And a rapist openly running on project 2025 would not be any "fucking" different?
Would it make my life and the lives of millions of other Americans easier by not having a target painted on our backs for probably as long as our country stands? (We'll probably never see another election again IMO) Yeah sure, that's why I voted for Khamala.
That being said she wasn't going to do anything to meaningfully stop the horrors of late stage capitalism. Either way I'm probably going to die by middle age in the climate wars.
Its just now that they'll happen even sooner, and now I have to worry about being put in a camp because of my prescription to estrogen.
Ones certainly worse, but neither actually seemingly give me the possibility of living a full and happy life. Even if I do make it to old age I'll be living in a dying world, clinging to whatever habitable sliver of earth I'd have the privilege of finding.
Honestly until we start being friendly and share cookies with the ghouls hiding behind the funds managed by Americas institutional investment firms which collectively own everything, I don't think we'll be solving anything.
And that alone should have been reason enough for anyone who actually gave even the slightest of shits.
Growing up is realizing you aren't going to win. But you can lessen harm.
Yeah except that for previous generations not "winning" wasn't an inherent global existential threat.
Its hard to be motivated when you know either way you're not getting the full life you where promised. Especially when the issue at hand is someone else's problem. (From the perspective of my cis Gen Z counterparts.)
I'm not saying its the right way to operate, I'm saying its how lots of people do naturally. Its unfortunately human, and its taken advantage of by design.
Its easy to keep people preoccupied when they're a weeks pay away from starvation.
And a lot of people are selfish hateful assholes who never actually cared about the social good and only ever wanted an adventure and for themselves to get ahead.
Gen z are not unique. Again, millennials and even boomers have stood where you stand.
As for a lack of a future? Millennials aren't that much older and we are just as fucked.
