I've been doing German on Duolingo for over a year and I can get about 20% of the content they post, so I'm pretty happy to have an actual use for the work I put in.
Yet, you are so far from figuring out what is wrong with yourself or how you interact with others. For instance, I'm am about as left leaning as one can possibly be. Yet somehow you pegged me as right wing nut job. You convinced yourself that only you are right and therefore everyone is wrong and dumbfucks.
Speaking in absolutes not only makes you a sith, it makes you ignorant too.
It is important to understand why people are the way they are in order to prevent future repeats. In the case of Boomers, I don't blame them 100% nor am I going to just chalk it up to just random chance.
If you look at the generation as a whole, the predominant qualities they have are entitlement, arrogance, narrow mindedness, and a deep lack of empathy. Those attributes are what lead them to do the things that they did with the benefits that the luck of their circumstances gave them. But where did those attributes come from? I believe again you have to blame the parents.
I believe that the root of the problems come from the Boomers' parents. After the war, they were so happy to be alive and living in relative peace, that the popped out a bunch of kids and then showered them with all the benefits that the post-war prosperity brought while also not really paying that much attention to them (who has time to work and be fully involved in the lives of 5 kids?). What did that lead to? A generation that was spoiled and had no boundaries set, so they grew up to do a bunch of drugs, have a bunch of sex, and generally think that every thing is owed to them and everyone else is wrong because they are the best.
Except that's not really the full truth either. The generation got lucky AND systemically burned every thing down so that they were the only ones left with all the benefits that luck provided.
Counties not countries. So different places in the same state.
If you are not familiar with how us states are governed, states subdivide into areas called counties (except for Louisiana which calls them parishes). The county is usually the level of government that tracks court records like marriage licenses.
I get it, but look at it this way, most of those shows do not show the rich and powerful in a flattering light E.g. Succession. So you could interpret it as Hollywood trying to shatter the glitz and glamor persona that the rich have always enjoyed.
I constantly refer to my parents and in-laws as children. Why? Because they behave exactly like my 11 year old. They have no critical reasoning skills, no emotional intelligence, are easily offended, and can not be reliability left on their own without screwing something up.
At some point around retirement age, humans seem to cognitively revert back to children and those of us in middle adulthood are left to parent our actual children and our childish parents.
I get that the book title adds another layer of humor, but it could literally be any book. Those morons don't know how to read and wouldn't crack open a book even with their cheeto overlord on the cover.
Perhaps partly, my personal belief is the is traces back to early tribal days. I believe the first cultural leaders likely struggled with retaining control and authority at a certain point. After all, there is only so much you can threaten people with to keep them in like. The worse of which is death. A sufficiently motivated person may not care about their physical well-being if they want to achieve a important enough goal. Create an invisible "soul" and a space wizard that determines if that soul gets bliss or torture after death and it adds a new level of control.
I truly hope no one thinks that the current administration gives a shit one way or the other about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. The revoking of visas for Palestinian protests is just the excuse for getting rid of more brown people in a seemingly "legitimate" way.
