    I remember times when I rebelled against my parents and did some pretty stupid shit, but kids today are on a different level.

      Not sure about your upbringing, but I know I also didn’t really have the means to do anything truly stupid.

      Where’d this kid get the resources to go globe-trotting to a freaking war-embattled fascist state? That’s what blows my mind. Someone responsible for him was complicit in his self destruction.
