I'm Gen Z. And I ironically do not understand what "black pilled" means.

I know the Matrix pill, but that's blue!
there are two matrix pills. Red and blue. SUPPOSEDLY the red pill pulls you the rest of the way out of the brain washing and the blue puts you back in. In actuality neither pill does anything. If you watch morpheus closely, he doesnt smile until neo takes the cup of water (which he doses and is the only thing that actually would have had an effect). Lomg story short, morpheus wasnt gonna give neo a choice. That scenario is not one he concocted to give neo a choice. It was a scenario he concocted to make sure neo didnt resist.

As to what the black pill is. The black pill is essentially the realization of how screwed up the world (or the situation) truly is and the possibility it may be beyond the point of no return.

I knew about the red/blue... but what's black?
 


Zoomers gonna get it rough. Gen X was the last hurrah for a bit. GFC plus Covid plus everything else.
They are going to get it rough, but compared to all currently living generations prior, they (imo) have a better sense of awareness to them and less tolerance for ideological dead weight. So they may be able to weather the storm better than some other gens would have.
 


Ok. Ive caused quite the unintended diversion. Im sorry for that. Its definitely my fault. If anyone wouod like to continue that conversation with me lets do it in dms. I shouldnt have broached the subject here. Judgement error.

We should get back on track. My bad.

Hard to say.

Gen X is in power uncertain places and they seem to be doing better.

They benefitted from the last fumes of the 60s. Most of my friends seem to be keeping their jobs.

They're the ones who are the builders, engineers, etc in essential services. They're also the ones producing and transporting the food.

Zoomers are in the supermarkets and bars those are the jobs that will get hit the hardest. Boomers are often in pensions and right now busy hiding.

A lot of zoomers bubbles are being popped.

90s nihilism has arrived.


Generation X will tell you to F off and give you the finger while doing it. Zoomers will cry or something.


We had Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
They have Justin Beiber.

Instagram influencers are the new unemployed.

No fault if their own just born at the wrong time.

With some of this you are confusing millenials and gen z. In either case, and this diversion is my fault, this should be continued in dms.
