Young people are needed because they are the only ones creating any value worth taxing or stealing.
BUT! There are more old people than young people, so democratically we skew policy towards “fuck young people”.
This means young people emigrate and not reproduce, so the country starts spiraling into economic oblivion.
So… we blame young people and move policy even further towards “fuck young people” while hoping that immigrants will emigrate away after they are done adding value we can steal. Spoiler - they will not emigrate.
A situation that is avoidable turned into a hell scape for young people. And as fascism engulfs us, all the blame gets put on the youngest who speak out.
This neglect is what fundamentally will lead us into fascism. Laws are already there, the young in Australia & UK already feel the effects of suppression of speech. And the hatered towards this lack of trust is growing within all impacted age groups.
According to the rules of democracy country should pivot towards the interests of majority. As majority ages, this means that country policy should start favoring old people… because if it doesn’t they will just vote in someone who will.

It’s almost as if you neglect young people’s needs, you get fewer. Who could’ve known.

I don’t think this situation has been avoidable.
