Pretty sure excessive phone use leads to this kind of doomerism so might not be a bad idea to force kids to touch some grass.
"Doomerism" when you live in DoomLand - Hellhole is justified. Only a total, worthless moron would think otherwise.
Even though you’re right, the attitude is unhelpful. We should try to fix things; besides I’m not sure if you guys noticed but an entire generation of 10 year olds is glued to their social media. It’s sad AF. Here are some of the results:
Even more bizarre, and brace yourselves for this stat, the average boomer is LESS likely to say that “feminism is bad“ than the average gen z’er. No joke. Almost certainly a result of social media overconsumption. Every parent I know with the exception of one allows their kids unrestricted access to the internet 24/7. Afterwards they collect mental illnesses like Pokémon. “Oppositional defiance disorder” is the funniest one, look it up.
Man seeing those graphs, all I can say is thank god for women.
