Yeah, that aerial image of puddles of blood at the detention facility don’t look too good

Thanks for your effort post.

However, disconnecting from reality is not a good strategy imo. Too many libs care more about brunch than about climate change which is partly why we’re so deep in shit.

You might be right about affordability of fringe high tech products and fashion, but at least four generations before us had almost guaranteed housing. Now, buying a house is impossible and renting is expensive as fuck. My financial situation is fine (luckily) but seeing people around me struggle does not make me feel great tbh.

The advice that helped me way more than any of the calendar mottos you had to offer was ‘get organized’ and ‘improve your behavior’. I joined a party and local mutual aid orgs, stopped eating meat, sold my car, and stopped flying. Now I’m at peace because I know, even if everything goes to shit, it’s not my fault and I did everything I could. Put me mentally in a very good place.

Shit sentiment tbh. The climate crisis has never been as bad, we’re also experiencing the fastest mass extinction event in history. Far right parties dismantle democracies around the world, there’s nowhere to go if you wanted to flee (besides, mass surveillance, border militarization and growing xenophobia made escaping much harder than it used to be). Life has rarely been as expensive as it is currently. So no, the world has never been as on fire as it is right now.

GenZ has fallen victim to car culture and commodification of literally everything. There are no places to go and many younger people never even knew different. Life’s only affordable or respectable in the 'burbs where there’s nothing to do and nowhere to go without a car. Meanwhile inner cities with intact structures are bulldozed for more car infrastructure or unusable because of traffic.

Everywhere people can go costs money. Even the internet is no commons any more, peer pressure pushes people into walled gardens where algorithms push brainrot.

You can’t blame the people being affected by our literally unlivable world. It’s been getting worse for some time now and in some aspects millennials had it worse than gen X who had it worse than the boomers. No single generation is to blame for losing the class war, however I hold every single person not fighting against the capitalist class accountable.

This is so true, especially since the Democatic party does the same things the GOP does, just a little more civil. The Biden admin sent bombs to Israel, persecuted striking workers and refused to codify Roe vs. Wade (amongst a ton of other things). Both parties are bought by billionaires and act in their interest, I don’t get how anyone could justify voting dems over third party

Also, since work and exploitation are interchangeable in Capitalism, this meme says “nobody wants to work anymore/Nobody wants to WORK anymore”. It’s nonsense.

not exactly sex work positive. Also, Bezos much rather owns the chuds. He does not entertain them
