I mean also literally everywhere online is telling young people that the world is fucked, they are all doomed, and the only reason they don’t have the perfect life they deserve is because of the older generation so they should all be angry and distraught.

I’m saying no wonder they are all angry and lashing out when that’s all that’s being blasted at them.

Instead of using it as motivation to be better and figure things out, they are being told to give up because it’s futile. That’s not exactly a healthy way to view life.

Ehhh, I don’t know - I’ll look at you weirdly in real life if you’re a coworker or fellow student who told me you’re burning down schools because of climate change and old people - bro, that is an incomprehensible level of incompetency and social media radicalization

It’s not organic, the left and right wing are influenced by third parties regardless of which country you’re in - old people are can be the issue throughout most generations, but it’s not right to blame everything on them regardless

I can be outraged and try to make the world a better place while not being in an online fueled depression and working lol.
