Again, you’re looking at the situation from a completely wrong angle.
Seriously guys, are you unable to understand that your own position is not that of the current youth?
Yes, having a house taken away is bad, but let’s be realistic here: how many people did that really affect and how did the kids look at it? For most kids, in 2010 this whole thing was over. And they were seen as something fixable, and people ostensibly worked on fixing them. There was (and this is important!) a clear, realistic path out of the pit.
We don’t have that today. What is the path out of a looming fascist revival? What is the path out of a full blown climate crisis? What is the path out of a society ruled over by rich old men?
The youth has no self efficacy left. We don’t have it either, but we just throw a bunch of copium every day and ignore the problems.
