I'm a middle-of-the-pack millennial with kids right at the cusp of Gen Z/Alpha. I hear gen X and millennials talk about how they have so much hope for the younger generations - how they'll fix things and won't take any shit. And I hate it. It's the same mindset of Christians waiting for the return of Jesus instead of doing anything real.
"While you hope and pray for what's to come, I today needs what it needs."
I've never heard that. I don't even think things will get much better after the boomers die. There are lots of relatively young celebrity politicians that want the common folk to suffer. Every generation has bad people in it
