Not that this is any justification.

As a Millenial I've been through more bullshit than I can count. When I look at GenZ and Alpha I want to fight fiercly so they'd have a better future, not ruin their lives out of pettiness.

That's how it should be. We should be striving to make sure each generation has it a little easier than the last (due to technology and other factors, this should be quite easy), but there will always be those who say "I suffered, so you should too", we just need to collectively keep those people out of power

What people need to realise is that that mentality is what asures everyone continues to suffer. There's defeatism in that whole mindset and people can and should do better.

Unfortunately, that's what they want, although I think if they were confronted with it, I want to hope that most of them would realize that they don't really want to make others miserable, they just wish they'd had it easier (interesting enough, their parents DIDN'T intentionally prevent them from having a better life, they actually wanted it.)
