't one.

It didn't have to be this way, but a lot of old selfish pieces of shit decided that it was more important to trash the planet and live the high life during their hayday, and then give all their children and grandchildren a swift kick in the ass and says "Children are our future! I just made that up! Now go fix the fucking messes we made for you! We're not concerned with mass extinction, because we'll be dead and it won't be our problem! Good luck, or not!"

Alternate viewpoint: We're forged in the fires of adversity. No longer are things easy or handed to us, we make our own road. We learn, teach ourselves, work our passions and figure things out against all odds. We're stronger, wiser and ultimately happier for it, despite outward appearances

All of the baby boomers will be dead within 20 years, maybe then we can make some improvements?

(Sorry mom & dad, nothing personal)

You guys are just on 4th?

Damn, there’s a lot of angry, self-harm promoting people in this thread. Take care of yourself people. Take it one day at a time. The Earth is still here, for now.

Millennials these days:

We are old now.

I'm a millennial, just trying to not let the world's ills bother me now. Life is too short and what you make it.

I recognize those dead, glazed over eyes! They look like mine. Oh...

And in ongoing efforts to kill the economy for 5th time.

Speak up, call your government reps. Your apathy is what they are counting on to avoid change

Me but green tartan skirt, also I'm a dude.

Is that makoto?

That pizza looks delicious. Lots of cheese. Toppings. 🤤

I liked the anime version better

There are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen.

Yeah, this also explains why we feel over 400 years old.

Which 4 specifically? The Pandemic is the obvious one. Russia-Ukraine + Israel-Hamas conflicts? Climate Change?

Go look at people in Syria or Venezuela who can barely find food. You're just a bunch of annoying spoiled brats. You need to struggle to find food, clear water and electricity to learn what struggle means. You need to try to rush your grandma to the hospital and see her die in your car in your arms, because of army gates blocking the way, to know the value of the luxury you're living at.

You'll never realize the blessing you're enjoying until you lose it. Grow up and learn to be thankful you have a full belly and warm water.
