I despise the mentality “the next generation will save us!”
I can’t imagine anything more cynical, ignorant, or cowardly than squandering the childrens’ future via hysterical overconsumption then making them responsible for pulling out of the death spiral.
As a millennial I’m personally stoked to work alongside Zoomers. We can like… actually talk to them about problems and they listen to us! It’s surreal!
Wish I was aware enough in '08 to have noticed "change you can believe in" immediately resort to neoliberalism with oh bummer characteristics. I'm starting to think that the Christmanist take that Obama is a huge narcissist is correct. He really is just totally self obsessed, trying to channel a fundamentally settler politics through his own personhood to achieve apotheosis.
Damn. Obama doing a drill was less funny than I thought it would be :(
