So said Gen-X
So said Millennials.

This is not breaking new ground. Yes. Every generation was fucked in a brand new way that didn't exist before and is totally worse and incomparable.
Gen X was able to buy land and have kids. That's where most of the Millennials come from. As for the Millennials, many of them were born in a time of wealth and prosperity, so they at least had a taste of paradise before it all went to hell.

You can't say the same about Gen Z. They were born in shit, and they'll die in shit. And the knowledge of that drives them mad.
 
Gen Z is malding at the fact that they'll never own homes, they'll never form families, they'll always work a miserable 9-5 for a job they hate, and they will live and die as nothing more but as a replaceable worker drone that probably will be replaced by something automated.
Who can expect someone to work hard and put in effort if they get nothing in return, at best barely able to keep going paycheck-to-paycheck?

The COVID bullshit was the biggest upward transfer of wealth probably in all of recorded history. The wealthy continue to prosper at the expense of everyone else - this is no longer remotely a situation where a rising tide lifts all boats.

Hindsight can give those generations something positive to gleam from their time even if at the time they felt like things were shit. What will zoomers (born within 1998-2010) have to look back on positively?

My point exactly. Not only is Gen Z barely trudging on in a world of shit, but they are keenly aware of people who are living better than them, who have more wealth than them, who don't have to deal with the same problems they do, and they have to deal with these people on a daily basis.

Kind of kills the whole idea that the nation is founded on the principle of "all men are made equal". Hence why Gen Z doesn't really want to die fighting for Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam has nothing to offer them, and Uncle Sam doesn't care if they die in shit, so they don't care for him that much. That, and they see the previous generation of soldiers come back home with PTSD, missing limbs, and poverty, and they're like "fuck that!"

COVID was the catalyst for Zoomers just checking out. Ofc they still work and get paid but unless they are in a specialized field, or in a super cheap area, they can't afford homes, or they live paycheck to paycheck. A lot of them are atomized and don't do social interaction. A lot of them a dumb, a mixture of demographics, and a school system not really teaching them. I don't blame them for being attracted to Socialism or Fascism if it means getting stuff they want

I don't think they care about socialism or fascism. They're more in the case of "leave us the fuck alone, shithead!" Their reaction to Leftist moralizers and Trump is a solid "FUCK YOU".
 
the porn sites have gotten big mad about the growing number of age verification laws and are now linking to a blogpost in which it simultaneously claims it's "all a moral panic and not really about protecting kids" and then later in the same article it, for some Godforsaken reason, argues that porn isn't bad for TEENAGERS OR CHILDREN.

we can argue about the dangers of these laws potentially being used to go after regular websites, but i want to see these "people" running these porn sites thrown off fucking rooftops.

Large numbers of angry young men with no future burn down societies. I keep feeling like Trump is the least of the Fashys coming.

Let me elaborate. They don't care about the core of each ideology themselves, most can't name anything aside from X historical figure. But they offer utopian visions for zoomers that is appealing and an alternative to whatever system we live under now.

They'll probably gut him first, then the Left, when the Left tries to claim Gen Z as their allies.

Gen Z hates both the Trump Right and the modern Left; both sides have failed them. Trump appeals to nationalist boomers, the Left appeals to moralizing Millennials; Gen Z has nothing to gain from both, but everything to gain if both go away. The world will finally be theirs.

Then when the utopia doesn't come true, the reign of terror starts and they start decapitating people.
 
Funny how that works. It's almost like the government shouldn't put itself in a position to bail out banks handing out risky loans.
Prior to the feds creating the Stafford loan program, if you wanted a college loan, they were just like any other loan. You needed collateral, good credit, and payments started the day you got the loan. So just like any other loan, they weren't handed out like candy. Then some libtards in the Sixties said, oh, wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone got a college degree, then everyone would be in the upper quartile of income, except boo fuckin' hoo the banks won't give loans to just anyone. So they came up with the bright idea of the government subsidizing low interest rates and backstopping any losses that might happen. Thus the Stafford program, thus oceans of free money to the university system, thus rapid inflation in college tuition. MIT vs the IRS just dumped gasoline on the fire.

If we just ended the federal student loan program, the higher ed industry would collapse. They'd fire tons and tons of administrators in order to bring costs down to where students could afford them again. It would be glorious. But most Americans would throw an absolute fit, they love the idea of universal college education.
 
To quote Dean Vernon Wormer, “Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life.” But don’t blame Rosie O’Donnell; in her case, the first two are Trump’s fault:

what neoliberalism does to a mf

O’Donnell said President Donald Trump’s first term took a severe toll on her mental and physical health, leading her to overeat, overdrink, and leave the United States for Ireland for “self-preservation” following his November election win.

In an appearance Tuesday on The Chris Cuomo Project podcast, O’Donnell revealed that Trump’s presidency, particularly his second election victory, drove her to leave the country for her own well-being and for her autistic, nonbinary child.

Who could have guessed that a child kidnapped adopted into one of Rosie O’Donnell’s lesbian parodies of a family would turn out messed up? She has “married” other women twice; both unholy matrimonies were short-lived.
“I was very, very depressed. I was overeating. I was overdrinking,” O’Donnell told Cuomo.

She says she abandoned America for the sake of her endangered mental health. It hasn’t done her much good, but it did make America an even better place for normal people.

Ofcom, the same retards who tried to shake down Null because "UK citizens use your website so you'd better cough up all the legal shit we demand and believe we are entitled to." Ofcom of all people say we should study Early Porn Introduction.

My understanding is that both genders are lonely now, about 50%ish but whenever men talk about their lonelness its usually handwaved, or they are called incels. I have noticed a shift lately, even if slowly, of talking about male loneliness and how to address it more without calling them Incels and i think that's one positive step. Atomization is easily the biggest reason why there isn't a lot of social interaction, but also retards pushing ideas like asking a girl out is akin to rape or all women are whores and sleep with 100+ guys a year, etc

Social anarchy when?

Ah yes. Because Generations before [CURRENT DISAFFECTED YOUTH] didn't have the world telling them they were about to fall off a cliff their entire lives. Yet the majority of it didn't materialize. Remember when Millennials weren't going to ever own a house? Now it's Gen Z won't be able to and no one gives a fuck about Millennials problems anymore because they finally aged into the appropriate brackets to own.

"Every generation is fucked, so don't complain about it. Stop crying"

Boomer logic
Neck yourself. Before you reach puberty, preferably.

Remember when Millenials were killing the diamond industry too? That one's a corker :story:
