gen x here. mortgage, kids, etc. more than happy to exorcize the poltergeist of late stage capitalism with a nice focused, deep burn - if I can improve the future for my kids (and, perhaps, yours) I am ok with personal pain.
I know this sounds trite, but my commitment is to a better future, not my mortgage. you later alphabet soup peeps need to show up at the fucking polls and vote. show the power you have. I promise, TPTB will start paying attention - because you are coming for them.
a coalition of generations is needed here. I propbably wont be here for the worst of climate change, so those that will… vote and put your ideas out there. I think there is more gen x support for you than you think.
You’re probably right. I just worry uninformed angry people are ripe for being taken advantage of.
And for sure I totally don’t mean absolutely everyone in either gen - that’s never the case. I guess i just look at my older bro and he looks way beyond capacity (44 w/ a 1+2 yr olds) to expect him to do stuff like read and educate himself. Idk, maybe that’s just not his thing regardless.
I absolutely salute parents out there, doing the whole thing though. I’m still just barely trying to take care of myself
