Millions of children worldwide, at 0 risk of serious coronavirus complications, are suffering malnourishment, poverty, lack of normal physical movement & play as a result of lockdowns. The consequences, at this pivotal stage of their development, will last them decades. Criminal.
The most self-indulgent generation in human history, which lived a mass consumption orgy running down its ancestors' capital & saddling its children with debt, has decided to try to keep the orgy going a few more years by destroying their grandkids' future too

#TheFiatGeneration
There's no cure for death. Your best chance of delaying it is taking care of your own health. You only think it's ok to demand sacrifice from others because your life was an orgy of dependence, self-indulgent entitlement & slavish devotion to a state you stupidly think omnipotent
To all the old people demanding sacrifice from children,

How did your grandparents come to terms with their mortality? What sacrifices did they demand from you? Why are you so different and what would they do to you if they saw you acting like a little bitch over a virus?
If young people want to take the ~0% risk of going outside so they can work, eat, & live their only life, how can they possibly affect you if you stay home? You never have to leave & can hire others to bring you necessities. What entitles you to demand they waste their youth?
