I wasn't blaming it on anyone. I was just explaining why so many young people, myself included, choose to not give any thought to things they can't control. It's not worth the mental energy and will make you depressed and miserable. I'm all for fighting for things that can be changed, but there's only so much one person can do. Prioritizing what one can give effort to is a much better way to go about it than stressing out about everything wrong with the world.
Not to berate you, but your response is as if this is something new for your generation. We all go through this shit unless we're insulated from it by daddy's money or power.
Is it worth your mental energy to fight for change? I'd say it is - over time, it's the only thing that has worked. Letting it slip for someone else to fix is exactly what screws us over, generation to generation.
Hang in there - we're all in this together. As I said before, fight the good fight.
