I had this yesterday on Facebook. A guy I know posted quite an alarming video of an Australian news presenter having a right old rant at young people, basically saying everything they do is wrong. I told him I thought the presenter was being a tosser, yet this friend was adamant that the presenter was totally valid.
I feel sorry for young people. Whenever exam results are released, success is due to exams being easier, lack of success is because kids don't work as hard/less intelligent. The views and opinions of children are regularly put down by some older people, men in particular. I also think that some older men think they are wiser because they are older - I don't agree with this.
I often see memes shared on social media from older people criticising youngsters for what they do nowadays. Kids are different from kids two generations ago, not better or worse. Young people now will have a harder time in terms bof work and buying housing than they have for generations. Who has inflicted this on them? Their grandparents (mainly).
In my humble opinion, anyone that’s old enough to work and pay tax should have the right to vote.
So in the UK, that would include 16 yr olds and upward.
A lot of posters on this MB seem to hunt in packs.
The latest group to get attacked appear to be the older generation. Especially after the brexit vote.
The majority of older folk do listen to the younger generation. We are all at different stages in life, and opinions and outlooks will differ accordingly.
I do feel we are turning into a “want to blame somebody” society.
I’m not just talking about climate change. I’m talking about all walks of life in general.
Going back to climate change though, the majority of the human race are not helping things, but we do tend to go along with progress and accept things that are not for the better and just accept it, till the shit hits the fan.
Then when we get a sharp reminder of how things are spiralling out of control, we all seem to turn on each other, blaming certain groups, generations etc.
The human race has millions of individuals whose kindness, generosity and good moral compass knows no bounds. Unfortunately, there are also plenty whose wickedness, greed, and pure evil tendencies also know no bounds.
If we do have a creator, then there is plenty of room for improvement next time. If there is a next time.
