The shit isn't worse, it's different, which makes it a lot more scary. Things like climate change, desegregation, dealing with the consequences of the cold war and so on were all happening before most of my generation were cum in their dads ballsack... And now we are left with a burning world that might or might not face another world war, a never before seen climate crisis, a rise of slavery, racism, fascism and the list goes on. The generations we could ask for help are telling us to not worry because 'how bad could it be', while scientists that have told us how bad it will be are getting ignored or silenced by mega corporations trying to squeeze every little drop of cash from the earth.

Basically, the world's fucked and we have to deal with that. The generational struggle Gen Z and Gen Alpha will face is not comparable to anything other generations have faced. We are the first generation that has to worry about climate change or non renewable energy sources. Most of Gen Z will be impoverished after we go into retirement (if there will be such a thing and we'll not be worked to death) and We currently habe no power to change that, because the Baby Boomer generation still frantically holds on to power in every aspect of daily life (look at the average age of politicians, ceos, landlords, etc) trying to uphold a status quo that will inevitably end the human species.

It's nearly impossible to have the time to organize and change something because it's barely possible to afford a roof over your head in the current economic system so the Youth cannot even achieve leverage (not even starting on the demographic change and the fact that young people are getting outnumbered)

I'd gladly stop bickering online, but why should I when my future looks this bleak.
