And Gen Alpha has it worse than that. US Gen Betas will have never experienced a non-fascist America.
At this rate if we are lucky they will never experience an America.
I have never in my life seen in person anyone doing one of these dances.
They’re mentioned so often that I just assume I should see phones on tripods on every inch of flat ground with people or trios doing choreography.
Are these really that common?
Do you know any kids? I haven’t seen anyone filming a dance to upload, but I’ve seen kids mimicking fortnite dances just for the hell of it. They were gen alpha though.
No. I’m exaggerating. Specifically the recording part.
I mean they were like years ago when it was new and it’s just a thing that we’re going to drag that generation for just like we’re still getting flogged for avocado toast.
I plank while I eat my toast each morning
Just don’t do whatever the new hotness is. Gotcha.
I don’t think I’ve seen anything I do dragged yet. Or at least not commonly.
Don’t care for avocados or dancing. So far I’m in the clear for most generational banter.
Typical millennial, painfully aware of the meta-narrative and avoiding cliches without even trying. So cringe! /S
yes, they are. so many kids of family and friends just bust out dancing randomly, its absolutely hilarious tbh
Maybe you just don’t live anywhere cool enough, I’ve definitely seen people filming TikTok dances in my city. One time they were even in the parking lot of my apartment complex.
Sure, I regularly see some recording in parks or in stations.
People from every generation feel they live in the end times, it is part of what explains the prevalence for apocalyptic religions like Christianity
I know this is a common counter argument, but some times really are more truly closer to the end of the world than others
During WW2 this was more true than in the past, after nuclear weapons became invented it was more true than in the past, after the US and USSR stockpiled enough nukes to destroy civilization a dozen times over, while being at each other’s throats, it was more true than in the past, once climate change became a real crisis that’s not being solved it was more true than in the past
And finally, we now have a confluence of all of these factors, with fascism coming back into the world where we might see another World War-like scenario. Even when the dust settles on what the US and far-right are doing, what’s going to be done about climate change? The issue will be put even more on the back-burner than it already has, and it’s going to wreck our crops and fuel further instability in the world
Before the stockpiling of nuclear weapons, there never was a plausible way to end civilization globally. But they very much enable the possibility of doing so now. If all stockpiled nukes were fired, it would be more than enough to affect the global climate to the point of global crop failures, and the human population would possibly be reduced to less than a million. Not to mention all other life on earth and the havoc it would cause on ecological stability. Certainly enough to cause yet another mass extinction on top of the already in progress holocene mass extinction
Just made/posted this recently. Kinda relevant to what you’re saying.
and they both didn’t bother to vote for the continuation of american democracy thereby ushering in fascist disassembly, chaos, and death by acclimation. so funny. so cute.
Generations aren’t monolithic.
Speak for yourself, I’m a monolith
We are all monoliths on this blessed day.
DOLT
Now monokith.
Hopefully you’re Monolith Soft and not Monolith Productions. My condolences if you’re the latter; I really loved F.E.A.R.
Why? Just why do people comment like this?
I don’t know, but if I was a fascist troll who wanted to keep opposition to the Republican party unpopular and divided that’s what I would post
Frustration with the reality of things? Both cohorts increased in Republican support…
I’m pretty sure that’s wrong*, both cohorts had decreased voter turnout. They’re not becoming conservatives, they’re pissed that Dems campaigned with Liz Cheney.
*I have to say pretty sure because our modern pay to play media landscape and search engine fuckery has made it more of a pain in the ass to find reliable statistics than I have time for
They have Lewy body dementia. Sad.
I,already have then tagged as a troll. Its usually the same people over and over again.
