@nope.5928 Not fun. At least you guys had a real childhood.

@Jenacide Tomboys are proper. Being told and forced to accept this trans identity for children is not.

All these stories popping up about trans makes that Tide Pod challenge seem like child's play.

@EmmaLouise91 I assume this was the early 2000s. Honestly though, while I think too many people look back at those days with rose tinted goggles, to a degree, I think it was a better time for a lot of kids. Our medical leaders at least didn't seem to shove down this gender ideology, which wasn't a thing back 20 years ago. Only the most insane and extreme of people would even suggest it, and if they did they were simply laughed at. I'm 36 years old and I'm seriously at the point where I don't even know if I want kids at this point. I have a 10 year old niece and 7 year old nephew, who thankfully are being raised properly without being subject to this nonsense. I blame the education system, the leaders running America and western society, and an entire generation of neglectful, self loathing parents who aren't willing to let their kids become proper adults.

@ChoseDeath Only we don't have a good leader right now.

@pietrayday9915 As a Millennial, part of this applies to us as well. I'm 36 years old and I still cannot afford kids. I've gone thru several girlfriends who were utterly demoralized and by whom I could tell could never be real mothers. It's very tragic to see what is happening to the Zoomers.

@pietrayday9915 I miss the days when Tomboys were accepted for who they were. Nowadays this medical industry encourages these kids and young adults to simply transfer to the opposite gender. America and the rest of western society is hosed.

@NazzyDragon True, although I wouldn’t look past Generation X either. It’s been nothing but downhill since the 1990s.

@HolyCodzta It’s just depressing that we have to say ‘touch grass’ as an expression. And everywhere I go, I see everyone from kids to old grandparents in their 70s and 80s glued to their phones. Touch grass is a meme nowadays because everybody these days is on an electronic screen. I lived part of the life you did, and it was great. I’m considering going “off the grid” so I can experience it again.

@arminiusofgermania Don't live in California.

@SomeCanine You need to look at the other side. These young Zoomers were being told to isolate themselves during the COVID-19 pandemic. Does that help them in the long run? Of course it doesn't. I have a sister in her 40s and a brother-in-law in his mid 40s who are trying their hardest to keep their kids away from all the nonsense that has affected identity politics and gender ideology. The kids are minors obviously, and it becomes extremely important that they don't fall into a trap. Say what you will on past generations, but despite the nostalgia running strong, I truly believe the 1980s and 1990s was simply a better time for the kids. The 2000s was when things started going downhill. As Millennials, we were deliberately lied to and misled by school officials and doctors. My generation is now in a rough spot. We were supposed to be good role models for the Zoomers. Instead, we're grooming them and we're having them believe that looks matter and that they need to be active on Instagram and Twitter. All while our entire system has gone downhill from a combination of the COVID-19 pandemic and a general lack of empathy. Our medical institutions are now run by profit. The same institutions are telling our kids to consider changing genders, while the parents are either unwilling to be with their kids or they're sending them to a public school system destined for failure. Probably a good reason why so many young people are 'beta males' and 'man children' rather than actual men who have critical thinking and are self sufficient on their own.

@ChoseDeath Not that easy. You just look out your window and you see things are looking quite bleak. Having a few people do it isn’t enough. It has to be a change that the masses can agree with. Right now, I’m just scrapping to get by, as I’m sure a majority of us are doing due to inflation.

@SomeCanine I think too many people are looking at Millennials, who are nowadays the parents raising the kids, to be responsible for grooming the kids and trying to get laws changed to where kids can change gender before they even become adults. This is tragic. And it's one of many reasons why I still don't have kids even though I'm 36 years old. Because I'll probably just do the same things these parents are doing to their kids now. Not spend enough time with them. Not care for them. These parents don't deserve to have children. It's no wonder so many young people in our society have suicidal thoughts, because they have little to no good role models that they can be inspired by and look up to while they are going to grade school and high school.

@SomeCanine This is nothing new. And your perception of people having to live in a religious family to have any sort of family value and community is flawed. Does that mean that Atheists have no role? Christians often fail to acknowledge the many other religions. Ultimately I'm a free religion thinker. Support your own religion. Form your own sense of community. That's freedom. That's what western society should be celebrating and idolizing. Instead, kids are being forced to go with the pride flag nonsense, and the whole LGBTQ debate is radicalized. This entire society is falling apart.

@Fralorgrafon I hate to say it, but at 27 years old you were a victim of the system.

@melhawk1352 This is true for every generation. But unfortunately it's already too late for them to go back or have the system try to correct their mistakes.

@loopywren Your world was different. If you are 82 years old, then you’ve seen a lot. You saw the 1960s with firsthand experience. How did you feel when the counterculture came to being? Did you hold old fashioned values that parents of the 1940s and 1950s had? Were you moved by their courage with their stories? The Greatest Generation held up to their name. Your generation that came after was responsible for the Civil Rights Era here in the United States. The British Invasion that cemented a place in history for The Beatles was your generation. Nowadays we have lost Zoomers who can’t produce any music with quality. They can’t make rational decisions. They have been manipulated by social media and partisan politics. Young men are beaten to the ground and told they are nothing. Young women are used up by the time they are 30, unable to find a proper husband.

@Zed-Corps Technically you count as a late Millennial. But I can sympathize because both your peers and older Zoomers are practically in the same boat.

@jonathanbonde8808 But this is exactly what's happening. Should we really be surprised that the amount of mass shootings have skyrocketed over the past 20 years? Most of those shootings were committed by kids and young adults in their 20s, who all suffered from mental illness. If the World War II generation was the ideal period for manhood in America, the Millennial and Zoomer generation are proving to be manchildren who still live with their parents, despite the fact they are in their mid 20s and older. The Baby Boomers coddled their children, and we are now seeing the results front and center. It is not pretty. It is downright ugly.

@animeloveer97 Checkmate.

@MrFallenone There's no real funding for mental health facilities. That's a good reason why these mass shootings keep popping up in our society. Sure, those facilities wouldn't eliminate the problem entirely, but they could go a long way towards helping young people to a better future. We're not doing that. Instead, we're telling college kids and young 20 something year olds to take 'anti-depressants' and other prescriptions by doctors who were bought by the establishment. Self harm and suicidal thoughts become more commonplace. I live close to Portland, Oregon and seeing what has been going on in that city has been a true nightmare. Too many bums and degenerates who cannot get the help they need. The best that can happen is them being thrown in jail, which solves nothing.

@dynasticdesignsPNW Leadership in the United States has been an absolute joke these past few decades. Young people can’t even get the basic necessities of living with their slave jobs. Meanwhile, you got people like Jeff Bezos, a man with a net worth of nearly $200 billion USD, continue to get richer. Ask yourself why the attack on Capitol Hill had to happen.

@dynasticdesignsPNW I’m in my late 30s. I think the door for people like me is gradually closing. The 18 to 35 age demographic is in serious trouble. I live not far from Portland, Oregon, and it is literally a madhouse. Bums everywhere, tent encampments in places that would be deemed unthinkable a few short years ago, the list goes on. Some of those squatters are not stupid, they simply became victim of the times and the drug epidemic. I work a job where I regularly help younger people with life tips. I want them to succeed and set high standards for the next generation to follow. Unfortunately the system we’re living under is making it very difficult. These Zoomer kids have no real leader either. Joe Biden is not the future. And while Ukraine is suffering right now, we are not genuinely putting America first. We can’t take care of our own people here.
