Huzzah!

Pfft 41% of voters were below 50 last election. They ignored millenials for so long because every sector was. Boomers don’t have the ability to hand power to the next generation, raise the next generation to handle responsibilities, or pass on the knowledge to handle things when they are gone.

Boomers raised kids like pets, offered no assistance to begin careers or families, and offered little actionable advice. They received assistance from their parents and grandparents in these ways. But then forgot they received help and were supposed to help future generations after them. They still complain about those “millenial kids” because they forget that time passes and the youngest millenial is over 30 now.

You responding to the wrong comment? Or just didn’t read what I wrote and made your own random comment under mine?

Soooo… reservation for 1 at the end times diner?

Right, because they claim the things they REALLY do. Pfft.

I think you are making a lot of good points here, but in a really, “I’m just a simple country farmer” sorta tone. We didn’t get here on accident. When I was young Obama ran for office and he is consistently still the youngest political figure we see doing anything. We have systemically leaned into old white men so hard in the last ten years that it feels like a joke.

The age of our politicians has begun to skyrocket. The AVERAGE senators should not be 64 years old, I don’t think a single American would argue it should be. But it is.

That assumes we educate gen beta, with no time, money, resources, or fucking example to go off. So yeah, don’t hold your breath that a magic future generation will both A understand the economic climate that professional economists struggle to explain, and B have a willingness to help poor people once you are in the “I’m so smart and handsome and God even loves me more than anyone poor” pipeline they shove you down.

“The poll found that 36% of respondents 18-29 agree that “political involvement rarely has any tangible results” – up from 22% who felt that way in 2018. Those who agree that “I don’t believe my vote will make a real difference” went to 42% in the current poll, an increase from 31% in 2018. And well more than half – 56% – believe that “politics today are no longer able to meet the challenges our country is facing,” up from 45% who felt that way in 2018.” https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2022-04-25/youth-losing-faith-in-politics-poll Took me two minutes on Google to see the MASSIVE difference between young people being disengaged in every political cycle and what is happening now.

While you have laid this all at the feet of change a generation has to deal with. I would argue that it is the complete lack of change that drives this. You can see the massive shift we are having where political power has only the use of enriching the individual. Senators gets bribes and we get a worse country, repeat. But the amount that younger generations have been invited into this inner circle of bribed law makers, rich people, and those tasked with penning the actual laws has swiftly moved to almost zero. You are not welcome in politics if you are young, and until you get older, jaded, and much more willing to take bribes at the cost of your convictions, we don’t need you.

The idea that gen z gives a shit at all is honestly astounding. Like imagine growing up, and your parents never had the power to do anything positive for the country. Your grandparents are running the family business, and no one is ready to take over when grandpa dies, because they didn’t want to prepare tge world to go on without them. They wanted tge world to crash and burn when they die so that everyone will know they were needed.

At least that is the perspective of someone who first voted for Obama and change. And all I got was dead brown people in the middle east at ever increasing rates.

Honestly as a left leaning American, it looks like the plan of massive non-white genocide that the old white people love is continuing swimmingly. And will probably continue to as long as tge only path for a young person to power is boot licking or nepotism.

What? They have had periods of high interest and low interest. It has never been illegal to be a member lol

Being a member of the kkk being illegal in America, pfft, who would arrest you? The cop in the hood next to you? Lol

And there are millions of people lining up for jobs that suck that LITTLE to work at. That is how our world functions. It chews people up and spits them out.

Funny how much we hear about it in the video game industry, but every school closure loses teachers. Every hospital lay off looses nurses. Every time capitalism grinds people into dust, those people are dust now.

You’ll need to watch YouTube videos and transcribe it yourself I imagine.

It makes sense if you consider that mass without outside forces forms a sphere. If you have enough atoms you get a sphere, and if you only have two they will circle eachother. Two hydrogen atoms are two spheres of neutrons and protons being circled by an electron circling eachother. It’s circles all tge way down.

This, but my one thing is capitalism.

Carful, you start looking at areas of our society that don’t make any sense as an economic vehicle, and you might start advocating for giving food to people who are hungry and houses to people on the street!

Hire as many hitmen as I can to kill the wealthiest people. But we would have to keep doing it, and it wouldn’t dissuade anyone from hording money…so?

It is fiction that pretends he was a great person, I wouldn’t doubt how bad it is.

“Military people” can refer to two groups, people who served, and people who make their lives and identities supporting the military. So the pro military people are who Trump likes. People who served? Doesn’t mean anything one way or the other to the man.

Fuck that graph is depressing.

Wish I had received billions in voting power when I was born. But alas, if I had my brain would be broken and I would be incapable of empathy. Such is the way of inevitable destruction for humans.
