That's pretty close to what I think. I'm 40, and the parents of many of my generation were terrible. So I dunno when it started, but it was going on 40 to 35 years ago. Some parents just never told their kid no. And somehow the snowflakes have survived. I really don't get how they haven't been shanked by an illegal immigrant in a Houston gay bar parking lot. Some have, no doubt. They neither understand the difference between right and wrong nor risky and safe, since their parents were always out front of their dumb decisions, too.

So, yes, "right and wrong" becomes "whatever you want." There is no moral challenge at home when you have no rules. They go off looking for meaning in the form of simping for groups that they perceive have real problems. All their compassion gets misguided from their own community to someone who doesn't give a fuck about them in Tibet.

Imagine little "Courtney" wants to dress like a slut, but the 9th grade won't let her. do you a) confine her to the house for 2 weeks for trying to go out like that b) tell her to put a sweater over it at school, but she can wear whatever she wants on dat street OR c) go complain to the school. We are dealing with the progeny of c) parents here.
