Hero generation archetypes are bombastic.Sure...the parents of the Greatest Generation complained at how good their kids had it. 20 trillion in debt for social spending and welfare for lazy, weak, cocksuckers who cannot lift themselves up.Living in the SF-Berkely-Oakland triangle, I'm at Ground Zero for a great deal of SJW Millennial nonsense. The escalating violence is out of control. What has happened to Millennials to cause such irrational overreactions to nearly everything?
What happened: Progressive Parenting in which children were both neglected and overindulged. These kids never learned how to cope with reality. I really hope they never gain positions of power.
In 2014, a survey of 100,000 college students at 53 U.S. campuses by the American College Health Association found that 84% of U.S. students feel unable to cope, while more than half experience overwhelming anxiety.
Right. PJ Media. That's a reliable source.
Maybe these kids are anxious because they've seen how badly we old people have fucked it up for them? We've left them 20 Trillion in debt and failed to address climate change, which we probably won't live long enough to see the worst effect of, but they will.
The reality, though, is that every older generation complains about how the younger generation doesn't understand "real" hardship, (Sorry, I grew up a Baby-Boomer, and frankly, couldn't imagine what my World War/Great Depression parents had to deal with growing up.)
Given old White People "elected" (not really) Trump, maybe we are the ones who can't be trusted with the important decisions.
