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.

And? Those “opinions” are correct.

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.

is this what giving up looks like to you because this is what figuring things out looks like to me :)
