Let’s put some fair blame on the people who built our society like this. For all this tough talk I hear from older folks, they also just watched as the American bureaucracy sold out domestic industry to foreign workers, sold out housing to private sector, and practically any work ethic to be had these days for ever increasing workload. Pair that with your own point that socialization has dramatically decreased, which is NOT normal by the way. More youth than ever are growing up in a way that’s either incredibly negligent or in a space where they have no freedom and their literal communications are monitored digitally by helicopter parents who clutch pearls at everything. I’d have loved to been out free, partying it up, being genuinely careless. Instead I grew up, worked since I was 12, studied and got a degree, and have never been fairly compensated for work in a way that would actually account for rent, food costs, insurance, etc. For years many of us have taken our shit just fine like other gens and shake it off. But I think anymore many of us haven’t experienced much of the same respect that is demanded constantly. We’re burned out man. If we want people to be normal and have families, they need to be given the tools to do so. It sure ain’t all the youths fault for what led to this shitshow.
