I'm around your age and I have also noticed how the current generation of kids/teenagers seem to think we are "shriveled up prunes" already. I don't remember thinking people in their mid 20s were old, when I was a kid. I wonder what happened.

Interspaced between funny haha videos there’s young women having completely unnecessary surgery and arguments about how communism is good actually.

How do they reconcile plastic surgery with communism, though? Or is it normal for these type of people to hold multiple conflicting view points/ideologies at the same time? Could be an age thing, since they are so young, but something tells me it's a more severe failure in basic critical thinking.

When I was a teenager I couldn’t wait to be in my 20’s, it’s like a golden era of time that you’re still spry but you also have independence and freedom!

I wonder if they just wholesale absorbed what the press said about us. We went from “oh those blasted millennials ruining everything” to “zoomers are just so precious and the bestest” LIKE okay... I’m fairly adjusted to being kicked in all directions, but it does hurt most coming from the younger gen.

I want to help and mentor them the way older generations did not do for us, and they’re fully not interested.

As for the Communism, that’s very curious to me. I was watching an Atheism panel from ‘09 yesterday which touched on this brilliantly and it talked about how the gap left by Christianity is filled by other religious streams of thought, usually; radical islam or Communism. I would say transgenderism qualifies too just on a smaller scale. Check it out if you’re curious; https://youtu.be/48V0m2lia5U

Maybe in their Brave New World the state will pay for your rhinoplasty and boob job. Make every body like a cookie cutter, no better way to strip people of their individuality than physically carving it out of them with a scalpel.

I read a comment somewhere from a teacher that said he had trouble teaching Brave New World nowadays to his students because they see it as an ideal world - one which to strive for.

Well that makes me feel slightly hysterical but less surprised than I really would like to be. These are also the kids that think Orwell’s 2+2=5 is the people who are telling them men can’t become women.

Don’t think I’m the only one wishing we could resurrect Huxley and Orwell to set the record straight.
