I really wish my generation was a bit more optimistic. Yeah shit sucks, don't get me wrong. But have you guys seen all of history? This is par for the course. Yeah the challenges are different but every generation had their challenges. And yeah baby boomers definitely had it better than us, but that doesn't mean there's nothing but bad stuff to come. You have to take life with the good and the bad and make the most of it.

The bad is starting to look more and more like an impending global societal collapse with every passing day though

I mean, they literally thought WW1 and WW2 would start the apocalypse.

Nuclear armageddon was a daily fear of the Cold War, and almost happened several times.

The difference now is that we know all we need to do to ruin Earth for human life is to do nothing.
