It's sickening, really. I'm sure I'm not one of the only ones of Gen Z who browses these boards, among others, but it's difficult not to start dooming. Our schools are putting up plexiglass between desks, our teachers parrot the state-approved propaganda, most things are closed here or require us to "socially distance," so mostly everyone spends their time force feeding whatever self-destructive narratives are being pushed through pop culture and social media.
If that's not enough, the few people who do understand bullshit is going on don't think much of it because there's so much apathy in Gen Z and people don't really understand that we're living in a time where mass catastrophe is completely possible. They can't fathom it, because of how good we really have it, but everyone has been forced into lockstep with this sort of savior complex, following the whole "being oppressed, anti-white" dogma because they think that it puts them on some sort of moral pedastal. They teach things in the classroom masked as apolitical then tell us we need to identify with it so we can "find out who we are" and fight for justice. Most just care about what rappers are getting out of jail, how many attention points they can fit into their basket, or are ripping their hair out and screaming at the sky because they can't figure out which fucking gender they are, or some bullshit like that. More boys are being demasculinated and are directionless and disenfranchised in terms of growing up to be men, more of the girls are running to OnlyFans as soon as they can and feel entitled to acting promiscuos, which is being encouraged ontinuously.
It feels like I'm in NPC Headquarters. The only thing that's been keeping me sane besides trying to educate myself with books or exercise. I don't really know how long that'll last.
There is plenty of good in this world but we don’t see it because society has been infected with a focus of the negative. I have learned that balance is required for happiness. While it’s not healthy to to live with your head in the sand, you also can’t stay embroiled in the fray. Many people here find peace with The Lord, others are warriors but the fighter must be replenished and the spirit must be fed with purpose and a reason to fight. Those reasons are the things and things in life we are grateful for.
I fight because I believe that there are bright people who are in my situation who feel the same way that I do. I'm trying to be a good influence to the people in my life, maybe they'll follow the example. Gen Z needs its leaders, but those of us who are well informed have our voices drowned out by the incompetent ones that project the message they want every influencer to parrot. I'm not worried about reprecussion, or slander, or people demonizing me because I say what I believe to be true. The problem with that is there's not a lot of mediums for us to connect without being completely shut down.
There's a lot of demoralization, and people think they lack the ability to create change, but change always starts on an individual level. It's hard to pull people out of the melting pot of ideology.
