In the past two years, scrolling through Douyin, a bunch of 80s and 90s folks said that he is their family’s last generation. Back then, I watched it and thought it was because of JH’s childbearing—3 billion aborted fetuses—causing an imbalance in the male-to-female ratio. And for some people, no matter how hard they try, they still won’t be able to marry a wife. Cutting off the line, really, was just helplessness.
But now, the post-00s don’t date, don’t marry, don’t buy houses, don’t buy cars, don’t have little miners, don’t participate in any graduate entrance exams, doctoral exams, or civil service exams—don’t take all kinds of certificates—don’t overcompete, don’t do the “hustle” grindset, don’t work 996, don’t do 007… I can’t stop social injustice, but I can actively choose to cut off the line—to resist without violence, to not cooperate, to end myself.
So that farm owners can use humans like cattle and horses, and feed them.
What kind of society would push people to fight back with actions like this? $BTC
