Holy shit and I thought millennials and Gen X had it bad with how corporate our toys were.

I hate to be that person that’s like “omg what kids like these days is poisoning them!” Especially because I come from the Mortal Kombat generation, but between Mr Beast, social media and shit like Roblox turning every hobby into a hussle I have to wonder what effect this will have on them.

Capitalism preying on kids was bad enough when I was a kid in the 90s and 00s (and from what I’ve seen from 80s cartoons, the generation before mine was pretty bad too), but it’s a whole other level now.

Collapse is hitting hard and is only going to get worse though, so it is possible they’ll go left.
