This is some sage advice I wish I was given 10 years ago.
We have the opportunity to tear down the superficial standards imposed on us by boomers and society at large. You will find so much more meaning and beauty in life if you break out of the norms of our capitalist western system.
Live alternatively in all aspects of life. Don’t get suckered into patriarchal/manosphere bullshit that sells false realities built on bigotry and lies. Don’t take that corporate job, Work at a coop. Value your time and don’t work extra hard at work, you will not be rewarded for it. Instead use that energy for activism and protests in you local community. Buy from local inclusive spaces instead of giant bootlicking corporations. Don’t be capitalist programmed consumers, only buy things that you find valuable.
Define your own success, instead of playing “keeping up with the Joneses”. Live in a metropolitan cultural center instead of a bullshit conformist suburb. Vote for public transportation against the oil and car lobbies. Go to art shows, local concerts and drag shows. Support and pay those beautiful creators their worth.
Most importantly don’t perpetuate this current broken system on the next generation. Don’t even have kids unless you are ready for the responsibility of awakening them to the realities of the world and are ready to instill them with an inclusive revolutionary education and mindset. starting at day 1
Be a light in a world of darkness. For all my alternative peeps out there, you are loved and meaningful and do more for society then every banker and tech bro in existence.

This is peak millennialism.
Boomers only wish they could have main character syndrome with the alacrity of a millennial, lol.
It definitely has been going very well for the last 10 years.
You are correct, I shouldn’t listen to anyone else! And it starts by listening to this guy! /s
I like not being homeless. And we gotta get that bread to get some bread.
Here’s a couple adages that align with the sentiment here.
Comparison is the thief of joy.
If you permit it, you promote it.
Don’t let people preach at you!
Then proceeds to preach at you
>Don’t take that corporate job
Meh. Corporations can create amazing things. And they pay well, compared to a coop.
Not goinnga confirm to all the little bro non conformtusts
Society hates free thinkers unfortunately. Someone in r/antiwork mentioned that the corporate world despise free thinkers
Grow dreadlocks, smoke weed and work at the co-op.
lol
Dang dude thought he posted this on r/cringe.
You’re basically a millennial with too much ‘main character syndrome’.
Capitalism hurts the working class.
I was just thinking that
Didnt read the post because you said “that is all” and I thought you were telling the truth
Good day-morrow-aftereveningnoon, my good sir. Your advice is much appreciated, and your optimism is something to be envied.
stopped reading after this dummy slipped some anti-capitalist shit in there.
I hope people don’t conform to these ideas lol
“do more for society then every tech bro in existence.“
You do realize you couldn’t even type one sentence of this cringe slop onto the internet, without people who work in the tech industry, right?
Holy shit this is the cringiest thing I’ve read, someone shoot me in the head front or back I don’t care, this is breaking my cringe limit.
I’d love to work in a coop or nonprofit where I can make a difference but if the only job that gives me an offer that pays a living wage is a corporate job Im gonna take it. I need to pay bills.
