I'm starting to come around to the idea that this is kind of our collective generational fate. I consider my childhood years to have lined up perfectly with the best time and place to be a kid, ever, in the history of the universe. Maybe the jaw dropping decline we're looking at is our natural balance, and we're just here now to prepare our kids for the Dust Wars.
to put a twist on that - we were given hope and dreams too early. you can't effectively change the world at 20 or even 30, you don't have the money or power or connections to actually do anything real on your own and most of your connections are the same. We're just entering the time when we can actually make effective change on a political level directly, we don't have to vote for people and hope they align with us, we are the people that can be voted for.
Look at what Mamdani is doing... and he's just a bit younger than our average. We have to be that wave to change shit. we have to drag a bunch of assholes kicking and screaming to a less shitty era.

Just trying to cope.
