“no clear answers” 🤦
That’s how you know that no one important is invested in finding a solution.
We tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas.
It can’t be the soul crushing capitalism, commoditization of everything (love included), and isolation guys, right? It’s definitely not our corporate profits.
Can’t be added on with multiple “Once in a generation” natural disasters happening on a yearly basis with temp records breaking yearly, nations with the power to demolish the world rattling sabers over a fight that’s been going before we were born, zero chance of moving upwards in the crushing capitalism, all the while the leadership is fighting over identity politics instead of acknowledging any of the problems. Surely none of those are add on factors.
I think it mostly comes down to increasingly unfair distribution of wealth, which leaves people with no hope to better their standards of living.
Our civilization creates things with constantly increasing productivity, which should lead to better pay and less time spent working, and more time to live a fulfilling life. Instead, all this added wealth is funneled towards a few mindbogglingly rich individuals.
This happens with the help of a sizable fraction of the population, which has become convinced that their mediocre situation is in fact caused by even poorer and more miserable people, rather than the assholes siphoning everything and everyone from the top of their already obscene piles of riches. And there’s no sign of this changing anytime soon. No wonder people are desperate.
Our country sucks, what other answer do you need? The boomers fucked it up for the rest of us and now there’s no joy, just constant struggle.
*world
I can’t argue with that.
I’m not even gonna post the paragraph I was gonna post lmao well done
Our society benefits those who manipulate and cheat, and punishes those who choose not to. Pretty simple
The only reason there’s no clear answer is because it’s several answers all together.
capitalism is the answer.
Maybe because the world has become fucking shit? I could list dozens of answers and all of them combined are a clear answer.
