“I never experienced another system and suddenly realize that the current system isn’t perfect. My solution: let’s tear everything down”
– every teenager who just started to understand the world
I never experienced another system and have come to the gradual realisation that the current system is inherently exploitative, values some people above others, and leaves very little hope for a future as it continues to render the planet’s surface less habitable by the year. My solution: let’s tear the system down before it tears all of us down with it.
FTFY.
My solution: let’s tear the system down before it tears all of us down with it.
“…without having any clue about what comes next, blindly hoping that it will rule out injustice and inherent exploitation although there is no precedence or vision by anyone.”
This is not a fix. It’s calling to kill the complete herd for a few sick animals while others take enormous efforts to find a cure.
Where did I say that? I think it’s really funny how when I corrected an obvious strawman, my correction was strawmanned.
“The boy was sanctimonious as only youth can be when descrying the faults of their elders.”
I read that once and always loved that quote.
Don’t get me wrong: I think nothing is more healthy for a society than a rebelling youth and all the “trouble” that comes with it. We’ve all been there.
But in times were edgy elders vote for Trump and carry no vision, morale or understanding besides mere platitudes like “tearing down everything”, “draining the swamp”, “building a wall” etc., all those calls for radical destruction without offering an alternative annoy the shit out of me.
“I’m such a douchebag entitled narcissist so I’m going to plug my ears and go ‘na na na this is fine’ as the system destroys EVERY GODDAMN FUCKING FACET of society and whatever future these ‘teenagers’ may have. BUT IT’S THE TEENAGERS THAT ARE TO BLAME, RIGHT?”
Get off your fucking high horse. Jesus fucking christ dude.
