Youth will bring capitalism to the ground! Abolish

Lost_My_Mind ,

Here’s the thing. This isn’t a generational thing. People of all ages, at all points in time were unhappy. The difference is, I’m in my 40s, and I don’t sit there and tell everyone who asks if I’m unhappy.

“Hey, how are you?”

“Good.”

And then everyone moves on with their life. Doesn’t mean I’m doing good. I just know that nobody gives a shit that I’m not doing ok, and never have been doing good mentally.

Whereas younger people haven’t figured out yet that all their friends will eventually betray them, all their love interests will eventually leave them, happyness is a myth, and that we all die depressed and alone. So younger people are more vocal, thinking it’s going to change something.

Holy shit that’s even doomy-er than me, and I very much doubt that I will ever be able to afford to retire and am skeptical that society is going to last long enough for that to be a meaningful concern.

We live in a world where you’re designed to fail, and yet suicide is thought of as selfish, and wrong, and you’re an asshole if you’re comfortable with the idea of people doing it.

All so a very select few, who have in no way earned it, get to hoard all the worlds wealth. While modern day slavery not only exists, but is promoted within these circles. Just yesterday there was a post on Lemmy about how some CEO thinks that Gen Z should work long hours, doing anything their asked, all for free. So people on Lemmy make their jokes, and nothing is solved. That woman still fully believes she’s entitled to slave labor. Other CEOs will use slave labor in other countries, because those countries don’t have any kinds of protections in place to protect humans from that type of behavior. These people will fully use and abuse those under them, for FUN. They don’t even need to get a financial benefit for it. Just the fact that they can treat people like dirt, and face no reprocussions, is enough to get their jollies off.

And it’s not new. This has been happening for centures. It will keep happening for MORE centuries. And all this talk about “Vote for this guy, vote for that guy” ultimately doesn’t do much since the politicians don’t have any real power anyways. Good or bad, all these “plans” politicians talk about are just that…plans. Plans that never come to pass. I can remember Bill Clinton saying in 1991 that he would be open to reevaluating how marijuanna in this country is handled from a legal perspective. If he had made it legal, MILLIONS of citizens (and no, I’m not exaggerating) wouldn’t have criminal records. Police in this country are trained to look for people who can’t legally defend themselves, and create a problem that puts them in jail. Where you’re legally a slave. Again, not exaggerating. It’s literally how the 13th amendment is worded. Slavery is legal if you become a prisoner to the state.

And so with all of this happening in the world, your first thought is “Ok, so how do we change it?” and that’s the part that no one is willing to admit. You DON’T change it. You have no power. You never did. You’re voting on an election for a person who either way doesn’t have power. It’s the way this country, and every other country has been set up for longer than any of us have been alive. The world is, and always has been, designed around the profit of others suffering. So it will continue until long past your dying breath. This is the system working as intended. Nothing is wrong in the eyes of those who run things…other than they want more of what little you do have.

That the “newer” generations insist on dealing with the things fucking them over and making them unhappy is completely destructive to your “point”.

You do nothing so you get no benefit. Quelle surprise, you still have no point. So you lie and avoid the question/subject or you suffer in silence like a regular person/drunk in Russia?

Sage advice, so glad for this contribution. You’re officially part of the problem the moment you start implying others should lower their standards cuz you win the olympics of suffering.

Lost_My_Mind ,

You seem to be missing the point of what I’m saying. I’m saying that younger people are recorded as suffering. Whereas older people aren’t recorded as suffering. So the numbers show younger people are suffering in greater numbers than older people…when that’s not the case at all. The older people just don’t say anything, and therefore there’s no record of it.

It doesn’t matter what anybodys standards are. Higher, lower, doesn’t matter. We all end up in the ground.

I totally get why this comment is downvoted

Lost_My_Mind ,

Because people don’t want to admit that we live in a world, and always have, and always will, where human suffering is profitable to those in control.

Unfortunately this analysis is a year over year comparison over the same age groups, not an age over age comparison in the same year. So your claim would not apply in this case.

Lost_My_Mind ,

Doesn’t matter. I’m talking about an age group. Just like 7 year old boys will always love trains. Doesn’t matter if that boy is 7 in 1921, 1945, 2002, 2024, 7 year olds will always love trains.

And everybody, regardless of age, will be miserable. It’s just that when your younger, you’re more vocal. When you’re older you realize you’re not changing shit. So just do what you can instead.
