I don't use social media, never did, nor watch TV - and i have the same outlook - because that's what's happening. And i had the same outlook when i was a teen too.

Increased divide between rich and poor, lack of middle class in my country, our pension/retirement system has been a joke for 10s of years and we were joking in middle school about it(!). Politicians actively working against country's best interests to line their own pockets is a norm - and that applies to every party so even elections are a joke.

Add high inflation to that, as a teen with limited budget you tend to notice price rises of snacks and fast food.

USA was hailed as a the promised land here when i was a teen, disillusionment with it is also a contributing factor.



Hacker News is social media, and a pretty opinionated one at that.


IF you go that far then you can even call fora a social media sites.

the social media in context were obviously sites akin to twitter, facebook and others.

but alas HN incorrecting strikes again.
