In the US:

* employers can rescind job offers over 20-year-old social media posts.

* rents are sky high and constantly increasing.

* health insurers routinely kill people if they are deemed too expensive to be alive.

* a literal fascist rapist billionaire is now president.

Consequently, we have a society no one will defend. It’s not that people like Putin or Xi. What Putin is doing in Ukraine is unforgivable, even if the West is partially at fault too.

The human rights issues of US-led capitalism have always been severe, but 50 years ago there were redeeming qualities, at least domestically. These days, those are gone, and I don’t blame Gen Z for deciding there is nothing about our society to defend.
