it’s not really about what i think, but it’s an enormous claim to make, based only on your general understand 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 ?”
