| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 79576961 United States08/18/2022 10:59 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Great post. Mostly agree. I do worry though that millennials and zoomers have a superficiality to them and, as well, move on too quickly and suffer from a lack of focus. Blame the phones in their hands. Because of this, I think they are easily weaponized. See every "Karen" video, tik tok trend, etc. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79576961 It's like a generation that never grew up. The question is...was it because of bad parenting, lack of opportunity, overconsumption or just wanton and pervasive immorality? But, now, this generation is morphing towards extremism. I guess it's some kind of over-compensation or backlash for all the fuck ups they have made. Why can't this generation find a middle ground? A steady track? Yawl think people with honor and wisdoms are bad and aging poorly, you ain't seem nothing yet. generations AFTER "x" are the dummies going for covid, PC crap, LGBT and progressivism... so i dont know what you are on about.

User ID: 74452685 United States08/18/2022 11:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So stupid to think everyone born during certain years can be grouped to have the same traits and behaviors. No different than astrology where everybody born in the same month is supposed to be the same. No different than racist stereotypes where everybody with certain physical characteristics are supposed to be the same. The best thing to say about generalizations is that they are generally not accurate. Last Edited by Secretizer on 08/18/2022 11:34 AM |
