"Zoomers are the first cohort to be fully immersed in the reality of generational downward mobility. While millenials will also earn less than their parents, they were formed under the expectations of America ascending to a kind of Post-History stasis where at worst their status and wealth was permanently locked in.
Zoomers have none of these illusions and rightfully reject the obsolete and facile narratives they’re expected to swallow and obey to make sense of their lives and ambitions. Those are dead narratives. They do not reflect reality at all. They do not reflect the deranged cultural and political circumstances they’re expected to navigate from a position of negative expected value for pretty much any career path outside of genius tech outlier.
Scolding them is a stupid and pointless exercise that will only drive them further into despair and resentment.
Yes. Don’t be resentful. Don’t give in to despair. Be resourceful and lay a claim on your own life. But it’s also going to require offering Zoomers much better and updated narratives and opportunities for how to accrue status and wealth and the basic conditions for living a dignified life for the average guy who is not an outlier tech genius.
There are short, medium, and long term fixes for this. Some straightforwardly political. Some more complex cultural questions. But the implicit promise of boomer America, even Gen X America, is no longer viable, and that broken promise has absolutely nothing to do with Zoomers themselves."

Putin called European politicians “pigs” who wanted to “feast on the collapse of Russia”
He also said that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia had believed it would become an “equal part of the European family,” but that never happened because there is “no civilization in Europe, only total degradation.”
Australian viewer confirms my suspicions above:
- BP instructed their contracted fuel wholesalers to limit customer orders (ie gas stations) to 50% [source]
- Mainstream media then told everyone to go fuel up "before prices go up" [viewer comment]
- Then the premier holds a press conference and says "We need to ration fuel because we're running out of fuel" [source]
- Now they are rolling out rationing.
They are CREATING this energy crisis.
This is a SCRIPTED CRISIS to take CONTROL of energy and accelerate the decarbonization AGENDA (as UN admitted here) and grab emergency powers.
It could not be more obvious.

UN literally saying "This war will help us accelerate our green agenda and teach you a lesson."
"The disruption to energy markets caused by the Iran war is a lesson on the risks of relying on fossil fuels which should drive governments to wean their economies off oil and gas faster", the U.N. climate secretary told Reuters on Monday.
"If there was ever a moment to accelerate that energy transition, breaking dependencies which have shackled economies, this is the time," Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of the U.N. climate change arm UNFCCC, said in an interview.
Once their Global Warming nonsense lost its power, their hand was forced. Cue the next crisis. Here we are.
