100 posts,you must be kidding?

An old woman is on the floor with a bag next to her. She asks the passing school girls for any amount of cash, but the girl refuses with a middle finger. Her friends clearly don’t notice the situation, let alone care about it. The helpless woman just looks at her in desperate pain and shock as the little girl just smirks at her.

This picture breaks my heart. The senile woman is on the floor in beautiful, cultural garments, but asks for a mere donation. The girl in modern school clothing gives her a thoughtless and ignorant “f### you.”

I don’t know where this picture was taken, but it depicts what our future has become: children disrespecting elders like they were vermin killed flat on the road. I’ve seen this in many places. Little kids on their cell phones undermining what their parents have to say, little kids cussing like there’s no tomorrow, little kids worrying about their looks rather than their family. It’s everywhere; culture and respect are both dying. It’s because of the influences that these kids can easily access: media, drugs, adultery. Our world is losing grasp of the future, and we can only watch as the next generation become total monsters.

I don't think the young child in the picture is likely to have been influenced by drugs or adultery... And why are drugs and "adultery" necessarily causing culture and respect to die? People living in worse material conditions tend to understandably use more drugs, and people are more likely to be able to go without drugs if they have good things in their lives to motivate them. So maybe it's society that's the problem. As for adultery, I don't really know what you mean by the idea of young people being corrupted by adultery. Parents splitting up isn't nice for the children, but neither is living with parents who dislike and resent each other. I'm not convinced that humans "naturally" mate for life, and as long as a child has people who love and care for them, who stay in their life consistently, they should be okay.

Also, children swearing? They all do it to a degree, but it's not the words that are inherently offensive, it's the context. Even if it's a child saying "shit" when they get hurt, it's not really that offensive, but if someone calls a woman a whore or uses racial slurs to refer to other people then it is offensive.

This isn't what is happening in that photo and fuck that 'respect your elders' shit I gladly give two middle fingers to that concept.

oh my god people abandoning culture for what makes them feel more comfortable oh that wretched autonomy

Maybe they will become human wastelands or maybe they will become good looking tech-savvy communists with a sharp tongue and zero tolerance for bullshit

It's plain and simple class hatred, and a much, much bigger problem than drugs or disrespect for elders.

Down with the bourgeois tyranny of parents.

Also I don't know if the kid's action here could be called "class hatred" or anything else. Could just be a kid doing a thing she saw someone else do, without really understanding it.

Willin' are you for real?

[Comrade #138672]

She doesn't have to be conscious of her own classism.

Yeah that's a possibility.

[The Feral Underclass]

Yes, punching that very small child is definitely a proportional response...

Oh these kids today, their brattyness is nothing like children being bratty in the past!

Seriously, while it's sad to see people act callouslly towards eachother, I have to say, living in the Bay Area, there are tons of homeless people and I see people treating them like shit all the time. It's not kids or "new generations" it's just the way of things in a society of unequal power and competition where our lives are "worth" whatever the value of our job is considered to be (not just in wages) if we are "lucky" enough to have work. In neoliberal capitalism in particular, the homeless are blamed for poverty through some personal failing.

Kind of unrelated for me to focus on it but yeah this shit drives me nuts at work with people (workers and bosses) buddying up to get rid of people just full out snitch culture because the job position and how well you perform in a job that you probably didn't even choose is your social status it is your entire worth as a human being, that and the other cliche mall culture hobbies taken up outside of work. I'll never be that which is why I have employment troubles.
