Is a age that is both full of, and devoid of opportunities. I feel like being a adult is just lying about how much you have your shit together to people who also lie about having their shit together. After we got out of college, we are just going to sit in front of a computer like the generations before us for the rest of our life, with the only difference of be paided less then them. I don’t want to be like this. I want my life to be more then this. I want to go out explore and change the world. When we gen z first comes to high school the world seems full of opportunities, we imagine us achieving great things, but not one of us could have imagined the entire generation having a mid-life crisis at the age of 18.

To all the Gen Z, and in the future, Gen Alpha. Welcome to the 2020s, welcome to late stage captalism.

    Show me how a comment on the Web can disallow them anything.

    By the way, neither can any of yours

      I worded that badly, what I meant was just because humans in the past have had it worse, doesn’t mean OP can’t criticise current problems

        OP doesn’t criticize current problems. OP criticizes American median level of life being a bit worse than their parents’ generation, while it’s still obscenely good for most of the planet (for which levels of life have also taken a hit). While the current problems (of the “mass murder, robbery, theft, erasure of heritage, historical revisionism and tyranny” kinds) OP doesn’t even hear about apparently.

          In that case you should never complain about anything ever again on the internet because other people on the otherside of the world have it worse than you

            No, what I said is not what you are trying to make it seem, it’s that the OP complains about wrong things of what he can complain about.

            And no, you are not smart to attempt this kind of cheating, you are robbing yourself and winning nothing.
