So, despite this, you still hope that young people will do it better, not just differently.
I don’t see any significant differences in the political opinion of the younger people than in other age areas.
So if you’re waiting for the young generation to fix the problems the elder created, you’re waiting for Godot. -

And I think the problems caused by older generations are not that different from those they inherited. Similar things are not the same, but the existing differences are minor.

In my opinion, anyone who hopes that the younger generation will solve problems better than we did should try to pass on their experience to them more effectively than our parents did to us. The problem, as always, but especially now, is that the world is constantly changing. It's becoming increasingly difficult to prepare someone for the future.

@uweb @_RyekDarkener_ @MarkHoltom omfg. it wasnt our generation that invented the idea of it always getting better
frankly very few ever believed it and then only for a short time
the naive to pragmatic arc is dead also. kids are born pretty jaded now, if we look at the older kids its about the same. shits bleak and the kids know it.
and like seriously if anyone raised in the 40/50s thinks they grew up with the same problems I did can eat shit

@MarkHoltom Most of the incompetent elites were assassinated, and government was disbanded.
Just to flesh out the story a bit.
Yes, but everything affects everything that follows.
Translation from another post of mine today:...
And the stronger the polarization, the less many people question their own position, the means, the side effects, or the short- and long-term consequences.The faster and more intense a change is, the larger and more far-reaching the ripples it creates—regardless of one's own size. Nothing lasts forever, but nothing disappears completely either.

You can kiss my ass!
Even though you're thinking in the right direction, you're ignoring reality in favor of a truth that suits you. You're as arrogant and naive as young people always have been. Yes, also me. But you're obviously doing it even you know better. You think you can judge the times before you were born, but people living today, who view the world with more experience than you, wouldn't have a clue.

@uweb @glassresistor @_RyekDarkener_ @MarkHoltom This is the sort of banter that really gets us somewhere. Very productive. I know that boomers and Gen X aren't individually responsible, and often, have quite a bit of insight on a number of matters, but, on the other hand, are ignorant of the current hardships of younger generations, because they aren't living them. One thing is for sure, division between generations keeps us from looking up at the people really ruining our lives. The 1%.

@MarkHoltom the "elites" never tried stopping fascism though & in fact helped build the very tools of authoritarianism being lauded as problems now.

Listening is a virtue which has come out of fashion sadly. I hope society will reconsider.
