Aye. I’m almost 30 now and I feel like I’ve gotten more radical rather than less.
Makes sense though. In the 30 years I’ve been around I can tangibly see ecosystems failing and the climate going haywire. And for what? Wealth inequality has gotten worse and the idea of owning a house is almost a pipe dream.
Meanwhile everyone’s getting more hateful. LGBTQ people, women, and minorities are having rights scrutinised and stripped away.
There’s war in Europe again. The gerontocracies are still going hard. The oceans are dying. The mummies are melting along the permafrost.
We lived through a pandemic, companies made record breaking profits, yet none went to workers. Everything is turning into subscriptions, we’re literally fighting to get to repair stuff we’ve bought. We are to own nothing and be happy about it.
Humanity, society… it’s all bullshit. Everything is bullshit.
I'm over 60 and not at all represented by these old motherfuckers. It's partly their age and partly their wealth -- they can't represent people who actually work for a living.
There are various theories of how age and term limits could limit this.
Here's my fantasy, which is just that.
Set up an AI unit that's been programmed to a 90 IQ level. If these assholes can't beat it in chess three times out of five -- or checkers for that matter -- enjoy the rest of your life on the porch.
Just a fantasy.
I love boomers shitting on boomers. Gives me hope
It was never about age, that was just another distraction. If old people, trans people, gay people, black people, Mexican people, democratic people, and all the rest are responsible, you won't have any attention left to pay the rich guy who's fault this actually is.
Time to munch some billionaires
Oh I wouldn't put that in my mouth, which says a lot given my proclivity for putting things in my mouth. I'd rather let the guillotine do its job.
