But I suppose it's more likely that they've just always been like that and what's actually happening is that their handlers suddenly lose containment. We have a 5-13. I repeat, we have a 5-13!

Logan D.

DShomshak Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Getting more into cultural context and commentary, the latest On the Media examines the politics of nostalgia. MAGA and various authoritarians mentioned, of course, as they use myths of "the good old days" and threats to those supposed ancient virtues to inflame the gullible. Funniest part, though, comes at the end in which a journalist describes his search down the annals of history to show that the lamentations of the present -- from the incipient collapse of democracy to political correctness killing comedy -- are just the latest chorus of very old refrains.

Every generation looks at the world a little differently from their parents. With today's constantly mutating technology, those differences are accelerating exponentially. While with the passage of time the parents' perspective also changes, but they often forget that they used to think and feel differently when they were their children's age.

Starlord Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 The previous generation also seems to always forget that they were responsible for raising the generation they're complaining about....

unclevlad Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 From NYT: Quote The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol accused former President Donald J. Trump on Monday of inciting insurrection, conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstruction of an act of Congress and one more federal crime as it referred him to the Justice Department for potential prosecution.
