What is up with the "Haha younger people are suffering" jokes they make? It's pretty fucked up.
These are your children, their suffering is your failure.
It's like the "every man for himself" attitude is so pervasive that people are even alienated from their own legacy.
It makes me appreciate our commie boomers, for sure.
I think the neolib turn with Thatcher/Reagan really did kill any remnants of empathy or compassion that might have still existed in them. Growing up in the midst of extreme cold war propaganda started this process. Anyone that expresses any leftish ideas must be considered hypersus in their view.
They really believe 'the suffering/cruelty is the point' because it 'builds character' or whatever. They think they are making the world better through their malice.
Boomers are the vorscha from mass effect.
Westerners are the Batarians
I love mass effect but I hate how every alien civ is extremely chuddy…
