That's the girl from the cat videos?
Everyone's always quick to declare the beginning of World War 3, to pass every event through that lens. Inadvertently, it provides cover for the fact that Cold War 2 already started.

lol shartzer
Math class.
Haha Shartzer
Gen-Xer who remembers the cold war and also lived through all that other shit: Welp I guess I'm flinging myself back off the fucking wagon.
You got to benefit from the 80s and selling off of all our national assets to prop up our economy for 2 decade's
You lived in the good times and called it "the cold war".
From a millennial give us our stuff back (to the state who gave it to you).
Man, don't pick a Millennial vs Gen X fight. Most of Gen X got just as fucked as we did and pretending otherwise is some ageist bullshit
Boomers ruined the economy and sold Gen X and Millennials the American Dream. We both figured out it was a lie too late. Gen Z is the first generation to see the truth from an early age and I won't be hearing any trashtalk about how they're lazy because of it, either
Sure, more of Gen X benefitted from the boomer economy than Millennials but that doesn't mean they owe us something. We're on the same team.
Dude I'm disabled and can barely afford food, I didn't benefit from shit.

You forgot Y2K. That was wild.
Was it? Other than media overhyping the dangers and saying it’ll end the world, I don’t think it had much of an impact.

Some millennials are over 40. Doesn't change the point but let's be factual here
Fuck I'm old :((((((
I'm here with you on that. We got to see Biff in back to the future and now we get to see a Biff Larper as president.

Sorry didn't realise I'd uploaded the uncropped one I've changed it now. Thanks for highlighting it
This is why I don’t believe people who say things can get better.
Yeah it's not like our ancestors went through two world wars in a period of 20 years along with the first Global economic depression or anything like that, and the realization that Humanity can now wipe itself off the planet.
No it's definitely us that lives through the most interesting time
It doesn’t have to be the most interesting time. Just an interesting time.
Still sucks and we’ve got climate collapse to worry about in addition to nukes. And PFAS. And microplastics.
Oh 100% I agree. We do live in trying times. But we also live in probably the best time to be alive at least if you live in the western world.
I just want to bring some context from the past because when you look at history we're doing quite a bit better than we used to.
While the no Kings protest didn't really achieve a whole lot mobilizing up to 10 million people is a huge achievement and not one that many organizations could have dreamed of doing 50 years ago.
Yes, this shitty world is definitely the best we could reasonably hope for.

They certainly can - post-WWII was certainly an improvement for most people - but there's no guarantee that they will.
lol, yep, things have only became worse over time through my whole life, and I just got laid off from a sick job I scored during the Covid chaos, so i'm job searching on top of all of that

Am I numb or am I exhausted? Maybe I'll find out after another nap.
