We're in the first third of a generational transition phase, which happens throughout history all the time. The changes over the next few years will take a generation to remediate. Which, at that point, means the goal is not "going back" to something remembered, but seeking stability based on the context of 16-25 year-olds that are kids now who will need that stability to build on to survive. The Olds won't be in any shape to rebuild anything.

The boomers will almost all be dead. I assume.

Ah right, here's to that 🍻

They had their shot, and this is what they did with it. I agree, but just because they're our parents doesn't mean their generation made good decisions.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh noooo no no no. Totally not what I'm saying. Their generation fucked us. For sure.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I agree 100%, that's what I'm saying. Don't let the compassion for your family overwhelm your rational thoughts that confirm Boomers have fucked Earth royally. Millennials aren't far behind (said as one).

Right, I wasn't. I was just saying I love ma moms and I don't want her to die ever, but that generation needs to go for the betterment of mankind, hopefully. (Probably not though.)

Yeah, and I feel exactly the same way.
