Comment on "I was born in the wrong generation" has turned from edgy to a sad reality for some
Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 week agoGenX here, never in my life has a home been affordable and I am so fucking tired of the younger gens assuming we have it so easy.
I’ve strggled just like you for decades longer and the lack of empathy and recognition has made me hate all of you

Nobody has ever claimed that every gen x owned a home. There have always been people who can and people who cannot afford a home, but each generation has more people in the can’t-afford group than the previous. At 30, more genx owned a home than millennials, and more millennials than genz.
The problem you’re having is that everyone else is talking trends and you’re talking personal annecdote.

Wow, what the fuck. I have honestly no idea what about my username or post history could have made you so hostile. The last sentence you’re comparing about is literally a tldr of the rest of the comment; everyone’s talking trends between generations and you’re dismissing that (and complaining about entire subsequent generations) based entirely on one person’s individual experience.
