Damn... what in the younger-millenial hell is this take?

Maybe drop the entitlement and stop passively waiting for someone else to provide some meaning and purpose to your life. Read a book, take a walk in a park, adopt a pet, learn to cook, play a board game with a friend, smoke a joint and watch the sun set.

I get that it's probably supposed to be some generic "capitalism is ruining the world" sentiment, but this person just sounds insufferable.

About as insufferable as this comment.

All those things combined doesn't make up for all the bullshit we have to endure to afford to do that.

And no matter what our bodies still rot and die, and your brain isn't getting backed up to "the cloud" either so might as well have never existed in the first place is a valid sentiment.

Read a book

They closed the library cause it didn't make any money

take a walk in a park

The animals all left the park due to habitat loss and the air in the park isn't safe to breathe

adopt a pet

One income isn't enough to pay for pets anymore, and two incomes means the pets are neglected

learn to cook

The family owned grocery store went bankrupt due to inflation, now you can only get food from the McDonald's and the gas station

play a board game with a friend

Most people don't have friends anymore, it's a well documented phenomenon. Probably caused by capitalism

smoke a joint and watch the sun set.

Cops will throw you in prison for it

Peak doomerism that actually proves the point that everyone disagreed with.
