Gen Z expression
Society has never been more polarised than ever before , at least as far that I can remember (Im 25 btw). And Im a pretty big history buff. I have read about these things before all throughout history and it is by no means anything new.
However reading and living through it are two entirely separate things to experience. We are literally witnessing and going through a massive historical event right now and I predict it will be one of the most important period event in history. I mean it. I am not trying to exaggerate it at all.
Wars, economic collapse, natural disasters, government authoritarianism, lost of human agency, largest income disparity, lost of hope, nihilistic tendencies. I can go on and on but I will save you the time. You get the point. None of this unfortunately will be solved anytime soon. All those patterns are converging at around the same time if you notice. The balance of the world has come to a halt. Roles that used to dictate society are being flipped upside down. Confusion and hopelessness persists and unfortunately this is just the start.

If you think this will end anytime soon or by next year, you are mistaken. As I said, this is only the beginning. It saddens me to say this myself, being a Gen Z. I really wished I could have had a more peaceful and promising future. But it seems that won’t happen. Destiny does not seem to agree .
Expect to see more instability around the world for at least a few years including things like revolutions/ civil wars. Some of the other things you should expect to see are an increase in natural disasters , wars, plague, government seeking more control rather than relinquishing them. As I have said, volatility and the intensity will only keep increasing for the foreseeable future.
Just to be clear I do not condone or support any sort of violence and certainly do not associate myself with any groups as such. The things Im saying are purely from years of research and reading I have done. They are the conclusions that I have come to . These are things that are not easy for me to accept either. In fact, it took me a long to time to come to terms with it myself.
I do see a light at the end of the tunnel. However, that light won’t likely appear after a horribly long and gruesome run through the treacherous tunnel. Who knows when that will happen and if I will be there to see it. I will leave that up to fate. The best thing I can do is to stay sane enough to survive this whole nightmare. It is not over until it is over.
To live is to suffer after all.
