The Struggle

There is a point at which we have not struggled enough to understand and empathise with our elders, sure, but almost 100% of the time, its the reverse that's happened;
They have not seen enough of our struggles and lack the capactity to understand or empathize with them as struggles at all. Their struggles, and later comfort, let's be honest, have numbed them and fitted blinders to their judgement.

I think this is because FOX hadn't fully got its hooks into setting boomers against their kids for being "soft" and "ruining America" yet.
Once those hooks are in, suddenly the latter panel applies.
They don't see the contradiction because they think their eyes have been opened to the truth.
- Yes, this is absolutely the outcome of propaganda. Blame it on the young, blame it on the foreigners. Blame it on the women, blame it on the queer. It's all anybody's fault except for the white rich assholes in charge.

I love how in the bonus panel each generation up gets progressively more stress sweat and wrinkles
