That’s not how progress works. You don’t make change through “a generation ending”. A generation is shit we made up to put a bunch of people in buckets without any material reason for the cutoff. It’s a tool of media/cultural narrative and nothing more.
Thinking that centuries long class conflicts will change by “waiting” until older working class people die? Funny how waiting and doing nothing through your best labor years is what you’re hoping will lead to change. Weird.
Don’t expect change without you working for change. And, it’s clear at this point, that’s not going to be possible through the existing systems of government and economic structure.
So, please, stop waiting for your parents to die to realize what they didn’t. That they were too tired and old learn that lesson. So they jump into politics near retirement and have lost all connection to the progress those better have made.
“They look scary”. We must have “gone too far” since then. So you blindly vote for the politician that gives you the most comfort.
Boomers are there now. The other generations will all follow - until we don’t. And when we don’t. That’s a very exciting time. My hope is not for the old generation to die. But that the current generation in their “labor years” are radicalized enough to bring about foundation changing progress.
I get you. When we zoom out over history, change does actually happen, just at a slower pace than we like. The people below the current figureheads have at least slightly different plans and much less clout. Things are going to change soon. Few years, can’t say exactly.
Edit: I am deliberately very general in this analysis.
Naw, AI is here to pass along all their beliefs. Their lies, propaganda, bullshit, etc. will live on forever. Why do you think they have such a boner for it.
USA is going to be so different when the old people go to grave…
Goes for more than just the USA ofc., but you guys put it on display. ^^

There’s more old people coming up behind them.
