Varsha, a 22-year-old arts and law student, says that the older generations think gen Z is weak, but the realities of the cost of living crisis, climate crisis, global unrest and social media make her 20s a game of survival.
I wouldn’t have the issue of hoarding things like her, as I would never be able to afford them in the first place.
I know boomers tend to have terminal foot in mouth disease and the emotional maturity of housecats but that response is fucking psychopathic
No war but class war.
This idea of boomers typically being emotional immature resonates with me and my life experience, but do you have any ideas why that’s the case? I’ve ruminated on it a lot. I suspect less job competition could be a factor? Lower stakes in life and the ability to be less self censoring maybe? I hear so many of them say fucked up stuff and generally be very unserious. See no incentive to understand the world their kids live in etc. I had to work so fucking hard just to be able to rent my own place and get out of share housing and they didn’t have any trouble like that, but act like I just don’t work hard enough.
Raised post-war, traumatised to fuck, shitloads of lead exposure and then told therapy meant you were crazy
Just remember that these are the out-of-touch people who we are voting into government.
Boomers are assholes. Not all of them, but most. Selfish fucks.
I think, in general, people assume younger folks have the same material conditions as them at that age (or better). There’s a pervasive belief that we’re progressing.
They don’t grokk that essentials have risen while toys have dropped in price.
Ooooo you have a fancy phooone must be nice you can get multiple fcking iphones for a single months rent of a mould riddled single room shitshack ya cunt

The correct response to “I have too much stuff” is “I/we can fix that for you”

This is the sort of thing someone says when they have nothing to say but feel like they should say something. Sort of like being 200 words short in a 500 word essay.
