Yeah except that for previous generations not "winning" wasn't an inherent global existential threat.
Its hard to be motivated when you know either way you're not getting the full life you where promised. Especially when the issue at hand is someone else's problem. (From the perspective of my cis Gen Z counterparts.)
I'm not saying its the right way to operate, I'm saying its how lots of people do naturally. Its unfortunately human, and its taken advantage of by design.
Its easy to keep people preoccupied when they're a weeks pay away from starvation.
It's been that way at least ever since the invention of the atom bomb.
So, yeah a global existential threat has been there for going on 80 years. And that one is quite obvious. And climate change was in the news for over 110 years, if you can believe it.

And a lot of people are selfish hateful assholes who never actually cared about the social good and only ever wanted an adventure and for themselves to get ahead.
Gen z are not unique. Again, millennials and even boomers have stood where you stand.
As for a lack of a future? Millennials aren't that much older and we are just as fucked.
