We can take a step back and see society for what it is, the pointless of it all. And instagram has made my generation and the next well aware of that. I think for most people when they hit their mid 30s like me see instagram as less novelty like “They have a better life/ relationship/ fitness than me” or “I’m not as involved in politics as I should be”, and just see it as the same pointlessness that it’s always been year after year after year. Comparing and fighting over politics and corrupt people vying for power is nothing new, humans have done it all of our existence.

When I grew up boomers always had this “Why are you depressed? Work all the time and be a man and make a life for yourself” attitude toward you. Now with a huge upheaval of technology, everyone is well aware the system is rigged and cracks started to form in the “just be a man” logic. Hustle culture didn’t end, in fact it got worse. But now the attitude is “You’re suffering? Sorry to hear that but everyone is just trying to survive.” Hard to explain.

I haven’t, but that would be wild
