A lot of the conversations we have today are the same that people have been having for generations. It still seems anachronistic to read sometimes though.
Tbf these days those gripes are more valid than they have ever been. The children are mindless robots who commit crimes just to broadcast it on tiktok. The politicians are turning into literal nazis and wrecking the country on every feasible level. And “no one wants to work” not because of the tiresome nature of the grind, but rather because we are working for less buying power than what 12 year old child laborers had in the 50s. Not to mention the environment is going to shit for the benefit of a handful of people, and were all probably gonna die in one horrific natural disaster or another
Good points. I’m still not going to blame the kids for being put into this environment that influences them to do things. Children tend not to be bad at the start, they just learn that behavior. Just like racism or other terrible things. And the phrase “No one wants to work” is usually best followed by things like “in these conditions” or “for little compensation”. Damn right.
I was watching something from the late 60s the other day, and there was a line by a young actress explaining that young people don’t think there will be a future for them and are living accordingly.
It was the exact same sentiment you would expect to see while doom-scrolling today.
Basically every generation since the boomers had valid reason to believe WWIII would end us all. Everyones got nukes, and humans are stupid enough to use them!
Some degree of regression is less a matter of if than when unless our species can get its shit together. Look how hard COVID hit many parts of the world. While bad, it could easily have been much more serious. Imagine what the world would have looked like then.

Like complaining about how children act, or how no one wants to work anymore. Or how the politicians have lost their minds.
