I post about Kamen Rider, and also living in a failed democracy that distracts me from enjoying Kamen Rider.


Lately I've been thinking a lot about the generational divide in America. The economy has been in a bad spot since I graduated high school some fourteen years ago. Or at least, that was the reason that was given for there not being any jobs.

But there's also like... not anything at all?

I can't get an education. My mother went to school at my age to learn nursing, supporting herself by working as a waitress (among other things). I am making so little money at my job (and I just upgraded from an extremely low paying one to a slightly less extremely low paying one) that I can't afford to pay back debts. I can't afford to replace clothing. I can't afford anything close to the cost of going back to school.

For decades now we've known that people are supposed to work less. Supposed to, as in that they worked less in the past and that working less causing them to be more health, and also that working less causes them to be better at working.

But it won't change.

I live in a place where there's free college--if you're a high school graduate from the same area and you literally just got out of high school. So I'm watching kids get opportunities while being denied them myself.

And my parents were given those opportunities. All future social programs are going to be like this, I'm sure. But if you a millennial? Fuck off and die, we hate you. I just like... feel hopeless. I feel abandoned. I feel like all my peers have been abandoned.

I want someone to answer for the cruelty.

At least give us a reason why you hate us so much.
