I am 53 years old. This generation of self entitled pricks who believe they know everything and have to educate us was created by ourselves, people now between their 50s and 65 years old.
We were raised by a generation that, in one way or another, suffered the effects of a World War, either directly because their countries were at war, or indirectly because they were missing some basic things, due to the war. Our parents born in difficult times and somehow they passed the anxiety they lived with to us. We were raised with that sort of mind set and fear that nothing or almost nothing is guaranteed. Always being reminded that the little we have is a lot compared to what they had in their childhood.
We didn't want the same for our children, we work hard to provide whatever they need and protected them from everything. We made them feel safe and we tried to take any problems away from them, so that they could focus on their own things and live their lives to the fullest. Enjoy their youth and prepare for their adult live.
Our kids, now between 20 and 30 years old, are telling us that we don't deserve our lives, we are destroying the planet, we have privileged life because of our skin colour we don't understand their feelings towards society and sexuality... and the list goes on.
We are racist, homophobic, sexist, fascists, dictators, whatever comes to their mind to make us feel bad with ourselves. They struggle if someone thinks differently or if they are challenged in their believes, they can't construct a logical speech and can't reason with anyone in an argument, all they do is to shoot some pre made sentences that they get from whatever group they identify with.
They don't have real struggles, all they have is too much time in their hands to worry about some nonsense, without any critical thinking, just eating from the spoon that their favourite 'religion' is feeding them with.
We created these monsters and I am responsible for my contribution to this generation of ungrateful little pricks because I created a protected environment for them, where they can grow and have time to do whatever pleases them, thinking they would put this time into good use. And what they do? They waste their lives, they don't study, don't develop themselves and believe their are entitled to whatever they demand because we raised them that way, we made them believe that they just need to worry about themselves... We did everything so that they only had to worry about themselves...
