The average millennial or gen z member has little to almost zero social supports, family members outside of their immediate parent(s), and potentially friends.
These people are ostracized from nearly all social institutions from their birth to adulthood, but they are still expected to somehow contribute to society at a level that their parents didn’t have to work at. The average member of gen z, k, or the millenial generation has to have an education, knowledge of how anything in their society works, and where to find and provide support for others, all while never being provided information on what the hell is going on past the internet which at this point is mostly propaganda, ai garbage, scams, advertisements, and misinformation.
Throw in that most educational institutions are underfunded (often deliberately), don’t provide relevant information on what the fuck is going on at any time, and sometimes fail to do so little as get people literate and your stuck with several generations of people that have been largely abondoned by the people that need them to suddenly become caregivers to support them in old age. I can see why there are so many illiterate man children my age fucking everyone and what I said are just the start of the problems.
>>2199605Maybe, but I’m not seeing it.
The average college student can barely read at an elementary level. Besides, what good is all that knowledge if these people have trash social skills, horrible issues with concentration, and a terrible understanding of their immediate surroundings. The sheer number of people coming up today with symptoms of chronic ADHD, schizophrenia, dissociation, and other hypofrontality-related disorders is far higher today than in the past for reasons unrelated to changes in diagnostic practice.
Our society is setting future generations up to fail in life horribly even with all the tech and education available to them.
>>2199610>I’m not seeing itAgain, Anecdotal fallacy.
>Besides, what good is all that knowledge if these people have trash social skills, horrible issues with concentrationSurvival
>and a terrible understanding of their immediate surroundingsThey seem to be the most aware
>Our society is setting future generations up to fail in life horribly even with all the tech and education available to themBecause said society decided it wasn’t getting enough profits.
>>2199613Not really. Again, the internet and many news networks are full of so much misinformation and bad faith narratives that they largely aren’t reliable sources to gather information on anything. The worst offenders of misinforming the public are usually the most popular news networks. Just look at the abomination that is American news when you’re having headlines of people convinced of pseudoscience, conspiracy theories about secrete societies and occultism, and constant fears over false flag attacks.
I wish I could say that most of the planet is better but it really isn’t when you’re having reports of Indian men beliving that their genitals are receding into their tummies or Buddhist nazism running rampant throughout Europe.
>>2199605>>2199613>>2199617Conspiracy theories was the norm far more back in the old days.
Also, people were less literate.
>>2199610The problem is that society actively bars the youth from worldly affairs.
>>2199632Most adults always complain about how society is youth oriented and there aren't many things for adults.
It's the other way around. Kids are over-policed and pathologised for any slight nuances or transgression.
>>2199710"Welcome to the real world!"
"A man gets it on his own, without help"
"The worst thing a man can do is ask for help"
"You only have yourself in this world, be a man about it"
Welcome to the deep south
>>2199713Man this is some third world living condition except in the third world there is a social network that can compensate for this
No wonder american soldiers are just psycho all the time
>>2199689Oh for sure socializing was important, but it's not exactly like there were people outside to socialize
with. Either folks were driving in their cars or it was people well beyond my own age group.
I'm not joking when I say that, outside of school, things like MMOs and online forums were probably a massive source of social interaction for me. "JUST GO OUTSIDE" doesn't mean jack shit when you're a kid without even an allowance. No bike (granted I'd probably get killed on some of the streets here) and no money, and it seemed like most if all the places around me were liquor stores and tobacco shops.
Spent most of my time going to my church. At least there it was quiet, cool, and I could sit down somewhere.
>>2199600There's a similar phenomen to american boomerism in post-socialist eastern europe, where say those born till 1970 still had it kinda good because they got to experience the social security of real socialism and are (the older they are) more out of touch how things behave. They are also mostly responsible for the political inertia that has developed with bourgeois democracies since they vote based on vibes and their economic instincts are always paid by others, so they vote for those most reactionary.
Anyway, I'm not to fond of generationalism, but there is a clear generational shock that those born 1970-1980 felt and made them (in a very broad sense) 'schizophrenic' socially. I never looked into it, but I'd wager that most suicides are in this cohort. They're the lost generation. Those experiencing the counterrevolution, having their future stolen, then living under neoliberalism and probably going to be middle aged once some social revolution erupts. It is the worst of times.
Those born from 1990 onwards are just children of neoliberalism.
>>2200021 I echo this description. We really have no referential point of social organization
except neoliberalism. But I think this is good. Most of us have absolutely no ties to the past. We're not burdened with tumors of history. Without guidance most will lapse into nihilism/neobuddhism/antihuman spinozism, some turn 'hyper-schizophrenic' (I hate using psychological parallales but I'm lacking words to describe the phenomen of isolated individuals falling for conspiratorial thinking and holding extreme, ecclectical political combinations), and some turn communist. We should exploit the fact that the orphans of history are blank slates and aggresively agitate for communist demands. We have more to gain than to lose.
>>2199786To some degree, people in the periphery or even in Europe outside of the settler-states don't get how fucked our countries are. Maybe Bongland is similar because of the former British Empire. It's just weird, weirdness. IDK how to explain. The whole country is a cult.

>>2200286No it's not, Landback is ultimately nothing more than scheme by the bourgeoisie in order to seize federal land and they are using the natives as pawns in their scheme.
>>2200133>>2200267You're part of the problem. Stop blaming the white american working class for what happened. It wasn't white people as a whole who did it; The people who caused the native genocide in the first place were landed gentry, monarchs and nobles.
t pic related.
>>2200293>No it's not, Landback is ultimately nothing more than scheme by the bourgeoisie in order to seize federal land and they are using the natives as pawns in their scheme.Land back is in constant conflict with the bourgeoisie precisely
against appropriating land for capital (an ongoing process), most obviously with the pipeline shit. You are a retard spouting nonsense that is not only false but literally backwards.
>>2200352I'm not trying to blame you for the actions of your ancestors, I think its funny that Americans are surprised that their lives continue to get worse because you think your government actually cares about you. Nothing has changed at all, its the same people in power who killed all the natives, they never cared about you even once.
>>2200355VPN Moment, also no need to spy on me.
