Plastic, the patriot act, the Iraq war, AI, the internet, social media, I managed to avoid all platforms except Facebook which my spouse talked me into after months of trying to get me to join and finally deleted it recently, I kind of just hate tech in general, the never ending cycle of “upgrades” that actually make your life significantly shittier, competition, gender roles, giant SUVs, porn, extremely exotic pets, Tesla (test drove a high end model when it first came out and said it was like eating cafeteria food off a really nice tray and didn’t buy it) I’m sure plenty more… as an elder millennial the rise of the 21st century has just been so incredibly disappointing and shallow.
Many of these things and one aspect in common, they rely on either appearances or "trust me bro" level of empty promises. I was always told I was too skeptical and untrustful, but maybe it's people that trust too much what a salesman is selling you. I'm of the idea that the good things are the one you discover snd enjoy, not the ones that announce to the whole world how awesome they are.
