A lot of this generation has been totally sheltered from any real adversity and been given so much that they did nothing to earn. I'm thinking of children who receive $500 smart phones for a Christmas presents or the ones receiving a $1000 PS5.

When you constantly receive everything from praise, to expensive gifts, to affirmation for everything you will begin to have a warped sense of reality. What should be a special time becomes a regular experience. The answer then becomes drugs to get a feeling beyond being average.

I think a lot of people grew up like this and now represent a sizable chunk of the population. Toss in social media and fucking celebrities which amplifies this lifestyle and it seams like everyone thinks and acts like this.

Anyway, just my opinion and rant....

Not to mention alt news does this too. Was alt news always that way? I remember a time people hated the MSM press and flocked to alternate news sites but they all seem to do this celebrity shit just on the other side of the coin.
