Holy shit people under capitalism are fucking evil towards the most vulnerable people.

How many boomers are losing their shit over kids committing petty crimes is insane.

You'd think they'd click that it's because of poverty and, you know, there being NO FUCKING FUTURE.

But no, old people are screeching about how kids are little shits that need to be punished even more. They want to just arrest everyone and create career criminals instead of solving the real root causes behind it (poverty, capitalism, lack of society caring about their problems).

They act as though this was caused because "people are too nice to their kids now."

Holy shit, are you joking?

These poor fucking kids man.

I hate that the media can just heard old people like this, stop them from seeing issues created by powerful adults by attacking literal children.

It's the most obvious fash propaganda technique and yet they fall for this kind of shit all the time

Society has been turned into child sacrificing monsters, what hope so we have of a better future if THIS is what the people with the most power believe.

A species that eats its own children is doomed to extincton.

    Everytime I hear people start to say "young people these days [insert wildly dumb generalization about youth]"

    ...in the fourth century BC, Plato was heard to remark: "What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets, inflamed with wild notions..."

    Not minimizing how annoying this is, but it's not exactly new. Old people have been doing the 'shake stick and yell at kids' for millenia now
