Instead of having faith in God, I have faith in the next generation to do slightly better each time. I can't really bring it to myself to tell my grandma there's no heaven or hell and her entire life has been a lie. Ignorance is truly bliss sometimes.

Slightly being the key word. I used to think we'd be fine after boomers die and millenials take over (sorry Gen X yes we always forget you) but then realized there are plenty of terrible Gen Y and then for a moment Gen Z was going to change labor politics gun control environment gender/sexuality and be super accepting but there's still a huge proportion who still want to MAGA... we'll see how bad alpha is

like my nephews say the same racist shit on their discord and valorant as I saw on 4chan 20 years ago and it's just sad

Doesn't mean people can't change. Kids just wanna feel powerful/invincible. I used to say and hear the craziest of slurs in cod lobbies back in the day. My friends and I who have said those things have just grown up when we learned their real impact and we've stopped.
