Yeah I remember being young and naive too
Congratulations. You're the favorite person of every oil company executive and petty dictator-wannabe. You think when the unions fought against child labor and 80+ hour work most people didn't think they were crazy?
That was different
The world was a different place, a smaller place... A company that fires all their workers goes broke in the 20's, in the modern day, there are enough hungry people who can be gaslit into "Pulling themselves up by their bootstraps"
At this point, don't try to change the world, just don't let it change you... as long as you can be less twisted than the world, you're doing okay for yourself.
Yeah, screw anyone who wants to try, right? It's better to have kids and then just tell them that they're doomed and laughed in their face.
You're the biggest whiner in this thread lmao.
We live in a world where I could be arrested or canceled for trying to contribute to it.
Go ahead, make a YouTube channel that tries to bring to awareness the evils of sexual assault. You will be accused of having something to hide by the audience and you will be screwed by the network when they make you use the weirdest and most awkward euphemisms to describe these heinous acts, meanwhile Penis Prager can say the N Word as long as his show keeps the lights on...
I'm 32, I am infertile, but that is for the best. The human race doesn't deserve to continue, I can only hope that reincarnation is real and that we can be reborn as something else, something that won't fuck it up quite so magnificently.
So just stupid then. The game is over dude.
Ok boomer
That phrase is past its expiration date, like many of the boomers.
