Blame boomers.
The generation that invented participation trophies then started a culture war over them. The generation that espoused capitalism and made ever facet of human living and enjoyment cost money. The generation that destroyed privacy. The generation that destroyed the climate. The generation that believes resort towns in Mexico are more dangerous than large US cities. I could go on.
I grew up riding my bike across town as a teenager and being home by the time the street lights turned on. Kids these days don’t have that, and it’s showing.
- foverzar 4y ago> Blame boomers. Oh come on. Boomers are grand- or even sometimes grand-grand-parents at this point, with one foot in a grave at best. Zoomers are already building their careers and some even have babies. Stop kicking grandpa, at this point he can hardly be responsible for anything. Participation trophies were definitely a Gen X/Y thing - and it's not like any of them are less bloodthirsty capitalists. And somehow I'm pretty sure that Y/Z will fuck up the climate even more with the current "let's do something, whatever, I'm too nervous about this" attitude.
- orwin 4y agoWhat? Boomers were pretty much in power everywhere 30-20 years ago, when thing started changing for the worst, and are still in power in some western countries (US especially, but if you have something called 'senate' in your country, it's probably baby-boomer controlled too).
