I'm sure the cost was high, they never had a normal childhood and were undoubtedly exposed to negligent and dangerous adults in the industry. But they'll never want for anything in their lives and neither will their families.

I'm not sure if I should envy them or feel sorry for them.

I don't envy them at all. They were also exposed to sickos on the internet in the early 2000s who created countdown clocks until they were 18 or publicly fantasized about them while they were underage. It was so gross. That's when we should have learned the internet was not the utopia we thought it would be.

I mean... I was online in 96 and utopia is not a word that ever crossed my mind. And that was before all the cyberpunk literature I then read.

I'd rather be angry than poor in the US.

Why not both? Then you can be a maga NPC.

Tons of impoverished americans arent magats and are still angry. We live in a shithole, we should be angry. What are you trying to say by this?

[-] drhodl@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago

Magats are in the ascendancy right now, in case you weren't watching. Those others are just standing back and taking it....

[-] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Hahaha. Okay. Plenty are organizing in one capacity or another. Poverty teaches you the importance of community very quickly.
