    I don’t think it is the way forward to lay blame on our elders, or to be disrespectful towards any generation other than our own. Some people are stupid, some are not. Stupity is not dependent on age. We all blunder through life and fuck up sometimes. Beeing smarter after the fact isn’t that much of an achievement.

        I wonder how many people took out 6 figure loans to fund an Art History degree they didn’t finish and now seethe all day at their barista jobs, hoping someone cancels their student debt. I bet it’s a lot. I also bet their parents advised them to do something else.

      Dude, I’m disrespectful to all generations. Respect is earned and while you should give the individual people the benefit of doubt, I have zero qualms about generalizing populations based on demographics. There are age groups that support shit that is destroying our country more than others. Recognizing that is important to understand the underlying causes that can then be applied to those individuals I spoke of.
