our society is dumb.
it loves cheap gender-based attacks and blaming individual choices for failures of our society at large.
instead of taking about stagnating wages and impossible education/healthcare costs, we just mock young people for being poor. and since young men are poorer than young women, subverting traditional breadwinner gender roles, they get mocked even harder.
on the radio yesterday NPR was mocking people for not going out and spending $50 on two drinks. telling gen z that pre-gaming, nips, etc were all 'cheating' at life, and they should just 'grow up' and fork over their money they don't have to overpriced bars and restaurants because they are 'killing the restaurant industry'.
it's absurd. personally I am doing quite well, I'm in a top 15% income bracket, but all around me society and my peers are constantly acting like anyone who isn't making a top 5% income is a failure of a human being, because if you aren't filthily rich you are clearly lazy and pathetic! I've even had people straight up tell me I shouldn't have been born because my parents were not rich and couldn't pay for my college and give me a downpayment on a house...
and i'm in my 40s. i can't imagine how awful it is to be like 25 and in a mountain of debt and being told by society/friends/family you're a pathetic loser for trying to climb your way out of it by eating cheap food.
One of the good ones.
Well said, I share a similar view.
