Dude, these fucks are in their 40's, they aren't kids. These people were just raised different, they are part of my generation. Poor parenting is not generation specific. What a stupid fucking take. You take anyone from any generation and tell them they are special and the rules don't apply to them and you have raised a fucked up individual. We see dads in fist fights over Little League games, people take shit way too seriously. America's main problem is that no one can no longer let anything "slide", no one in America is willing to take the "high road". When you have no one willing to apologize, because it's always the other person's fault, this is exactly what we get.
We have always had busybodies, we have always had Karens, but not near the extent that we have now. We have always had road rage, but not to the extent now. We have always had Charles Whitmans, but not to the extent we have now.
Have you never seen a 1950's Western where the richest rancher in the area had a bad kid that always did bad shit, and his father would always cover for him and the rules didn't apply to him?
The problem is most people now are that rich rancher. The premise was always that the entitled prick kid was the way he was because of his upbringing. Sometimes the kid was humbled and set straight and apologized for his actions, but most of the time he was hanged for shooting someone, or was shot himself. The same thing is going to happen in America today, those kids get a wake up call, or it ends badly, and it usually ends badly. Total disregard for human life because they weren't taught to handle their shit.
Are there still great parents, absolutely. But if this trend moves the needle .000001% the wrong direction, how many more potential mass shootings is that. Especially with discipline being taken out of our school system, for some, that was the only place with rules and consequences that they were not getting at home.
