They were channeling their inner Gen X with that one. "Whatever."

I always kinda wonder if they went the same experience of being misunderstood by their previous generation. Old people get inflexible and its also an indication the world is still changing alot with each generation. Still the lack of self reflection is astonishing.
Here's the thing: They don't need to get with the times, we don't expect them to. But they should shut the hell up judging others. What's screwed up is the selfishness and lack of empathy for people.
When I was growing up, my mom loves using the phrase which would roughly translates to "while you are still going forward, I'm turning back", which is a thought terminating cliché to mean do as she says because she has experience. She doesn't say it as much as she used to because she regrets having been a strict parent. But if she pulls that line again, I have a comeback ready to tell her "you've turned back, but the environment you grew up in changed".
Failures in education and misunderstanding aren't unique to any one generation.
Think about how the right wing genz have completely abandoned gender and racial equality and are voting against green politicians.
Think about how millennials have embraced AI and get their news from corporate-controlled social media despite all the evidence for its harmful effects on democracy and critical thinking. The millennials who support the genocide in Gaza.
People aren't convinced by the fakeness of modern media and want to believe what they already believe. That's something that's affecting all the generations.
You can call me a boomer and you'd be wrong.
It's definitely based on where you live... Whether you get a USDA backed loan, etc... I financed my house, 15 yrs ago when rates were between 3 and 6 percent. 2200sqft 3br, 2 bath, with half finished basement on a half acre, and deeded lake access point (Lake Norman) they wanted 120K, but I talked them down to 100K. Since it's out in the country ( about 15 minutes from the city), it qualified for USDA, which means no closing costs, 30 year FIXED RATE. I pay $650 a month for my mortgage...Only downside is that it was built in 1973, but there are so many houses out here like this, just sitting...
Works both ways Though. I'm hearing over and over from groups that consider themselves victims, having similar sentiment, but shocked when the other group behaves the same way.
Haidt wrote a book about this a few years ago and had a big Atlantic article. Victimhood is the new virtue. Everyone in this 'victim' economy is socially competing about who has the biggest/most legitimate grievances.
It's the en vogue version of social competition...
