everybody born after 9/11 has grown up in a time where change is impossible because this is the best the world will ever be - government is the thing where people older than your grandparents sit on their hands and forget what day it is, mass media is the thing that shows people your parents' age things from their childhood so they can clap their hands when they recognize darth vader, and the only outlet and place you can be free is the internet, which is 90 percent corporate-made skinner box shit at this point, and also the only thing you've heard from birth is that the world is gonna end in 20 years if we don't do something, and it's 20 years later and nobody seems to have done much

the attitude of the times is "it's too late; and if it isn't too late, you will never be able to do anything about it" - instead of whipping yourself about how you've ruined your kids or jerking off over how good of a parent you are, help make the world a better place or step aside
