Generation Z, "Ironic" Degeneracy, Sadism, and Discord - Not a fun thread

I will be called a nigger for saying this anecdote but I promise I'm just eastern European:

When I was a kid there was an instilled virtue of "not playing the hero" ie if you saw corruption, fraud, even more serious crime happening you wouldn't snitch or try to fix it because the system itself is broken and you are powerless against it.

I feel like this concept spread to all zoomers globally. When you think about it we are blasted with demoralizing shit about muh climate change and muh Palestine and all this suffering on social media. Individuals can't do anything about it and those who try to protest or try to change the system are considered tryhards and retarded.

You can choose to be a good person and make a difference for your family, community, town etc, but terminally online zoomers don't see that.

The way zoomer internet culture is moving actually reminds me of Russian internet culture in terms of the detachment and irony poisoning.

Sounds extremely Soviet, including the subsequent demoralisation across the West.
 
It makes sense all things considered, like it or not on third world shit holes like Eastern Europe, Latin America etc, snitching could easily get you killed, imprisoned or just abused by the ""authorities"" (they're all criminals with badges issued by the state essentially).

So if you care even slightly about self-preservation you're kind of forced to shut up, mind you people tend to be keenly aware of all the corruption and misdeeds going on (especially now thanks to social media) but they know that even if they try to intervene the changes they change anything are slim, all while a very real danger for them and their loved ones exists, it's depressing really but it's just how things are.
 
this is the end result of asshole parents who can't help but fuck over their own children either by actively being shitheads or by neglect. now the kids have successfully been condition to believe that behavior that actively destroys society is normal o algo. yey!!!

i do think though that the internet, being a microcosm of societies most raw aspects, is an inherently dangerous and evil place, and attempting to safe-proof it like australia and europe are doing isn't gonna solve much of anything. it's been awful a place for as long as it's been publically accessable and will likely only continue to get worse as more people join. all we can really do is GENUINELY teach our kids the dangers of the web and for them to navigate it with very VERY heavy discretion, avoiding making the same mistake that was made before.
