like most people, a significant part of my childhood consisted of old senile farts telling me i have to toughen up cause life is harsh. however, now that i look at it, i dont understand what the fuck they were talking about and i think our generation has it way harder than the previous ones.

most old farts lived either in the USA cold war bloc where they had:

• social democracy (with resources from the global south of course) where you could afford a home on one income with several kids
• post WW2 rebound woke
• post civil rights rebound woke
• sexual liberation (first in their entire bloodline to have an actually enjoyable orgasm)
• easy job market
• easy to find a spouse
• socializing was easy
• abundance of consumer products

old farts in the communist bloc had:

• socialist system with secure housing, free health care, free education
• low misogyny
• got rewarded by the state to have kids in many cases
• easy to get married
• socializing was easy, society was warm and high trust
• generally woke and discouraged antisocial behaviours and fascism

our generation has:

• WORST job market ever seen
• healthcare super expensive
• late stage capitalism pushes for extreme gender division, women and men hate each other so no marriage for most of us
• no sex for most of us either
• everything expensive
• loneliness epidemic
• far right sentiment at its peak
• we are constantly recorded and posted online without our consent

(to be fair most old people lived through sort of war/drafting situation but i will die before i respect the military)

our generation has it way harder because we live in end stage capitalism... what exactly were they warning us about?

americans always spew bullshit about how kids in socialist states are/were indoctrinated to snitch on their parents and they say that every single apartment in north korea is bugged but now theyre basically doing a genre of surveillance beyond any of that stupid propaganda.

they have to record EVERYTHING. they record strangers in their own homes. they record homeless people. they record strangers without their consent. they have no boundaries to recording whatsoever.

one of the only benefits to american tourists in europe is that they fuck around and record people without their consent and get told off.

recently a young boy in japan was murdered by his step dad (r.i.p to him) and you will never guess what reactionaries said when the news of the murder came out. it had to be a migrant, it had to be black. and of course, no apology to the communities wrongfully slandered.

and even when a criminal with minority background commits a crime, why must all be slandered for it?

its just a constant terror. why must i fear for my life because a random individual did a crime.

im tired of dealing with racism in general.

mainstream media still reports trumps war actions as if its to cover up the files and it drives me crazy !! its not about the files, its about resources and capital...

its not a secret that the US invades countries for oil so i dont get why its so hard. bombing nigeria wasnt about ”protecting christianity” they have oil. theyre not pushing the uyghur genocide because its true, xinjiang has natural gas and they want to control the area.

the majority of people in my area are either lib or conservative and very few are socialists and it sucks so bad because u feel politically isolated. im trying to be a bit more permissive and not get upset when my normie friends say some bullshit i know is wrong but i sometimes go days on end without talking to people about these things and it sucks...

the guy he got replaced with is also a fascistic piece of shit. so many libbies are celebrating this when the guy is also THEIR enemy because he is a conservative anti immigrant type who hates the LGBT
