i am in an interesting predicament since from a young age i never really saw the Simpsons or John Hughes America. In fact, i never even had that delusion since I'd never watched any of that to a significant degree as a child. By middle school, so about the time i could become conscious, i could already see what was happening and following that YouTube rabbit hole of the modern culture war as it was gearing up. I already lived in a feminist and female dominated world with a single mother. So, to me, I've never had the delusion destroyed that i lived in a functional society, since all I've known from my window into society is dysfunction.
In fact, I've actually seen excitement at the chaos in the modern world, liking to see what comes next even if i have to go through it honestly quite excited to see what comes next and rise through it.
Though, of course, this is also profoundly stupid because i don't even have a proper girlfriend at 22, and my entire life was more about studying and grades while living in the capital of Latin America, and thus divorced from most of the decay in much of the rest of the US, though still feeling the effects of managerial bloat. So, quite different from this.
