Generational snobbery

[Tobin S.]

I see it a lot on DU.

Great successes and failures occur in every generation. Each generation builds on the achievements of the last and also tries to mitigate their failures. That's progress...that's evolution, and it's happening right now.

1. I've got to agree...

I see a lot of Millennial generation bullying in GD.

It was very prevelant during the height of the Occupy Movement.

There was an OP yesterday that berated the Millenials that I wrote out a reply to two or three times and deleted. I never submitted it because I knew that it would have created a pile on that would have accomplished nothing.

+1 OP.

2. There have been a lot of "blame the Boomers" threads too, over the years!

I don't take it personally. LOL

4. I'm sure people from every generation have been guilty of it

"I just don't understand this new generation," and "Move it, grandpa" predicate many comments on how things were so much better then/now and how older or younger people don't seem to make much sense or are in some other way undesirable- "We're better" in other words.

5. I don't see it or maybe just don't pay attention to it. Maybe we just visit different groups? n/t
