I haven't either. Like most ideas from the left... those that repeat them rarely have much logic or depth on the subject. I have thought for many years that most of these things like this are just convenient excuses to avoid looking at yourself in the mirror. I get it. I am not all that I can be or all that I want to be. But blaming others (even when valid) isn't a solution.
One of my favorite things Jordan Peterson says is that all of us have been wronged. Some more heavily than others. What matters is how we respond. If we just sit in our sorrow and focus on things outside of our control we will never grow. We have to fight against staying victims of our circumstances. Living as a victim is no way to live and it feels like we have at least one generation of people that internalized this and have quit before they even tried.
I know this is not everyone in the younger generations because I know plenty that reject this mentality. I think many are sick of living in sorrow and pity. Its no way to live. We actually live in an amazing time and I try to express that to my sons even though there is a lot to complain about and improve. Who is gonna do it? If not us, who?
