I recently heard a take of "what boomers don't understand about millennials and younger generations is that we don't expect anything good to happen ever again." I've talked to a lot of friends about this and the general consensus is "...yeah" not a single person has disputed it, even a little. When I mentioned this to my dad, he complained that his social security might be reduced in the next few years.
I don't expect it, but I'm also not going to be complicit in them getting worse. Lethargy and cynicism means you've already lost, which is what the assholes at the top want.
We will not go quietly into that good night.
