Getting your shit together is only possible when you're very young and are still developing. Having a skilled, wise mentor (experienced, knowlegeable father or getting one via family network, or apprenticeship) is crucial because it sets you on the right track at the start and saves a lot of time without trial and error method. Wasting your youth means that you've wasted your entire life. Look at all the succesful athletes, musicians, artists, combat aces etc - they were setting records at very early age. This whole "blooming in your 30s, men age like fine wine" myth is complete bullshit made for naive ratracing wageslaves. Our grandfathers were already having several kids, a piece of land and were able to OWN (not rent) property when they were our age. Large family is a very powerful economical unit not to mention the network, supportive neighbourhood, homogenous/monoethnic ideological society which no longer exists. We're the most atomised and crushed generation in history. No guiding hand, no path, no purpose, no direction, no faith, no elderly experience nor wisdom, no role model, no heritage, no nothing.
Each generation has to build and maintain the roads for the future generations. The roads we're using are fucked up beyond repair and are leading us to a dead end.
We are living in the worst timeline possible: rampant gynocracy, feminism, individualism, racemixing, immigration, crashed housing/stock markets, hyperinflation, unregulated free markets, globohomo, mindless consumerism, lgbt cancer, demographic winter, near zero birthrates, ageing population, dead subcultures. A huge chunk of today's zoomers are sexless and friendless social outcasts, just like japanese hikkikomoris. We're stuck in a limbo, we are totally powerless and nobody will ever help nor remember us.
We are the first generation that is going to die without any purpose.
