Maybe it's for the best. I think new generations are way too passive. We've been trained to live our lives passively and vicariously... Engaging in the cheapest possible alternatives to various life experiences, quantity over quality.

Do you suggest that there are not enough sexual assaults with this statement?

[jongjong]

No but more aggression and assertiveness is needed. I hope this won't correlate but I really think our generation will end up in a place worse than we can imagine if we don't grow a backbone. Already millennials are being coerced into various kinds of sexual slavery.

”millennials are being coerced into various kinds of sexual slavery”

I hope you have a source for that claim.

[jongjong]

Yes but the coercion is so powerful psychologically that it won't even be recognized as such. The victim is violated and then conditioned to think it was all 100% their own decision. It's both mental and physical.

E.g. OnlyFans.

Accelerating inequality built into the system creates poverty, poverty leads people to sell their bodies, then they tell themselves it was all their own decision and in fact they love it... They'll tell themselves it's empowering even. Meanwhile they become extremely distrusting and develop all sorts of personality issues till they become a shell of their former selves... But it's all fine, no violation took place because they chose it 100%.

The conditioning is so strong, people might get deeply upset at this particular framing because it's too painful to accept.

And it's just the typical mental tricks the system plays on people; never blame the system, always look for individuals to scapegoat, blame yourself if you must but never blame the system.

That’s a very glib interpretation of the message, bordering on the malicious.
