And how much of that was engineered? We all know how mobile games are predatory with microtransactions. Just scale that up and introduce it to individuals who don't remember a time before that was how everything was done. This isn't entirely Gen Z's failing, but ours for failing to properly arm them against such things.
Probably most of it. But you are still responsible for letting yourself be pulled into it at the end of the day.
Society is geared towards women slutting around and needing 20 abortions, but we still hold them accountable for being a slut. Same with illegals jumping the border and niggers selling crack.
No matter what temptations society tries to hit you with, you have to be the one who says no to them. Even if that's the hardest fucking thing in the world to do.
I do agree we have failed them considerably and that's why we still fight for the future to maybe be better.
Yeah, I don't buy that. You're responsible for pulling yourself out of it, but only after you become aware that you're stuck in the trap. I'd wager a large portion of them don't even realize half of the traps they've fallen into are traps. Step 0 is to realize a problem even exists and until they get there you can't really berate them for failing to correct course.
I'd argue this isn't true at all.
You don't need to see the entire web to know you shouldn't get involved. Those of us who are older had just as many pitfalls of cigarettes and alcohol, not to mention pot, that we had to navigate around not becoming addicted to the the detriment of our life and finances.
It doesn't take a redpill awakening to recognize that having 10 streaming services cuts into your budget. You shouldn't need to be taught that even.
