Ah, yes, generational antagonism. Tale as old as time. Still as completely fucking useless as it ever was.
You get it!! I was born 2000 years ago, and people love to bitch about the human sacrifices my generation performed, or the stoning of whores, or any other number of actions considered atrocities by modern standards. Like me, you're anti woke, and you get that society should never change and things are fine the way they are!
swing and miss
Being a person is complicated. This doesn't change as you get older and applying sweeping generalizations about people in certain age groups (or other time periods) trivializes the complexities of the world and the people who shape it and are shaped by it.
Don't take it so seriously. I think people just enjoy a bit of navel gazing. It can be fun to compare your own experiences with those from other generations in a tongue-in-cheek way.
There's no navel gazing here. Navel gazing assumes introspection.
Memes are super serious business don’t you know.
