Pretty much all those Karen compilations are Gen X-aged people, who should fucking know better but clearly don't. Millennials are on watch too, but we don't have enough wealth to be as shitty. Zoomers are going to save us all.

    Nah it's the opposite of this, genX is broadly nihilistic, which is why gen Z tends to adopt some of those traits.

    They think everything is bad, their eating up of orange man bad is exclusively because he is the current president.

      This is much more accurate to my experience. My parents are Gen X Republicans and they aren't actively hateful, they just have very unhappy lives and no driving philosophy or goals. They mentally and spiritually died in their twenties once I was born and they had fulfilled the obligation to create their nuclear family.

        Yeah I think going people have a desire to live a more fulfilling and wholistic life and that is a contributing factor to some of the current left wing shift even among people who come from decently well off families.

      insanely relevant point that I'd never thought of before. Blew my mind
