Jokes on you, meme. I'd dropped out of high school and was working full time at Spencer's by then. I got to see the second plane hit on a bank of TV's at RadioShack on my way back from getting a pack of cigarettes from the news stand by the Sbarro.
One CircuitCity away from a Bingo
I don't really understand the age focus on this one. People older than millenials have also experienced all that plus some extra shit which millenials haven't. We are all in this together (except for the billionaires and their dictator friends), regardless of age.
Watching your mom die is a bit more shocking at 12 than it is when you are 40
These are millennials having main character syndrome about watching stuff on tv.
Meanwhile there are actual war zones in which all age groups are getting physically wiped out.
They actually are losing their moms at any age . Not just watching stuff on tv.
What pain olympics are you trying to win, dude?
Projecting confession so in right now.
The circle of life. We're about due for a depression and a war. Humans are so predictable it is mind numbing
Wrong! I was in geometry class.
Wow we're pretty ineffective at causing real, meaningful change!
And holding the camera is generation x, smiling and nodding like an exhausted parent as though millennials have discovered something new.
WW3 ain't coming, and if it was there's nothing you could do about it anyway.
Dead people don't buy oil, financial services, adverts, housing, or plastic tat from China.
Unhappy people buy lots of it, or at least go into debt trying.
The goal of the world is to keep you miserable and spending.
You're expecting old farts in charge to be always rational about everything. They need to let their rotting brains to slip up once, and we're all fucked.
Amen. As a millennial I've lost count of the times I've heard that WW3 is starting. Every time shit pops off in the Middle East (almost always thanks to the good ol' US of A) the media starts handwringing and people start panicking.
But even if we do end up in a world war, the world won't stop turning. People with bombs raining down on them still need to go to work and cook dinner and pay their bills.
War has always been a reality for someone somewhere in the world. But if/when it's our turn, we're so self-centered we think that it's the actual apocalypse.
All we can do is keep working to make life better for each other. Even though shit is pretty bleak for everyone with late stage capitalism and climate change, it's not nearly the worst thing any group of people have ever experienced.
So you can give up, or you can embrace radical nihilism and choose to cling to any scrap of joy you can find while working to make things better, even if it's just the tiniest bit.
In the grand scheme of human history, western civilization as we know it is a tiny blip. It's incredible that we're here to witness this moment. If nothing else, let sheer curiosity and spite drive you to keep going.
The people that make the news for this kind of crap are also the ones who report it to you in that sensational way to get those reactions. Some of those who work forces...
Yeah I feel like if a direct attack on American soil that killed thousands of civilians didn't spark WW3, then nothing will
We kinda attacked a decent percentage of the world after that, and have barely had time to catch our breath since the "end" of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
Also the middle-eastern millenials getting bombed, occupied, and bombed again during each of these.
We didn’t start the fire. It was always burning since the world’s been turning. No we didn’t light it, but we tried to fight it.
