This is a smidge better because it’s data but I feel like it’s either bots or inattentive responders because wtf

Yes, but it's still moral panic garbage.

It's a "there's a problem with our economy, the data shows it's rich b*stards fault, we are the rich b*stards, so let's blame young people for existing with the awareness of the horrendous unfairness, instead of dealing with any of it" problem, painfully heavy taxation of the wealthy will help

This one is almost 20 years old, described people who are now age 40-50, and is essentially identical to what you read now about Gen Z, but with more relevant pop culture references

It’s so, so, so, so dumb. Like a cliche of getting older is you hate young people and then every damn generation goes “maybe WE are right about it”

As Gen X, I think the only appropriate response is “I don’t care.” 😂

Yikes, funny how the nonsense jumps out even more strongly when one (me) is at the age in question. So much of this seems to come down to "young people bother me" and/or "I worry about my kids." I get the latter but the former always baffles me.

I was out walking after dark once and came across a group of teenagers. I was hesitant to pass them because I was worried about what they were up to (you know you're old when...). Uno. They were playing Uno.

It's a gateway to poker don't you know 😂

Young people always do the best they can given the current mess. Oh, maybe that's the answer: "young people bother me because if I take their troubles seriously they make me think of the mess I've helped create and I don't wanna."

Ding ding ding

It’s almost as if it’s possible to conflate cohort effects and age effects.
