The adults of today? Or the children of yesterday when the cards were dealt? Maybe today’s children as well since eventually they are tomorrow’s adults…

I understand the rage but this is just too simplistic a view. And it doesn’t help, it just steer some shit.

The children of today will be adults one day, at which point they will have the same adult responsibilities as any of us. You can't hold children accountable for the failings of adults, though. You seem to be making a backwards-looking, fatalistic argument that no one should be held responsible for anything because it all stems from somewhere in the past long before they were a responsible adult. I'm saying we have a responsibility as the adults of today to acknowledge the impact of history but choose empowerment and action to change our present and future. That starts with awareness and accountability, two things that are significantly lacking in our discourse currently (particularly discourse in the US, as I have been arguing).
