I can't help but think that some of that tendency is from people who lived a more "hedonistic" lifestyle in their youth who then discovered out that it isn't really fulfilling in the long run (due to capitalism but they don't see that) so they then turn around and blame their "foolish youth" for why they feel unhappy and unfulfilled in adulthood. Then it's just a simple step to "warning" currently young people about the "dangers" of weed or whatever.
perhaps, but living simply for pleasure doesn't really allow one to achieve anything. Lots of pleasure requires hard work to achieve, but is that pleasure equal to the labor put in? so life goals may be an illusion, but pursuing goals is not.
hmm. imo the d e g e n e r a t e police are/were ressentiment filled kids who didn't get girls or do drugs, and their political orientation was just a big cope/batch of sour grapes.

I mean, pure hedonism is an untenable lifestyle in general, not just under capitalism.
Disagree, life goals are a spook

ah, okay.
"life goals are a spook" is a spook
This is the correct answer
