Mark Moschinonah it's totally a thing, but people don't really want to have those conversations. They don't want to engage with the fact that the last 10 years has actually been bad for the world. Not on some wokism bullshit but on the powers that be giving us some wins there to distract us so they can gut schools and enshitify everything else kids today have no models for being a successful adult
The establishment that brought you the covid lockdowns will never, ever budge in even the slightest way on the Official Narrative that the lockdowns were righteous and that all criticism is insincere hatred. And they understandably have no credibly left.
Mar 12·1 replycrakcThis used to make me really nervous. Because the kids really are f***ed. Anyone who works with kids will tell you anecdotes exactly like yours.
But there’s literally nothing you can do because it’s a mix of so many material things you couldn’t control if you tried. The combination of opioid-esque tech for kids, parents needing to work constantly, schizophrenic, malicious algorithms, ssris, covid,
Like it’s so many factors contributing to us just generating deeply troubled and legitamtely antisocial kids and there’s nothing you can do about it
At the end of the day anecdotes are just that. Maybe the kids coming up are f***ed, but every generation has their own issues to overcome. Brains getting fried by social media is more of a societal issue than a generational one at this point. The literacy issue seems bad, but we can’t know how serious it is until they enter the workforce.

thats the problem tho- when they enter the work force it's too late. that's at least a decade before substantive change happnes

One of the things i’ve come to terms with is older people being right about how s***ty phones are. They probably started saying it reflexively because smartphones were new, but it’s been like 10+ years of decline in part because of them. Especially in schools.

i kinda think a cell phone should be a regulated item like cigs. i don't think kids should have them
saw them in Berlin two years ago and the crowd was incredible. i was standing a bit to the side of the stage and was kinda pissed before the show started cause i thought my spot was trash, then as soon as the show started the whole crowd literally shrunk so much as people got close af to the stage and the whole place basically became a pit
ive never seen anything like itless than a minute into the first song people were already turning around to walk away from the front so they could be more at the back because it was so crazy lmaooo. i was lowkey glad when the gig was over because i was so exhausted. DG deserved this kind of energy at all their shows
