    "Hey! Welcome to the world!

    Everything everyone has told you about how things work and the fairness of the system is a lie. Good luck dealing with that.

    Also, all the adults who you were brought up to look at as the keepers of the world are actively making it worse and/or going insane.

    You have no money, no power, no experience, you’re outnumbered and under-resourced, and those same screwed up adults have been actively sabotaging your mental acuity and development for more or less your entire lives.

    So you’d better get to fixing it! What’s wrong with you lazy bums?"

    Is there even a small kernel of truth backing this up? What ‘something else’ is there other than laying flat?

    Or like, are there any last-ditch options for some chronically-ill middle-aged homebody like me? A transhumanist cult, a real-life equivalent to a Rimworld colony, some like-minded individuals living on a boat who can make it to my local port that need a sweeper or mediocre heat-intolerant stirfry-cook who can’t swim? No?

    Half-ethical brain preservation testing, put me in a The Matrix? I’d roll the dice, the bar is really low at this point.

      There is. Gen Z is the most progressive generation, from stocks to our purchases to our dreams (e.g. living a simple life in a farm) we are creating the hyperstructure required for a new economic base. A friend, who doesn’t even know what solarpunk is and is very startup oriented wanted to created what is basically a small commune with other friends. The dominoes are falling into place. What you can do is find your own role in the future.

    This is eradicating the massive fridays for future movement that was entirely carried by teens, that had a huge impact on policy.

    Tf does “Extiction” mean?

    This is a confusing meme attempt all around.

      Genuine question.

      Did you not realise the singular missing character in “Extinction” or are you just trying to be a difficult smart ass?

        Ngl, I looked the word up because I wasn’t sure if it meant something else or was just a careless typo by OP.

        Still don’t get the meme
