When you’re young, social interaction is just so engrained in your daily life.
School, hang outs, nightlife. The opportunity to be social is never ending.
But you don’t fully understand at the time that those opportunities get erased quickly, and all that’s left are the people you fully invested in when you were young.
I agree with this except for my admittedly radical opinion that anything you need to live should not be tied to work.
Food, clothes, shelter, healthcare. The bare minimum of those categories should be free. I’m talking like prison quality. You should not have to earn the right to live.
I’m imagining the original person that created that meme being like “I’m so unaffected by that dude’s trolling that I’m going to draw a meme to show people how little I’m thinking about it”.
I support the trolling of everyone

It’s just the normal capitalist cycle.
Gonna take something that impacts every single person in the country and emboldens them to act. Something like the government taking pornhub and onlyfans away on the same day.
Seems like they should be afraid of violent revolution.
CEOs would rather be rich and die tomorrow than middle class and live for 1000 years.
Yeah I feel that.
Honestly I’m going to sound like an old man but the internet ruined society in a lot of ways. I mean I’ve enjoyed its benefits my whole life and my profession is centered around it. No doubt it has benefits.
But we were not ready for it. Technology advanced faster than human beings matured. We weren’t prepared for this thing that could grant us all of our wishes instantly.
On top of that, talking with someone on the internet is absolutely not how you talk to people in real life. Yet, most of our conversations happen on the internet. It trains you to be able to turn off experiences that you don’t like. It trains you to be uncaring towards people with no repercussions.
So when you are in the real world, it’s like you forget how to cordially coexist with people.
It is tragic. Like you said.
