i was only talking to a friend about these puritanical kids online these days and stuff yesterday, but honestly i feel like maybe i need to get off tumblr. some of yall are way too mean to kids.

#the 'neopuritanical' kids you love to hate on so much? #they are a symptom #not the cause. #of an overarching problem of morality and capitalism and big changes happening fast but it's not always good changes. in fact usually #it's not good. #can you fucking imagine growing up in this #i fucking can't. i think i would die???? #this is a normal reaction from kids and young people in response to a world. #that won't grant them agency. where 'agency' and 'freedom' are basically meaningless #cus around you the world is dying and you'll be making minimum wage while your manager yells at you and #you still won't have enough to pay rent and bills and food and definitely not enough to actually enjoy yourself #it's fucking bleak out there if you're just becoming an adult now. i do not envy you #these kids have a lot to learn but mostly. mostly #they need to learn how to feel safe #since they CLEARLY haven't felt safe #really. #only massive instability and insecurity leads to whole generations getting like this #i blame tiktok and absent parents #who are probably absent due to capitalism and would love to have enough time to raise their kids properly #i also blame society for gatekeeping community and making the nuclear family everything. it sucks so much #anyway if you're a kid or a young person. #i fucking feel for you #just pls remember that mostly. ordinary people are not the enemy to fight #some of them are terrible but lots of your issues can only be dealt with on a systemic level #and lateral violence does not help #i need a tag for my own rambles
