Holy shit and I thought millennials and Gen X had it bad with how corporate our toys were.

I hate to be that person that's like "omg what kids like these days is poisoning them!" Especially because I come from the Mortal Kombat generation, but between Mr Beast, social media and shit like Roblox turning every hobby into a hussle I have to wonder what effect this will have on them.

Capitalism preying on kids was bad enough when I was a kid in the 90s and 00s (and from what I've seen from 80s cartoons, the generation before mine was pretty bad too), but it's a whole other level now.

Collapse is hitting hard and is only going to get worse though, so it is possible they'll go left.

either going to be the most capitalist generation or they're going to rebel against capitalism hard

I think it will be a mix of both. But I'm not sure that the number of anti-capitalists will be enough to throw off our chains.
