Look if you ever reach the point of muttering about "Kids these days" and it's not about how they all suck at Counter Strike you are lost. Utterly lost. The spirit of humanity has died within you and is rotting. The kids will be fine. The kids have always been fine. There has never been a generation of The Kids in history that was truly weirder than their parents.
Couldn't be. I'm the bees knees. I'm a hep cat. I'm the darb to all the dames down at the juice joint. Got my glad rags on, giggle water in hand, putting on the ritz so i can meet a nice sheba and go neck in the coatroom.
Material conditions or alternatively, were they ever that cool?
I have a theory that for many people, the youth-leftist thing isn't based in solidarity or whatever, it's based in self-interest - across generations. Makes sense to be a socialist, when you're poor, and all. As the survivors gain their riches, they get more conservative - they have property to "defend" now. They were always self-serving people, it's just they were occasionally in a position where that meant to be vaguely left.

Yeah wouldn't necessarily blame all this on people being ontologically "self-serving" from the beginning, thats liberal moralistic thinking. A shift towards cuckservativism its just an inevitable consequence of gaining wealth and property within a capitalist society. They weren't born selfish, they became selfish after years of indoctrination and falling into a position that strongly incentivises it.

You say that until you get dabbed on by the skibidi rizzler

The phrase "ritz rizzler" just entered my brain and now you have to think about it.

I don't think judging a generation by those who survived is fair. The cool people tend to die earlier

I do not get this comment, could you be more direct?

And I'd believe you, I don't think nobody helps others out of the good of their heart or whatever. Those people exist, loads of them are here.
I'm saying, when you get into generational views, it might not hold up for a large amount for them.
