From across the pond it feels like American millennials and Gen-Z have already declared their country to be a failed state.

How much can a nation progress if its youth is pessimistic about everything? It doesn't matter whether the pessimism is based on actual problems (healthcare, housing prices etc.) or learned through terminally online reddit/twitter consumption.

As the folk-wisdom goes "Twitter isn't real life". The ones who have that opinion are the terminally online.

It’s amazing reading this knowing a billionaire squandered that brand name after pouring billions into acquiring it. I hope when the smoldering ruins are auctioned at the bankruptcy proceedings jack gets to buy it back and uses it for his decentralized network.

Don’t confuse what you read online or in the news with what is actually happening.

If we're talking about the contents on TikTok, there's probably a very good reason why the ultimate owner of TikTok, the Chinese government, wants that kind of content to be the majority sentiment on the platform.
