Reminds me that the whole concept of generations is something manufactured of whole cloth and meant to divide us, but more than that, that real people are compassionate and understanding. All that stuff is just fake.
It gives me hope for unity.

I think there’s also an aspect of, previously we had some ignorance is bliss going about. You didn’t know, like we do today, the vast breadth of wealth possible. The near infinite possibilities that some can attain when others are simply struggling to exist. Sure, you had a concept that there are some powerful people with fuck you money out there, but it’s beaten into our heads daily now.
It’s almost reminiscent of kings and serfs, except that the extent of what’s possible for today’s “kings” is so vast that the kings of old look like serfs in comparison. The gulf between the ends of the spectrum has only increased, and drastically.
