The world is in hell and getting worse with no chance of getting better personal freedoms going away in favor of slaving away at shitty jobs for little to no pay.How does one go on living knowing there's no chance for a better tomorrow? I'm legit asking
>>33781220If you see the poor oppressed in a district, and justice and rights denied, do not be surprised at such things; for one official is eyed by a higher one, and over them both are others higher still. The increase from the land is taken by all; the king himself profits from the fields.
>>33781220The period from 1950-2008 was unprecedented in human history and was never going to be sustainable.You go on living the same way as all your ancestors back to the pond creatures did. One day at a time, and with teeth gritted.
>>>>33781700>was never going to be sustainable.False.There where many other paths that didn't involve inporting the third world into the US and Europe.I admit the didn't sustain it, but they intentionally sabotaged thier own children, this wasn't an accident.Boomers genuinely resent thier own offspring.They think they are immortal golden teenagers, and activly sabotage everyone around them.
>>33781813To sustain a single boomer required an army of sweatshop workers, underpaid retail workers, waiters, croupiers, airline pilots, accountants, builders, plumbers etc.The McMansion lifestyle could only ever exist in the interim period between those industries being outsourced, and the economies of the exporters becoming developed.You cannot get out more than you put in, and expect the system to survive.
>>33781851They didn't have to be outsourced.Robots are a thing.
>>33781877The point I was driving at is that it seems pointless to specifically demonize boomers for being selfish. We'd have done the same in their position.There's no fight left in me tbqh, I feel nothing when I read the news or see economic figures.This is the collective outcome of our collective idiocy. I don't hate anyone but humanity in general.
>>33781889Boomers are uniquely selfish. Every fucking generation before and after, back into prehistory, want better for thier children.The actual difference was the literal lead in the air from gasoline, and all the spoiling rotten the federal government did on purpose. The rates of sociopathy is measureable higher in boomers. It's not even economic. The economic was a side effect.
>>33781700this. human history always had periods, often spanning centuries, where things got worse. it is extremely stupid thinking you deserve for things only to get better. you are a self conscious being in a world specifically evolved to suit your needs, to the point that animals (cattle) exist only to be consumed by you in an industrial manner, born to be slaughtered and packaged in a plastic box. When you die, you will be more likely to be born as one those animals, than as a human again.
>>33781933It's not that they must get better, it's that your parents should want it to get better, and shouldn't be why it got worse.
>>33781912They thought their gravy train would keep rolling forever, shit that sentiment only ended somewhere around the late 2010s.They thought that technology and science would soon offset and negate the requirement for perpetual economic growth that they created out of liberal fiscal policy.I'm quite sure any economists that tried to warn society about this were roundly boo'd off their podia.People are fucking stupid. People who have benefitted from good luck or unseen oppression will tend to think they arrived in this position out of sheer merit; that they fully deserve it. See any rich inheritor you've ever met.I wouldn't expect a boomer to admit liability for the coming collapse any more than I would expect a dog to admit liability for the death of the cow in its food.
>>33781937humans (as proven by democratic votes) would force billions of people into slavery or death if it meant even slightly better living conditions for themselves and their own family. you want to blame an entire generation for what they did to people that did not even exist yet when they lived their lives and made their choices? come the fuck on. we are just overintelligent animals who use creative ways to do the same shit as animals do: reproduction and trying to pass our genes as much as possible. there really is not more to life and the sooner you accept it the sooner you will be at peace
>>33782002This 100%.Angst doesn't dig us out the hole. Your parents and grandparents are vindicated by the culture in which they were raised, in my opinion.I remember the merest sliver of it in my childhood. People laughing about national debt as their wages outpaced inflation and their rent remained cheap.Alarmism being laughed off with allusions to luxury automated gay space communism.Maybe it was Roddenberry, fuck knows, but it didn't occur to anyone until quite recently that this whole thing is a Ponzi scheme, and one that is about to run out of new entrants.
>>33781220The only way I've found is to prepare for the collapse and do what you can to secure your position. Get some land, learn how to care for crops and livestock, buy a gun and prepare to live off the sweat of your brow for the day shit goes completely tits up. Odds are it won't come to that, but it's better to have a foundation to fall back on than to be completely blindsided and forced into a fucking labor camp by the select elite doing whatever they can to maintain their position of power over the masses.
>>33782109in my book best thing is still to impregnate as many women as possible. preferably, across different countries and continents. and hope your offspring will get lucky.unless you produce a big family of 20 with your wife, which can work as a militia, your gun and knowledge won't be worth shit
Made it through another day today, got to hear someone talking about how their borhter committed suicide because of the medical cuts coming next year, he was on some kind of anti depressant and had been for years but once those cuts hit he'd no longer be able to afford it so he opted to end himself while he still had his right mind.
>>33781220>How does one go on living knowing there's no chance for a better tomorrow?You have to live in such a way that honors the struggle of people who came before and the people who will come after. If you don't want to do this and rather romanticize your angst, it just means you're evil or still immature.
honoring the forefathers would be in essence the vengeful son angst is justified if SIEGE doctrine provides resultsyou think it's normal to be helpless?to escape the system?that's the cowards retreat to absurdism your fore-fathers are disgraced at the very history of 1913 lasting for over 100 years turning Sovereignty into a Totalitarian Empire
>>33781220Go gym, listen to metal, train mma to substitute the lack of affection you got from your dad. Basically distract yourself with positive shit. >>33781416Only injustices are against whites. “Muh injustices” are brown entitlements and privileges they feel they’re not getting in countries that are not theirs.
>>33781700It wasn’t sustainable because greedy boomers refused to let the market settle into itself and flooded countries with somalians and indians to keep prices high and wages low. Nothing more nothing less.
>>33781220boomers and gen x had that same mindset. No future and all. They all had it worse and better at the same time. I would lay off any news and media rehashing current thing, as it's often way overblown.
