anyone else scared to death of the REAL obvious signs of control the younger generations are exhibiting lately

like im watching all these yt video essays on microblading, "looksmaxing", anti-aging routines, "signs that your partner is micro-cheating", teens and young adults' obsession with categorizing everything and turning everything into an aesthetic/trend (wtf was up with those "blueberry milk nails" like???), the existence of PURITEENS... i mean like

im not saying younger teens are developing OCD or anything but jfc this is all snowballing into scary symptoms lately. how tf are 14 year olds on tiktok doing a 19-step skincare routine "to prevent wrinkles"? YOU ARE FOURTEEN

#mine #i weep for this newer generation #i know that every generation has their own traumas #and that not every single human being in one 'generation' is just like their peers #but im.... very worried that we're gonna have a repeat of the last century in the exact same structure #20's-30's is a great time for queer and minority culture #lots of advancements flourishing #then boom idk WAR maybe #and thats lookin more and more like the case every single day #maybe the US wont go to war per se but this country will most certainly cause another one in our lifetimes #and then all of a sudden culturally we regress back to puritan values and restrictions just like the 50's #im JUST SAYIN #boomers are the way they are bc the silent generation buttoned themselves up too tightly #and now look where we are #i know teens nowadays are horribly depressed and its not for no reason #but yall have GOT to fight to create a better future for your kids and other ppls kids #otherwise we'll see racism and sexism of likes we've never seen before #kids are ALREADY getting into phrenology with this looksmaxing and skincare bs #and throwing spiritualism into the mix with 'angel vs witch faces' def doesnt help either #kids..... learn your history #do NOT fall into fascist rabbitholes #ffs #AND THERES NO SUCH THINGS AS THOUGHT CRIMES DAMNIT
