| I agree, it is a totally different time. And, maybe this is a good time to ask why that is. It's been enabled by a whole generation of people who just can't throw themselves under the bus of corporate domainance fast enough. Just keep selling out. You think housing is unaffordable now? You think work is inequitable now? Just throw your entire life gushingly at Goggle and Apple and TwerkTik for another decade or two. The fucking hasn't even started yet. Your lives are gonna be ruined. It's gonna be the great depression of the 1930s all over again, except with the population so stupid and distracted they'll vote for the fucking Cheeto, or some other biullionaire criminal, because they're "trending". Of course the aternative, putting down the god damn phone and looking up at the real world, you know, the one outside your little brain, is totally off the table. The modern first world generations can't even propogate the species without an acct at AT&T. Corporations have insinuated themselves all the way into individual's sex lives. I never though I would have read an article by a Gen-Xer with this much insight... But by the time the Gen-Z is that old, it's gonna be WAY TOO LATE... |
