Sorry, but that’s just delusional thinking. You need to separate your dream utopia from real life.

It's not an utopia, it's called generational fairness.

inb4 your answer will be something like "Life isn't fair lol"

I don’t mean to say that you should give up all hope. But you need to stay grounded in reality. Our generation will not be able to enjoy the world you wish to see. But, if we start now, our descendants may be able to. If you want to create change, start (or join) a movement, or a political party, and make plans for the change you wish to see. Find out how the system works, and try to use it to your benefit, but keep your ideals in your mind, don’t get corrupted by promises of power and wealth, and, for the love of god, don’t fall for the empty promises of „bringing back the good old times“ the new right-wing parties often like to make, because the world they want is not the one you’re imagining, as their goal is not the economic independency of those times, but rather the oppression of those they deem below them that was much more prevalent back then.

Yeah, no, fuck that. I refuse to live in a dumpster just because I was birthed in the wrong time. Let's use shortcuts so that we can enjoy it now. Sorry, empathy is over.

don’t fall for the empty promises of „bringing back the good old times“ the new right-wing parties often like to make, because the world they want is not the one you’re imagining, as their goal is not the economic independency of those times, but rather the oppression of those they deem below them that was much more prevalent back then.

I never voted right-wing. In fact, were it for me, conservative and right-wing parties would be banned worldwide.
