> the kids finally understand who to blame
You do realise that “sticking it to the man” is something that kids are uniquely good at?
This isn’t something that’s only just happened in the last generation. It’s how society has operated since before we lived in caves.
The increased younger vote for Trump is a big part of our current set of problems.
Remember: Google was declared a monopoly by Bidens Justice department. We were setting up a system to break down monopolies and restore order to the market. Trump got rid of that.
The last batch of kids was blaming their job woes on mexicans, women, and authority figures delivering mild punishments for shouting trans slurs. This batch seems more upset with the billionaires or at least AI. That's a big improvement.
There is more than one kind of kid at a time.
And "graduated college" is a well document splitting variable for the clusters you mentioend.
Mmmhmm, and tech workers tended to blame Indians instead of Mexcans, women were less keen on blaming women, the woke percent never went anywhere near 0, and Captain Obvious is a full time job. Observations about the general sentiment of a crowd do not in any way imply uniformity, and it's frankly a bit silly to pretend that they do and then get upset about it.
