    You’re right, young people nowadays are always complaining and do not know the meaning of sacrifice, resilience and endurance. They should be grateful for what they were given and should have been wise enough to leverage it in order to achieve an even better living than their parents who didn’t have the chance to even get proper education…

      Absolutely meaningless when the end result is death. We do not benefit from our sacrifice, resilience and endurance. Our bosses do. Our landlords. Our government. I get a pittance to maybe survive another week until Death.

      Previous generations gaslit themselves thinking all their hard work and perseverance would reward them in the afterlife but we have proven that that is a fucking lie and probably why religion was invented so the peasants would keep working.

      And you expect me to be grateful to be a fucking slave to the billionaires?! Fuck you.

        Nobody expects you to do anything. Just don’t expect anything in return and you’re golden.

        BTW, you sound like me in the 80s. And that’s not meant as an insult or something, it’s just an observation. I’m curious if that says something about the economic & society cycle and where we are in it.

          I was born in the 80s. So I got to see “the peak” of everything come tumbling down, right around I became an adult.

          There was a time that hard work could pay off, I’ve seent it. That’s the worse. To know that things can be better, has been but was snatched away before I had a chance to start the fucking game. I’m not smart enough to “learn 2 code” I’ve fucking tried.

          I’ve already sacrificed a lot, I had to reboot my life from scratch three times already. I’m too fucking old to just “try again”, and I refuse to live in a tent or my car. That’s not living that’s survival and what is the point of that, so the billionaires can leech off my labor a few more years til health problems or a crazy person takes me out? Fuck everything about that shit.

      Hahaha, that’s not what I’m saying but if you want to take it like that, be my guest.

      I’m saying shits fucked y’all. I’m also saying that it always has been.

      The grass wasn’t greener back then. Just a different shade of brown. Housing was better, a lot else was way worse.
