The world is better than it ever has been since the 1970s. You are too young to know what it was like during the Cold War. We are not even under daily nuclear threats like was used to be. There isn’t a wall across Europe with two Superpowers pointing weapons at each other. Life is really good right now compared to the past.
I am also old as fuck. We’re in a proxy war with one nuclear power and a new cold war with another. Just because the government and the media aren’t scaremongering us about these facts doesn’t change them.

Also, climate change.

The boomers & gen-xers are gaslighting you, folks.
I mean, in the ’70s you could pay for your college classes with a summer job, and people with minimum wage jobs could afford housing. Stop. Gaslighting. These. People. With. Toxic. Positivity.
Gen X / Xennial cusp here. I’m as dismal as everyone else. We’re fucked. I’m fucked. I’ve worked my ass off to get nothing. I have no hope and can’t figure out why I keep trying.
My future is uncertain, I have no end of life care, no insurance, no retirement, and no prospects.
Gaslighting? No. I do wish someone would leave the gas on in my apartment though.
You’re deluded. Climate change and global fascism on the rise. More slavery than ever. We’re not getting off this rock. Seas will rise, life will collapse and forests will burn. No one is coming to save us. The world is headed for annihilation unless Capitalism is abolished globally.
We’re at almost 100 comments, and so far only two mention capitalism. Capitalist realism is a fuck.
