To be fair, I’m a Gen-Xer so yes, I do believe Millenials and voting age Gen-Zers share responsibility for our current state of affairs.
I appreciate your point of view and your concern for your kids. They didn’t ask for what’s coming. But the fact is, democracy is just an unstable form of government; It works for a while, but once people realize they can use a tyrannical government to vote money into their own pockets, the system collapses. It’s just the nature of the game. You can’t vote your way out of it. The parasite class is simply too big now.
Maybe something better will rise from the ashes. Maybe not. But in the meantime my focus is on maximizing enjoyment of the time I have left, trying as best I can to protect my assets while draining the system of resources, and hoping we keep this house of cards alive for another couple decades, maybe three, until I’m too old to care.
Is that the optimal strategy? Is it “psychopathic,” as you say? Maybe. Not sure. Don’t care. But I’m 10x happier as a toxic libertarian than I was as an angry Republican, so there’s that.
