    Again, you’re looking at the situation from a completely wrong angle.

    Seriously guys, are you unable to understand that your own position is not that of the current youth?

    Yes, having a house taken away is bad, but let’s be realistic here: how many people did that really affect and how did the kids look at it? For most kids, in 2010 this whole thing was over. And they were seen as something fixable, and people ostensibly worked on fixing them. There was (and this is important!) a clear, realistic path out of the pit.

    We don’t have that today. What is the path out of a looming fascist revival? What is the path out of a full blown climate crisis? What is the path out of a society ruled over by rich old men?

    The youth has no self efficacy left. We don’t have it either, but we just throw a bunch of copium every day and ignore the problems.

      Ok…so my points are invalid because I am living in the time that the young occupy, but don’t “get” because I am not young…and yet your points are valid because you’re too young to have experienced the full effects of the recession/covid, etc.

      What is the path out of a looming fascist revival? The same as it always has been; strife, war, deprivation.

      What is the path out of a full blown climate crisis? Humans will adapt.

      What is the path out of a society ruled over by rich old men? lol…when has it not been so? We are still in our infancy as a race…at some point it will change, but unless you are willing to work your entire lifetime to make that change it will continue.

      Unless you’re commited to working towards making a change, you’re just complaining.
