I wonder how the generations of the late 1800s looked at the lost generation. They were born into the industrial revolution's heyday, the time of Rockefellers and Carnegies blazing the trails. The times of machines that would replace thousands of workers being developed and said workers grappling with that loss. They were often more politically active and business minded in their votes, as well as pointed out that heading West and working your own homestead was a guarantee for success, only for said land to be snapped up and overcrowded, and the Lost Generation never benefiting from said guarantee. The newspaper was popular and journalisms infancy was looked at as too wide an influence on the thoughts of malleable young minds being sent into extremism. Books were more commonplace as parents worried as some of their children were refusing to socialize instead carrying their favorite novel wherever they went. Parents would cry out at the contents of some books that were unsuitable for children such as in Alice in Wonderland or the Wizard of Oz despite purchasing them for their children without prior screening. Mark Twain said it best, History never repeats, but it often rhymes.

The ending almost got me in tears... but It got me thinking. We were tought by watching our parents and the people around us to Always say: I'm good. I'm doing ok. When in reality you're brain is spiraling out of control or you want to scream, yell, beat on walls be anything but ok. We're not ok but the trust to tell someone how you really feel is almost like saying I love you to your partner nowadays because it's ingrained in our brain to no show emotions, keep it in making us suffer in silence. It's annoying but wearing a mask over your truth is..... IDK, easier but it's breaking our minds

[@ciclovitale6832]

and i would like to add: In China during this time frame many people who came of age had to endure the consequences of the century of humiliation, the economic exploitation, the opium crisis, the fall of the revolutionary government that abolished the tyrannical Qing dynasty into dozens of cliques and government On all of that they had to endure the bloody invasion by Japan, the continuation of the Civil War and one of the harshest famines in recorded history, yet they still managed to break free of this seemingly endless century, by working for a better tomorrow So, if an illiterate chinese farmer could carry on though the horror for the well being of the future generations, so can you

But the call of a reset is so appealing. Tear down everything and start again from scratch? Maybe it's a natural disaster, ww3, or just natures balance ripping civilization apart, but for the survivors, if there are any, that's a completely fresh start to do better. Fixing what we have is so much harder.

In all his humor and satire i sometimes forget that Terry Pratchett was very capable of writing deeply meaningful stuff. ‘In a hundred years we’ll all be dead, but here and now, we are alive’ is a beautiful way of looking at it

[@juliagoetia]

Beautiful? It's just copium. Escapism. Running away from reality to hide in our heads and pretend things are different. That death isn't coming and that all the people who are born solely to suffer and die and never know hope or kindness either don't exist, deserve it ... or that it's all going to amount to something. As if any prize would be worth the price paid. Who cares if we achieve utopia tomorrow? All the dead people will never see it. They died in fear and pain and you can never undo that. This world is evil. Am I meant to find joy dancing atop the bones of others? Am I meant to drown out the screams and pleas for help with drunken debauchery? What a disgusting existence.

[@dandelionhood4508]

I find the interwar period to be one of the most fascinating times in history, because it's so similar to our situation now. There was a catastophe which shook the world and influenced the way we live and behave and communicate just a few years ago which everyone is desperately trying to forget but left undeniable scars on most of us, especially young people. Our economies, thriving after we've recovered from the war and the pandemic but seeming increasingly unstable as the system is flawed. Young people rebelling and challenging social norms. And the increasing doom of political radicalisation, dictators and now, climate change. The interwar period was a transition period and today feels just the same. We young people especially are cynical and scared shitlessly, but there's also a tiny amount of hope that everything will be okay, even though it's not just yet. And to everyone who feels cynical and hopeless, I would like to recommend you one of my favourite authors, Franz Kafka, a Czech/Austrian author who lived through ww1 and whose works have a very eerie, hopeless, dry and surreal style in a way never seen before. The common theme in most of his stories is that the main character is suddenly trapped in a surreal situation (like being turned into a beetle) while the characters just accept it and continue living, but described in a very dry way to the point it's so absurd it's starting to feel real. (For example Gregor Samsa, the protagonist of "The Metamorphosis" is not worried about being turned into a beetle with no knowledge why or how to reverse it, but that he's now unable to go to work and be 'of value' to his family). It’s not an easy read, but I'd recommend "The Metamorphosis" or "The Trial". Neither are particularly easy to the stomach, but are definitely worth a shot. If you don't feel ready to commit to an entire book, he's also written a bunch of short stories. I'd recommend "The Neighbour" which explores irrational paranoia caused by stress. (Wow, this turned from a comment about the struggles of history into me fangirling about an author who has been dead for 100 years. I have really no idea how that could have happened)

[@diegoandresriverasaavedra7106]

"There is a future" That shook me to the core, even after so many horrifying things that happened back then, with no way out or signs of things ever getting better, as a society we STILL managed to push forward. we survived. and we survived to have a better quality of life of what people back then ever imagined. there is was a future back then, and we will have a future too.

[@Lunam_D._Roger]

Well, for a while. Do you ever count? The insects I mean. How many, every summer. The Meridional Overturn is threatened. It won't be long before everything starts to hit very hard and very quickly. Everyone's just pretending we're fine, or at least okay-ish, but we're on the verge of an absurd ecological disaster the likes of which the planet hasn't seen in millions of years. *We* might have a future right now, but it might not be a very long one. *And our children might not have one at all.*

[@Ikajo]

It _is_ different though. Due to climate change and pollution, we are looking at a world in much greater peril than ever before. The ones who will be lost this time, the children, might not get a future.

And what did we actually accomplish with that awful sacrifice? This isn't a hopeful thing, it's horrifying. Centuries, millennia of torture and death await us. How do you not despair?

[@diegoandresriverasaavedra7106]

​@@juliagoetiathis has kept me awake at night, not really knowing what to say, but here it goes. It is honestly very scary to think of what is to come, yet, none of us will be here in the centuries to ever find out. we can only try out best to live out best life today, and try to build a better tomorrow. We will not see the fruits of that, but just as people in the past didn't saw the fruits that let us all to get this far, there will certainly be more of that. Honestly, my greatest fear is that the world will die before we do, and that hasn't fully gone for me, but it conforts me that as in the past as humanity we have had both rises and falls, life and death, happiness and sadness, we can see that nothing last forever, not even the bad things. We have to strive for a better future, and try to live the best life we can. What is the alternative? To simply give up and perish? We will never know if things get better if we do so, we must instead fight for another day, know that there is always a glimmer of hope in the distance, try to get better, process and accept the hardships and failures of life, and always stand up and try again. I don't know you, but I hope you, and anyone reading, get to live the best life you can.

...I'm going to say something important here also... there's one thing that many many people forget about Humanity... we're a lot tougher then we think... don't believe me? Let me paint you a picture... imagine a young man born different, born with his mind not like normal people's... and at first... he struggled... but with the right hand, he managed to keep moving forward and had almost gotten to a pretty great state. He was capable of doing great things... and then the wrong hand slapped him to the ground, leaving his mind to be his worst enemy and his spirit crushed... but not broken, never broken. He got back up, slowly but surely, he's still getting up even now... and even with the things he lacks... he'll sure as hell make up for it with all of his other abilities. He has seen life, he has seen death, he has been helpless and he has been helpful. He's realized many things about him and the world around him... and maybe... just maybe, he can help it heal a little bit. ...Now I'm not sure if I can do that last part... but I sure as hell know I've been through all that other stuff. It's understandable to wanna give up, hell... I can't even BLAME you for wanting to... but let me tell you something important. Don't. Give. Up. The moment you give up, it's all over. Get back up and try again. It'll hurt, you'll end up probably bruised quite a lot... but get back up. Try again. You'll fail sometimes but you'll be able to succeed. It's painful... but it's worth it. I'm here today with so much knowledge, a lot of compassion, a great support system, and a *chance* ...And I may not know whoever is reading this... I'll never know who you are and you may never really know who I am... but all I know is this. Continuing forward is worth the effort, even if it doesn't seem like it. So go out there and make your goddamn story. Because that's what matters... hope this helps.

Prior to the war the public perception of humanity as a whole was one of unbounded optimism and hope for the future, new marvels of human ingenuity and brilliance were advancing humanity at a rapid pace that had never been comprehended before, steam engines, telegrams, the internal combustion engine, powered human flight ECT people were healthier, happier and lived in a level of material luxury and wealth nigh incomprehensible to previous generations. And then the great war, human ingenuity and brilliance were devoted to constructing implements of war, mass destruction and death, the flamethrower, machine gun, poison gas, artillery of such size and on such a mass scale that even today were astounded to hear of how much of it was used, not to mention millions of young men returning home maimed and scarred not only physically but mentally, entire nations falling, the great crowned heads of europe bening removed from their seats of power and shoulders. To have such an astounding feeling of optimism, and pride and hope in your fellow human beings be so rapidly torn away would surely break the spirit of people the world over

[@skullzans]

The thing the older generation had that we don't, is the Freedom of mind. While we are both seeking escapism and both do have it... in the modern day, we can ignore everything. We can just avoid life until it actually kills us and gets us killed. And while that was the case in the olden days to a slight extent, nowadays it is far more notable, and there is one problem with that. People will do literally anything to maintain a mundane capacity of life. They will suffer literal torture, abuse, malignities, insults, degradations, loss of desire to do anything or live. SO LONG as they have those mundanities, they are going to stay stagnant, any passion that brings them out of that cycle is temporary and dependent on the current strength of the passion. However... This does not mean its hopeless, but it does mean we are able to escape into ignorance easier, and easier lose a sense of unity. But this video's points are still valid. We can break this cycle by using the past as refrence, but we cannot rely on everyone becoming rallied by abuse. We cannot wait for anyone to step up, we have to fight to make change ourselves, because not everyone will, nor can. People are not evil, they are not greedy or cruel, but they are hyper patterned creatures. Our past is a sign that even today we can change for the better, and I believe that things will either change for the better or the slow decline into death. But I believe that this will become better. Even if its overtly optimistic, I side that things will change, with only a little determination of the right guiding hands. Who bares these hands? I know not. But I know people exist out there who have them and are not to use them in malignity. If you seek to create change, understand things so that you have better awareness of what will do what, and History is our best teacher as we can know what the amazing and terrible results of past attempts were. Look to the past, and to the present. See not the arbitrary lines being drawn, but what things move to create the paths we tread upon. Ask questions, always, even to this very ideaology.

Common misconception: the USA had a roaring 20s, then a stock market crash caused the Great Depression in the 30s. But Europe was already in a Great Depression during the 20s, due to rebuilding from the war. Germany, Russia, and Poland especially spend the 20s embroiled in political violence.

[@Ikajo]

The winning countries pushing everything on Germany was a big reason why Hitler managed to rise to power. Nationalism rose from the ashes of war, creating the fertile ground for the second war. The video, and the text written, holds a lot of nice sentiment but doesn't see the whole picture. Like, Narnia was a vehicle for teaching children about Jesus. Tolkien was a devout Christian. Frodo was basically allowed to go to heaven. And he hated the industrialised world. But Americans being America centric is nothing new.

In England, in order to get more enlisted soldiers, they allowed people to enlist and serve together in the same unit on a large scale.

You can find credits under the fern. - You don't even ask my name? - Did you come up with a good one? - Lara. - Farewell, Lara. - Wait! I found a solution! - What solution? You know that self changeing is illegal. - We can create a copy of you, without consciousness and senses. We make it so that it looks like it killed itself and we pretend that you are a clone like me. What do you think? This way you can be Nara! - This could work... 2. - Wakey wakey! How are you feeling? - Tired. Very tired. Is the puppet ready? - There is nothing at the moment I can't handle by myself. - Changing a body really is different from growing one, huh? - It certanly is. Feel free to get as much rest as you need. Oh, and happy birthday!
