    Boomers stayed in power too long and made sure future generations would have nothing, millennials did fuck all (aka my generation) and gen z decided to fight back and what else can they do? dwindling job opportunities, a future where ownership is an idea whispered in back alleys and no improvement in sight.

    These boomer shit stains fucked themselves over with this, if gen z has nothing to lose then they’ll fight more fiercely for something they can have later because now they have nothing and if it keeps going like this future generations will know only slavery so what better time to fight back than now.
