\u2013 Gen Z
Seriously, from over-drawing lessons from the 60s \u2013 and specifically, the 90s’ reinterpretation of the 60s to flatter and intellectualize the Boomers fully coming into their own as heirs to the country, and the lessons learned under later periods built on that 90s understanding \u2013 there’s this widespread youth sense that “if I’m not getting my way, it’s because I haven’t been enough of a brat about it!”
But that understanding could only bear so much weight, the 2010s was a festival of putting too much on it, and now it’s fallen through. And the rest of society has realized it doesn’t need to placate those brats, or win an argument against them, just stop taking them seriously and let it wither on the vine. You already saw it with “defund the police”!
And reimplement the pre-60s \u2013 pre-90s, really \u2013 understanding of things, which is, “you act in a way acceptable to the rest of society, and in particular your seniors running the established order, or the hammer comes down”
