I definitely feel the resentment. Myself and much of our generation blames the gen xers and baby boomers for destroying the planet. But, climate change has been an inevitability since the industrial revolution. It's simply an inevitability of capitalism. That being said, it's not like the resentment isn't completely without warrant. Baby boomers at least got to prosper while the planet was plundered (at least here in America). They got cheap college, affordable housing, liveable wages, etc. us millennials grew up during 9/11 and the subsequent wars for oil in the middle east, we entered the job market just in time for the housing market crash, we're now in what's supposed to be our prime money making years and well... We all know how that's going.

And the zoomers, you all were born into a techno-hellscape. You were subjected to toxic social media from an early age (yeah you can definitely blame millennials for that one). And then fucking COVID, and now once again, entering the job market at a horrible time.

I guess the point of my rambling is, millennials, zoomers, we were both born into late stage capitalism, it's dystopian, and you're right to be angry about it. But maybe hopefully not all of that anger is pointed at us millennials, because I promise you, many of us are also angry with the same sad state of affairs.

Hang in there comrade.

It was already too late thirty years ago.

Don't worry, I've built up decades of frustration over the handling of the climate crisis. It would be great if we stopped voting the status quo into office.

Bro are you for fucking real w8th that comment?
