    I don’t think so. Generations that actually struggle end up being good to the next generation. IE the greatest generation

    It’s the entitled cunts that got everything handed to them that turn into massive assholes. IE Boomers

      Nice theory, but as the parent of a teenager, younger generations don’t tend to think highly of their elders no matter what. It’s kind of human nature. I predict that Millennials and Gen Z will absolutely be disliked by the generations afterwards, just as Boomers and Gen X are disliked by Millennials and Gen Z. For that matter, love Gen Z all you want, Millennials, just don’t expect it to return the favor. Every generation thinks it’s better than the ones that came before. Ever heard of hippies? Yeah, they were gonna save the world from everyone over 30. Now we just call them Boomers.

        I’m not talking about teenagers. You can’t judge generations based on your experience with your kid.

        I’m talking the overall trend of the population en masse. Those that know the struggle are more empathetic than those who never struggle.

          I judge it by the fact that young people tend to blame their elders for the problems in the world. The only way to really know what will happen is to wait and see I suppose!
