    With a general understanding of American history. Do you disagree?

      it’s not really about what i think, but it’s an enormous claim to make, based only on your general understanding of American history.

      I wonder if you dont find it a bit dismissive, and disrepectful of the challenges faced by those born into the great depression ? or into world war ii ? or those conscripted and sent to die in Vietnam ?

      Surely, anyone coming of age in those times, would be entitled to think “boy, the adults have really fucked shit up for us ?”

        I’m not saying that gen Z has it the worst in all of American history. I’m saying that things peaked for boomers and progressively gets worse in either direction in time.

        Every generation of Americans has had a war to fight because of the decisions of previous generations, that’s a constant in American history. After WWII was Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan and I’m sure more to come.
