Not saying you’re necessarily wrong but “Fuck em” seems to be the new mantra of our society on all levels. Doesn’t bode well for the future.

That is because society on all levels deserves it. We need to stop with the expectation that people in certain jobs or positions deserve respect just because of their job or position. They only deserve respect if they earn it.

If they don’t earn respect, fuck em.

all levels

Healthcare is a level.

Housing the homeless is on a level society operates.

Crime prevention too.

You thought this through at all, or was this just a doodle on your trapper-keeper in homeroom?

It actually DOES bode well for the future.

The Boomers lived by “Fuck the future, I got mine now.”

We’re trying to change it to “Fuck the past, we ain’t got shit.”

“If you were just more positive you’d not be complaining about being depressed all the time”.

And/or

I don’t know, this one has pretty much carried me through the last 40 years. There’s definitely worse advice.

Yea same here but in a different way than what people usually mean. Don’t fake being rich until you are. I was and to a certain extent still am socially anxious and bad at talking to people and holding conversations. I started faking being more socially adept than I actually was by copying people I knew who were extroverts and by observing peoples interactions in the wild. Eventually I did get better with both and have no issue with either, although I do need some time to recharge later on after social interactions.
