Ich lebe ganz klar in der falschen Zeit. Und ich hoffe diese Bullshit-Phase geht schnell vorbei, damit ich in meinem Leben wenigstens eine Periode hatte in der es sich so anfühlt als wäre man zu Hause.

Erst wird man als #Millenial sein Leben lang von der sicken Boomer-Kultur erdrückt. Und dann kommt eine Generation nach, die sich alles schön redet. Aber #Zoomers in Wirklichkeit in einer noch beschissenener kommerzialisierten und emotionalisierteren Welt lebt als die #Boomers. (Tik Tok)

At least in the Bay Area I meet a lot of Xer activists. It makes me think of how much past and current rage is there, but it's behind a facade we built because we kept getting kicked in the guts by the economy every decade and we kept going.

So we Xers are about 45-60 if I judge the defintion right. We got to watch our jobs vanished, housing become an investment become a collapse. We watched banks bailed out when we weren't. We got a lot of promises in the 80s that didn't pan out.

Yeah, a sliver did well. But most Xers I know are very, very cynical.

Oh and we've got retirement coming up. How's that looking?

As an Xer I got to see about one economic downturn a decade, and of course got hit by them. There were assorted mideast wars that of course all backfired on us eventually. And of course the usual trickle-down economics.

I divide Xers into two kinds - survivors and shattered. You learned to make it or it broke you. The divide is very stark right now among Xer crowds.
