I can understand your general message on how you shoukd be human and as such live the full life that God meant for you in a community of friends and family and such and not in the pod, but your abrasive and intentionally undermining of the problems a lot of Zoomers face nowadays (many of which weren't even a thing 10-15 years ago) is the exact brand of boomer tier moralizing that turns people off to your message (for good reason). If you aren't willing to listen to the very reasonable problems a lot of Zoomers in this thread are talking about ITT and facing in real life why should they listen to an elder or authority figure that can't actually act like an elder?
A lot of the problems Zoomers face aren't even self-inflicted like the baby boomers did to themselves with the Sexual Revolution and their children. They're just as much victims of bad half-assed parenting, being put on the Internet too young and just all the bad decisions the previous generations passed down via divorces/bad marriages, abuse addicition, etc. They aren't completely blameless in this and they do have a responsibility to find true happiness in God, family and community (often they don't and that's tragic but at some point your past can't dictate your future), but you act like they haven't been dealt a bad hand in life.
Social/romantic connections are fucked due to physical spaces and physical friend groups centered around common interests and the like not really existing or only existing in a very limited state. People are generally much much colder than they were even before COVID. That's not even going into a lack of male/female role models for men/women respectively, bad actors pushing degenerate behaviors for monetary gain and just the fragmentation of the human person into a market item. Things are bad and ignoring the perspective of the (sane and coherent) youth is only going to make things worse. Society as it stands is fundamentally broken and putting in a hard days work isn't even enough to survive for a lot of people and there is no community or other people to help you. Even marriages/relationships are more for the sake of convenience or finances rather a sacramental expression of love. You can do everything right, and still be as empty as the man-cave dwelling NEET. There's just so few avenues to find true meaning in life now (they certainly exist but they are a diamond in the rough rather than something a reasonably hard working man could achieve with the help of hid wife, family (nuclear and extended) and friends). We're turning into Argentina or Brazil, where you have to work your ass off to stay middle class and class advancement is impossible.
We need to build up Zoomers and Gen Alpha by building bridges with them to a better future and reinstating the Christian ethos of the West again somehow, not having shouting matches with them and expecting them to listen just because you are older. That never works, builds resentment and wastes everyone's time.
