Millennials aren't the weak generation. They're the first generation who started to wake up. The boomers were born in the middle of the good times and were completely blind to what was happening around them. Most of them still are willfully blind to the situation.
Millennials were in many ways the last inheritors of the "good times," at least at first, although most of us will never have it as good as the Gen Xers or the Boomers. We were also the last generation that grew up being inundated by the polite, structured, dogmatic liberal information pulpit that was the institutional media and education system, with no easy access to alternative sources of information.
But we were also the ones who blew the doors off of that cathedral. No one who was exposed to the chat rooms and message boards of the early internet before it was sanitized can unironically believe that the entirety of the Millennial generation was ever the weak, thin-skinned woke zombies we are so often portrayed as being.
Our childhoods and teens could be considered the end of the good times. That's why Zoomers and Alphas are getting so pissed off looking back. They didn't even get that.
Exactly.
