    It’s happening because young people are chronically online and feel like they’re constantly receiving “bad news,” she said. “It makes them feel like Armageddon.”

    It’s not rocket science, when a carton of eggs is inexplicably $12 it’s pretty fucking easy to figure out I’ll never own anything.

    This is backwards logic. The real world creates the panic and the internet is a reflection of it.

      The world could end and libs are going to call it Vibe-ageddon or the Vibepocslypse and blame it on the damn millenials on Tiktok before acknowledging reality.

      "People think the world is bad because of vibes, not material reality" is basically the one core talking point of neoliberalism, so I'm not surprised anytime any Western article about basically anything takes this line. Ignoring reality in favor of vibes based analysis is the core belief of neoliberalism.

      liberals continue to cling to the fantasy that ideas shape material reality more than material reality shapes ideas

      "People think the economy is bad just because they can go on the internet and talk to other people and it turns out nobody has any fucking money except 20 billionaires."
