Honest Ads, brilliant youtube channel

[AndersonsBiographer]

One of my students showed me this channel a few days ago. I've been binge-watching it ever since.

Basically, the entire Late Capitalist system is a colossal scam that's working you to death, and the sooner it kills you the better.

This guy has a similar channel, but with a Bawston accent.

That guy is funny. If he finds a shapely redhead of his own then he and Rog might have grounds for a contest.

I bought my first house on a mortgage when I was 21. It was a struggle; no car or beer for me. No fast food, no mobile phone package. OK, that last one was easy as they hadn't been invented yet.

I've upgraded a few times since and found that if you live within your means you can actually buy a house. Only once did I ever buy a car on credit, the rest of the time it was using hard cash. Now I live comfortably enough in my fully owned home, car and motorbike. I go on foreign vacations every year and have visited every continent except for Antarctica.

When Trumpers bleat that they can't afford a house it's because they donate too much money to Trump.

Ok, boomer.

Keep pretending that homeless under-30's all got to where they are because of how fucking much they all love Donald Trump.

I mean, I know good and well how lucky I am. I came from a privileged family, I went to college and I entered the labor market at the very end of the time where Western society still had the last vestiges of a functional economy.

I now own a former crack den in a town that would give Innsmouth a run for its money. On a teacher's salary, I can just about tread water here. I'm lucky. Every day for me is another reminder of just how thoroughly fucked is anyone who had the bad sense to be born later than I was.

I always hear people talking about one thing or another that Zoomers or Alphas "don't care about." They don't care about their country, their communities, their families, their education, their work ethic, and so on and so on. But, growing up as they did as semi-feral children in the post-apocalyptic wasteland that is Late Capitalism, all I can ask is why the hell should they?

Why should they care about their country? Their country has only ever cared about screwing them over. From the iraq war to the financial crisis of 2008 to climate change denial to cutting social security benefits to student debt to covid to now with sky high housing prices and inflation. I mean seriously, this country hates young people .

Yes, I was part of a generation that didn't require monthly unlimited phone contracts and three Starbucks per day to whine about not being able to afford a mortgage/deposit. A bicycle took me to work and cheese on toast fuelled me. And in the evening I watched a black & white portable sat on a box.

Poor little GenXers need a good talking to.

"I got mine, so screw you." That can work for a while, until suburbanites realize they don't have anything worth keeping. The box on a lawn is just a box on a lawn. The bank balance looks comfy until inflation, hyperinflation, and stagflation. And then the fuel shortages, that will be an interesting time.

 

[Bray123]

Oh yes, and 15% inflation/interest rates on my mortgage. People nowadays don't know what inflation is.

It's all fun and games until mobs are storming the Winter Palace.

"Unsolicited tiktok therapy is harmful, in-person therapy is inaccessable... what the Hell did people used to do?"

"Well, in my day, we used to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, and I turned out just fine."

I once asked my dad a question like this, and his response was "We sucked it up and managed it ourselves... and if we couldn't do that, then we drank ourselves stupid and we beat our wives."

Was my dad the world's most honest boomer/silent?
