re: Gen Z and Millennials are burnt out, not from working hard, but because they lack hope

This list of stressors is stupid. Economic uncertainty is the only one worth thinking about. All the others are just noise or completely made up.
Political instability is actually affecting people in big ways currently, especially all the funding cuts.

Young men without hope are pussies.
Young men untethered from reality, as we've seen in some posts here, are set up to be used though.

Millennials are perhaps the first generation in human history to view those responsibilities as unique.
I have a house with my kids and parents in it and it is a blessing. People’s problem sometimes is mindset. I value family and think one thing we have lost in this country is the extended nuclear family living near or with them. Too much uprooting to find big opportunities.

People born around....1987 have seen some shite.
From Y2k in their tween/adolescence to 9/11 the following year when they should be in high school, then the WOT, then the financial crisis right around when they graduated from college. Then right after 30 Covid happens
Cry me a river! First off, y2k? Really? That was a nothingburger. Then 9/11, unless you were in those buildings, was just a spectacle. I watched the Munich Hostage situation unfold. Big deal? The WOT? Unless you were carrying a rifle, so what?
Every generation sees a lot of shite. I saw two Kennedys assassinated, the Vietnam War, the energy crisis of the late 70’s, Watergate, the oil bust of the 1980’s, The Cold War. Big deal! I didn’t whine about it, and neither did anyone I know.
Covid was legit (shouldn’t have been, but the ninnies forced it to be a crisis).

Yeah…but it’s nothing new. Happens every few years. Is what it is. Not worth worrying about if you have zero control over it. Oil and gas probably impacted more than most. Who cares about government employees having their jobs cut…those aren’t real jobs anyway. Fire more regulators I say…

The point is some see more than others.
In addition to AI, another example of shite Millennials and younger are facing that no other generation has is the dating crisis and sexual imbalance both in professional settings and the path thereto.
You want to talk hopelessness and malaise? Think about the impacts of a huge chunk of the male population unlikely to get a legit date anytime soon.

I thought we didn’t mind if rich got richer and the poor got poorer

The market isn't being able to function properly due to government intervention, governments run, I must note, by people generations older than those who are in the malaise.

Do you care for your parents? It’s a bit different when people with young kids to care for also have to care for aging parents.

I’m pinched from both ends and I can tell you our society doesn’t fricking care about me.
A gay couple can easily overttake me career wise because they don’t have the same obligations to fulfill. I will still get my guap regardless, but this place is not set up for families

I imagine the real people who lost their jobs because a couple of billionaires who were born into wealth felt like stressing out a couple hundred thousand peons for fun care that their jobs were cut.

How dare you talk about the elites like that
Posted on 9/19/25 at 7:16 pm to NC_Tigah
If you want hope invite Jesus Christ into your life. It may change priorities, and what is success.

And I just showed that they haven’t. You listed a bunch of non-traumatic events unless you were one of the victims.
And seriously, a dating crises? The dating crises is largely because these pussies would rather watch porn than go out and hit on the 20 women it takes to get one to say “Yes”. That’s what those of us in my generation did if we weren’t blessed with the looks.

Absolutely unbelievable to think that Charlie Kirk would no longer be with us less than two months after this interview.
We wouldn't have President Trump either if God hadn't saved him from another young leftist POS.
Leftists and their insane political beliefs have to be one of the biggest contributors to the lack of hope.
Half the country wants you dead and would celebrate your death because of what you believe in. Women like this are un-dateable and unmarry-able too, and the majority of Millennial and Gen Z women are like this.

Trump? Yes; Elon? No. His parents were affluent but certainly not wealthy.

No indeed not. Maybe 20% are.
Look in the mirror. There’s your problem with women.
