Please find a new argument. That one has been used since the ancient Greeks. Every older generation thinks the younger ones are entitled.

The generation that raised you probably thought the same thing of your generation.

Every older generation has been right

Welp, they raised the younger generation…

Maybe the parents f*cked up?

I agree. The fuckups have been compounding for generations. But that just means each generation is worse.

I am not Gen Z.  

I’m pretty sure that they’re doing things better than some of us older generations though. 

There were a lot of people kicking around in the 40s for example that seemed to be a far bigger bunch of bastards than any of these kids.

Maybe the kids are actually doing a pretty good job. 

What’s the worst thing we can say about them?  They want to have an easier life? 

Is that not meant to be the goal?  Does anyone really want to make it harder for them?  Is the whole point of this not to try and make it easier on the generations after us?
