    the weirdest is the Gen Xers. they pretty much get it, but they’re still established and comfortable and just a bit out of touch

    Except those of us who've spent half our 30s battling depression and living on disability.

      My parents are genX and they decided to lean hard into the evangelical cult even though their parents were just regular once a month christians. Weird shit happened to people growing up right at the beginning of the collapse.

          Post 60's was when it started going visibly downhill. Nixon/Reagan eras basically.

          I mean specifically US collapse. For a while people were sure that the Soviets would outlast Amerikkka, but then neoliberalism/neocolonialism got a second wind and saved the empire just long enough to finish the siege against them and create the world we have today.
