You are a lot more advanced than “only animals”. :) We dont see horses chatting on Facebook.

Sometimes humans excuse very bad behavior by saying animals are doing it, which is very silly to me. You are a human being, not a horse. The only question is, how will you use your abilities that the horse doesnt have? For good or for bad.

Humans competing with eachother is both the source of financial growth and also the destruction of the planet at the same time. If humans cant be smarter, we will get extinct, which is very fair by nature. We have everything we need to be smarter and if our greed over paper money kills us, so be it.

I think it also has to do with the economy, not just nazi salutes. Its a bad job market, people dont have money, so luxary cars are not going to be attractive.

Also there is hardly any reason to buy a Tesla… Volvo recharge and others are better cars, made by actual car companies with a good reputation for quality.

I have many flaws. But I do actually like who i am. Im honest, and kind. But I dont have high hopes for the future of humanity.

Im just being honest. Not sure how many people feel like I do about it. Perhaps just a handful, perhaps millions.

But yeah, im sure its selfish to just not care that much about what happens to humanity.

Im selfish in that way. I accept what happens.

I think its alright. If humanity dies out, I think we are simply not intelligent enough to live on. We built systems of capitalism and killed our planet. So be it.

Its nice to see that hope in your writings, that things will improve once boomers step off. I doubt you will be correct but I like it anyway. Lets hope for that. Cheers.

I think its capitalism that is pulling societies from plenty to scarcity, because that is what the system is designed to do. We didnt have ultra capitalism in the west until the last decade or so. You can blame boomers for becoming rich in that system, or you can realize that your generation would not make a difference.

Now we are in the end game of capitalism where billionaries own it all and the world turns into the masses being monitored by technology, while having just enough to pay the bills. Because if they had enough to stop working for the billionaires, they would.

I dont think any of this has to do with boomers specifically or that they were more selfish than others. It was just the time when capitalism were booming. Now its over and your generation is late to the party… Its just natural.

Perhaps on the other side of capitalism, something more fair comes along, or maybe humanity turns into fascism for a while.

That comment got deleted by mods. You could probably make your points in a better way. No reason to try and call me things when you can just state your reasons for disagreeing… Its fine to not agree.

Have you read history? When you say that 500.000 years passed and you feel those generations cared about the world, but boomers just dont, it sounds like you havent.

You make it sound like everything was just amazing and peaceful and selfless and then boomers just destroyed all of that… :) Read about history and how people treated eachother. America was created in 1776, founded on genocide of the native people. Everyone cared about eachother back then, looking out for eachother?

You can read about hundreds of these historic events around the world. Humanity has a history of taking things from eachother and being cruel. The way your generation looks at boomers as the problem is a bit strange. Its like you just woke up, and you look 20 years back and think you have identified boomers as the problem and now humanity is going to die because of them. Its a bit funny and you would see that yourself if you had my perspective.

Im not American so I dont have a 401k, and im not part of New Deal or Great Society style programs… But sure, I understand why you would assume that. It makes sense because of what I wrote.

About perishing because climate change, I dont believe that will happen. Nature is the least of our problems. Our leaders are the problem. Their greed and lust for power, their tendencies to be narcissists or full blown evil monsters. The worst of humanity. At the top of the pyramids of power.

If the US goes into a full depression, its because of its leaders. The rest of us havent done anything. I think you should blame them, and not previous generations of people just like yourself.

Every young generation feels like that. Every single one before yours felt the same. :)

Its actually not about generations being different, we are the same. You may be 20, I may be 50, we still want the same things.

I saw it on tv news yesterday and I was just so sad that this is what we have now as a president. Switched channels quickly, no point being depressed. But its just sad.

I think we are at the end stage of capitalism and people should live their lives, trying to get out of the matrix if they can.

Its not just bots. Im a ordinary user and I honestly didnt know how much of her stories are even true. Not everyone is even interested in this from day to day.

I thought it was about connections from her rich family, and their ability to pull strings to make these sort of things happen for their kid.

But from this thread, it seems the Wikipedia truth is that she is seen as a hero and risking her life. Maybe that is what actually happened, I wouldnt know.

A young girl with this much determination… So you think anyone with enough determination will be able to speak to the EU and get media coverage to argue with Donald Trump?

I dont have one. I just thought it was strange. Normally people dont get any attention at all. You have thousands of people demonstrating over issues and they get almost zero attention. This girl was put on media, got a lot of support and attention and became some kind of a symbol. Why her?

People protest all the time and nothing happens.

Yeah maybe that is the reason. It was just very strange to me.

I dont know. I just would like to know why she is treated special and became a world celebrity, since nobody else could do that.

Literally everything is manipulation. Nobody questions why this particular girl was allowed to speak in front of the EU. Nobody thinks about why things happen. Who are selected and who is not. What agenda is played out.

If you as a teenager wants to talk to the EU, you think you can just do that? Many questions.

She is kind of clueless, but yeah. At least maybe sparks people thinking.
