You lived through the age of opportunity, a type of golden age if you will.
In no previous time period could a man jump from the bottom to the top with such great ease.

In the east communism kept people in strict order. Growing up the hierarchy truly did require exception skills even if oftentimes social ones. The communist block would see a brief glimpse of opportunity for 2 generations, yet it would also be plagued by western elites abusing the falling system for their gains.
In the south the african ways have never changed. Innovation is shunned and crushed by a violent K-selected collective. Reproduce fast, die young, even if external factors don't demand it their genes will drive them to idiocy.
In the islamic world a more orderly violence remains but growth up the heirarchy is still mostly hereditary or limited to truly exceptional individuals.
In the far east with rare exceptions the asian blood demands obedience and high creativity necessary for exceptional jump up the social hierarchy is rare. Perhaps Japan and South Korea being the exception.

All of these people have some sort of reason to claim the conditions brought them down.
But you who lived in the West, you can truly say "we experienced an unprecedented age of growth and abundance of opportunities"

That time is coming to an end. Years of recession are coming. Some say years of high inflation will come with them, others claim deflation will hit assets.
Either way there will be less opportunity, savings will be hit, taxes will rise, supplies of everything that was in abundance before will be limited if available at all. There will be less jobs and some fields, now deemed perspective will become obsolete.

Sometimes I have trouble believing that it was totally normal to grow up in america and just assume life was going to get better for everyone, on a continuous, ever increasing rate. It's just been taken as fact for 70+ years that your kids were going to be wealthier, healthier, and live longer than you. And it's all gone.

We are living in the time where the decline starts, but not in the time where everything has already collapsed. It's still possible to make it, it just requires a lot more efforts than for boomers since a good living standard is no longer the automatic default.

You are not good enough to man u0 and go out to grind in the gruesome mills of capitalism nor are you smart enough to think of an alternative.

I look down on capitalist shills, but you are even lower than they are, for you do not even have the drive to be angry about what makes your life miserable.

Illusion of upwards mobility from holywood propaganda got you real hard.
Even during apex of the western golden age the opportunities for upward social mobility were never even close to what you are dreaming off.

This kek. Shit has sucked before. Many times. The only reason boomers had it good was because of world war 2 and the Cold War. Yes, war IS necessary to have a strong economy. The truth sucks. WW1 gave us the roaring 20s, followed by a collapse. WW2 would have been followed much later on with a crisis if it wasn’t for the Cold War. The golden age lasted so long only because the “competition” lasted so long.. Which is why when the Cold War was winding down (and ending) we had economic issues in the 80s and 90s. And wow, look at that, no major conflicts with global consequences in the last 30 years and shit has just gotten worse and worse. Luckily we are entering the stage of rising tentions again. Between the US and China, and Europe with Russia. The powers that be understand this. Things will get much worse, finally coming to a head with war. But after the war, the winning sides will have their respective golden ages once more. It’s all manufactured. It’s all happened many times before.

The age of abundance is indeed ending for most people
But it's ending the same way a bender always ends, sometimes it can be extended by getting more drugs but even that hits diminishing returns and it always ends

Our drug was fossil fuels and the cost we shifted from being processed inside the organism of western human society to the environment and even the social environment, allowing its cells to become weak in mind, body, and spirit

If a minority of this sickly body were to split off and kill and expel the net negatively entropic parts of itself, it could continue on with the abundant energy of nuclear but once again the social (and really spiritual) aspect of it would have to keep itself orderly and keep the energy in strict control to prevent the whole cycle from happening again and merely expanding to a higher energy level

It’s important to remember that humans are only a negative force, their very nature is negative. To elucidate further: no human at anytime has ever preformed a good or kindly act or affected the world positively. The very best mankind has done is help mitigate a problem another man has already creative. Basically a nullifying force on an evil act of man. Whether this is saving a few trees from total deforestation, a few animals shipped to zoos to save their life- it’s all for naught, mankind is a totally negative aspect on this planet. We as a species are the demons of biblical implication. There is nothing mankind can do to act positively on any aspect of his life or the life of another being on this planet.
