A single-speaker YouTube monologue arguing that older activists (baby boomers) promote a victim narrative that tells young people the world is against them. The speaker contends this narrative is a cynical political tactic intended to activate younger generations for political ends and claims it contributes to increased depression, anxiety, and a sense of helplessness.
One of the biggest reasons that there's so much depression and anxiety is because we're being told by baby boomer activists that are trying to conscript people your age into a culture war that the reason that you're suffering is because the whole outside world is against you and the whole outside world is screwed up. And that's just nothing more than a political play by people my age to activate you to our political purposes. It's like, I want you really, really mad and sad and angry and afraid. Yeah, I want you to be afraid and saying, I can't live a good life until the world looks different. And so I got to vote for this guy or buy product or follow this person on social media or read this newspaper or watch this channel, and I'm a victim. And so the world has to become a particular way, so I'm not a victim anymore. That's completely dangerous and incorrect thinking. And it's a cynical ploy to activate your generation for different political agendas.
