minus-squarechahn.chris@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·12 hours agoFWIW I’m a genx who did well and I didn’t grow out of it. I know the system is rigged, I don’t want to hoard anything, and I want to live in a world where everyone does well. People that change their values because they make a lot of money don’t actually have any values.
minus-squareCherry@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·11 hours agoSame. I live small with little, I choose to recycle and not waste, I underconsume. I work to help others. Progressive and proud. It pisses me off when those around me complain about the young, if the young can’t build lives they have nothing to conserve.
