Like it was ever real to begin with
If you were born after like 1980 it’s been pretty apparent that we were all fucking lied to. Go to school, be a good person, try hard, go to college and then you’ll be set for life. What a fucking joke.
BTW, my entire life I’d hear older cons bitch about FDR because even more than Carter, the cons hate the guy.
But they don’t seem to realize that FDR was the motherfucking compromise. But these cons are the types that, if they were still alive today would be full magoff and supporting donvict and fElon doing their worst to our institutions, including cutting off social security, medicare and medicaid and kidnapping people and sending them to gulags in other countries, just like I’m sure they would have loved the fascist coup attempt (Business Plot) succeeding back in 1933.
Ahhh ok, just curious. Yeah, Ronnie Raygun’s people brought in whole new levels of destruction.
I just didn’t understand the “born after” part. I watch older movies like The Graduate or read older books like Catcher in the Rye and get the sense that much older genrations felt lied to as well…and I know I as a Gen Xer felt that I had parts of the establishment lying to me.
I don’t feel like I try to do things correctly or try do good things for nothing. Maybe those are the only things that will get done right today, maybe everyone around me will fuck me over for trying to be decent. But the right way is there for anyone to take that can find it, and good has never existed outside of our minds and hearts. I have to try and I have to try to be good so that I know someone is trying and that good exists. Even if it is imperfect or doesn’t change anything else, it changes me.
Yeah this sucks for so many right now.
When you go on LinkedIn and find a major tech company, those who meet the following two criteria:
- Born after 1980
- Have “senior” in their title
…they’re numerous right? But is it <1% of 1980 born college grads who are crushing it? Or <10%, or…
They call it a dream because you have to be asleep to experience it
Particularly from 1981 on, through corporate lobbyists and the merging of various ideological perspectives from both the Republican and Democratic parties, the new lower tax system for the wealthy and for corporations took shape.
Can’t vote this away
“Dream”?
Let’s not kid ourselves, it is and always has been an anxiety driven nightmare for anyone that isn’t white, male, and possesses a cognitively fractured moral compass.
I’m a privileged white male, you guys aren’t having an anxiety driven nightmare?!
