It's time to chew bubble gum and upvote this. And I'm all out of bubble gum.
I may not get this because I don't know who this guy is in the middle.
Does removing color mean something more than just realizing how bad those signs are
It's a reference to the movie They Live. The protagonist finds glasses that let him see the hidden truth of our world.

The joke in this meme is that the truth isn't even hidden anymore, it's embraced.
Here's the scene this is referencing. The joke is that nothing changed with the glasses.
Oof. I think at least this newest generation all were born with those glasses. I hope they don't lose them.
From what I've read it's actually the opposite.
They don't see a future so they'll gladly spend extra money on luxury items so they can enjoy them while they last
That seems different though. They know the system is rigged. No pretending it isn't.
