Like do what you want, seriously, it's not my business But just on a very personal, aesthetic, emotional, it's-not-you-it's-me level Wanting the house with the lawn and the 2.5 kids is so fucking cringe

The Boomer normcore aesthetic is just as cringey to me as wanting to "be steampunk" and go Victorian and have a top hat on over goggles and a corset and ride in a horse-drawn carriage and say you're an agent of Her Majesty's Government and all that shit

Millennials should aspire to have no kids and quietly dream about how even though it's not under their control and none of their business it'd be nice if Gen Z were the last human generation ever before the species dies out That's just me maybe but it's how I feel

That old Syfy show Ascension wasn't awesome but it had some compelling elements and one of the things I liked about it was the younger generation on the spaceship having this movement built around the idea the planet they were going to was uninhabitable and the mission was a lie

The whole Boomer vibe is this insistent unshakable faith that the institutions they were raised in and take for granted will go on forever into the future Capitalism, democracy, America itself Social Security checks coming in the mail It just seems so stupid to me

(SPOILERS for Ascension) Trump is indeed a mad captain who fucked everything up and started flipping switches randomly on the main console and ruined the mission But he didn't actually "sabotage" or "destroy" the mission He proved there was no mission in the first place

There is no space mission, we aren't going anywhere, we aren't *moving* This isn't a spaceship, there's no engine, we *never got off the ground* We're just sitting in this basement jerking off and playing pretend until we run out of food

And the sooner you really understand and accept that the sooner you can accept a life of drinking yourself into a stupor and avoid getting yourself killed in some war over trying to fly us all the way to a new world that's as far away as it ever was and probably doesn't exist
