in the depths of the the Great Depression, FDR remarked:

"To some generations much is given. Of other generations much is expected. This generation has a rendezvous with destiny."

It seems like we -late millennials and zoomers - are gonna have to be one of those generations that has a rendezvous with destiny.

as we grow older, boomers will age as well and eventually retire/die and we're the ones who are gonna have to fix this whole mess.

in 10 years, we're in the driver's seat which is terrifying but at the same time kinda cool?

what are your thoughts?
is there hope for the future?
or are the end-times near?

The rendezvous with destiny gonna be we gonna get destroyed by climate change

We're already f***ed on the global warming side of things so I think we're going to break the cycle and just be hopeless doomsday preppers or kill ourselves with nukes. There's no way to "fix" this.

Boomer's might die off but the boomer mentality is still here among some millennials, gen z too

And even if they don’t have the boomer mentality, most of our generation is blissfully unaware of most things & how they came to be that way etc, beyond a surface level or wherever the curriculum of their academic career left off at

PLEASE stop with this boomer, doomer, zoomer s*** bro generations are not a way to classify people

These terms are played out and mean nothing, NO two people are alike. I think this site forgets this.

its an easy way of compartmentalizing groupthink whose historical nuances shouldn't be glossed over

It makes no sense, and frankly it's just annoying at this point.

OP is basically blaming an entire generation for f***ing over everyone younger, but at the same time Baby Boomers have PLENTY of activists who PAVED the way for bringing cultural awareness of s***. In fact does KTT recognize the name... Al Gore?

He was one of the most important people about bringing global warming as an issue to the public.

We can sit here pointing fingers at eachother all day, but it'll never fix our world's issue. It's not a generational thing, it's a human thing. We need to work together to fix the world.

This generation is gonna f*** up by allowing dictatorships to pop up in the western world

Watch

The East will be the center of the world

Trump...

the east has always been the center of the world until America took over the past century. They just getting it back.

Not true exactly

UK and France dominated for awhile before the Ottomans started to decline

From Ottomans and before yes ofc

just buy inland property and you'll be fine

not sure where you've been for the past 2000 years

This expect European colonialism

good point. the world, Europe in particular was always looking for ways to trade with China. Looking for the best route, shortest and cheapest way to trade.

Europe exploited the s*** out of China man, industrialization happened, two worlds wars then Europe went to s***. America took over the last century.

??

Had somebody my age ask me today what condom is the best to get for sizing we are f***ed

Not just on the right wing side of the spectrum

I think leftists in the US will be in for a rude awakenings when they see how government officials can be just as capitalistic/more self serving in nature and corrupt when you remove the middle man of private industry wealth. I see the US trending in the direction of giving the government more influence and expecting them to be more likely ethical than the current big influencers of the private business.

That's why we've gotta vote some of these total hacks out of the office. Where's the reps who are FOR the people? Ones who don't compromise their principles?

I think the smallest number of a group of bad actors can always corrupt a large institution in time. The people’s vote matters less and less already in our system and we’re not even at a dictatorship yet.

Well, look at what their trying to do for Texas with that stupid voting law s***. Suppressing the people.

The biggest problem is that our country is just very... uneducated when it comes to big things. The overwhelming amount of stupid people who exist here is just bad.

i ain’t in the driver seat

mf i wont even be in the car f*** y’all

I agree with everything you said itt, but we have 40yrs MAX before the sun bends us over and f***s us with ultraviolence, so any issue that can't be solved in the near-term (extending to 20yrs) ain't going to get fixed until a paradigm-shifting mass migration/die off occurs

im a bloomer
