      I’m 43. Statistically the people that are whining are themselves extremely privileged who on average came of age after Vietnam. They don’t get to use other people’s suffering as a fuckin excuse.

          So you look at people today demanding more and say “this has got to stop” and launch into some malarkey about how the worst generation actually honest had a real hard time and you believe other people are petulant. Alrighty then.

            You have extremely limited empathy for boomers because they were the authority figures growing up. You still treat them like a teenager would treat their parents, as opposed to how an adult would approach the situation.

            This tweet is alluding to some golden era of America that never really existed in the way that the Internet implies

              Why would I have empathy for boomers? This is essentially a generational conflict. You don’t win by having empathy.
