Guys, I think this decade is a lost cause.
Maybe the 2030s will be better.

Worst decade so far. Though I will 2023 easily has been the best year so far for the US, for what it's worth.

Even if there is a revolt against the 1%, things wont settle down overnight. Heck, a revolt that started today would probably write the entire decade off.

As it stands, there is no reason to believe the 2030s will be better and every reason to believe they will be worse. Income inequality and climate change go hand-in-hand, backed by a growing fascist and misinformation movement. Were fucked.

The 1920s sucked way worse. Kids didn't even have smart phones. Probably just played with some pre rotary phone where you pick it up and are immediately connected to an operator. You can't watch tiktok dances on that. You're stick talking to some woman with a weird accent

I'm hoping for a few good weeks at the end.
I'm GenX, I've been dealing with those fuckers alllll myyy life.

Excluding the good ones, they are dope.

But as a whole, Their Parents gave me way more to look up to.

This millennium has been shit all along. Just to name a few things:
  • dot-com bust
  • bush jr
  • 9/11
  • Iraq war
  • great recession
  • trump
  • covid
and climate change getting worse the whole time. It's looking like things are going to get a lot worse, too.

I mean.. I'm poor and I've had a pretty good 2020s. Beats the hell out of my earlier years.. it isn't hard to personally have good years if you aren't letting things outside your personal control or actual influence be how you judge things.

Well the person was born into a rich family and grew up in a mansion so at least they appreciate what they have instead of being yet another "oh woe is me" rich person who is never satisfied with anything.

Well in terms of general consensus, Parasite might be at that level. TDK too. I've heard Across the Spider-Verse is amazing, but that still might need time to settle.

You suck

For real though - I had 20 years where my life fucking ate ass, and I'm finally at a point where my life is my own path. Shit is always garbage, I'm always sad and depressed, but I've gotta look at the dressing around everything and acknowledge that things are a lot better now than they used to be.

It's not set in stone yet that we are doomed to Climate Change in the far off future. There's still plenty of time to fight back against it and we don't know what kinds of technology will be invented from now to then that will help humanity survive this global threat.

As for the near future. I'm very optimistic for the 2030's going forward if we as a country keep continue to beat back Republican fascism at the ballot box in the next four general election cycles of this decade. Democrats need to keep hold of that presidency as long as fascism, and continue as a party to shift more and more to the left with each passing year. We need all chambers of government eventually under Dem control so we can pass substanive bills on an ever widening range of issues that we face, including combating against late-stage capitalism.

So far 2023 has been good. I feel like we're finally moving towards the possibility of Trump facing justice for all his crimes and that no one in the country is above the law. Even if it seems like we're only making baby steps at a time towards that reality.

I think that we'll know within the next 4-5 years whether the 2030s will suck. There's a lot going on right now, but I feel the outcome will determine the future for the longer term.
