Hey, graduating Gen Z here, where are those mythical high-paying remote jobs? Hell, where's somewhere that will actually look at my resume? People that got hired during COVID got laid off and now we're competing with people who have 2-4 years of experience for a junior position, inflation is significantly higher and paying for college and rent didn't exactly get easier. How can you look at the current situation and say we have it easy, just because you also had it rough?

I’m not saying there aren’t gen z who are suffering. You’re one of many and I’m sorry for that.

Millennials still, as a generation, have it objectively worse financially.

I protested during OWS and got pepper sprayed for it. I worked for the Bernie campaign just to see the DNC royally fuck their base in the ass no lube. The only peaceful action we have left is a general strike and everybody’s struggling so hard trying to fend for themselves that no one has it in them to organize a strike let alone all the fucking bootlickers who’d be against a unified labor action anyways.

We’re fucked. Violence appears to be the only answer, and for now it’s only the far right with an appetite for it. And they love the state.
