Finally, almost an entire generation that recognizes playing the owner’s rigged game just makes you a sucker.
Subsist and save your entire life, conflating the pressure to be miserable living for rich owners who don’t care to know your name with being “responsible,” as they’ve propagandized most to believe, and for what?
If you don’t get hit by a bus or a tumor getting there, to be a withered husk in one of our many almost-dead communities, thrown away by family too busy playing the same rigged game you did to care for you? Sitting in front of a TV you can’t see clearly, too broken from work and time to do the things you always told yourself you’d get to do one day as your reward for studiously toiling for entitled sociopaths barking orders remotely from their lives of perpetual vacation that you were trained from Kindergarten to live most of your waking life for like a good lil’ doggy?
after the USSR fell they didn’t think they had anything to worry about and went whole hog on us, assuming we’d never break. unfortunately for them we’re getting closer and closer. I’d argue that we already have the base level of dissatisfaction necessary for a revolution, we just lack the organizing needed
It’s not their whole generation sadly. If you get on TikTok you’ll see plenty of gen Z with completely boomer, highly individualistic, analysis of some systemic issues going on right now.
I’m not sure how perfectly reflective tiktok is of the views of the generation as a whole. I know the meme is that gen z is “the tiktok generation” but you also have to distinguish users from creators, and also note the huge bias any one viewer has based on what tiktok decides to show them.

Yes.
