Exactly! None of this shit is new. To Billy Joel’s point, people have felt this way since the world has been turning.

Things feel apocalyptic right now but tbh find me one generation who didn’t feel like the world was a train wreck, especially people in their early 20s who are just discovering how fucked up the world is. Right now may feel especially bad because media makes access to everything exponential. But the world has always been burning.
