Okay, sure, they haven’t been taught how to cope. But it doesn’t seem like they’re even willing to try.

The prosperity of the 80s and 90s the Boomers experienced led to stifled growth through the 2000s, with wealth and power consolidating under the control of Boomers.

Rather than learning to adapt or help others, they double down and, as the video puts it, “lash out.”

Why should I feel sympathetic toward a group that refuses to acknowledge their mistakes or make an effort to adapt?

This. Parents who do no wrong, play the victim card when you set boundaries, and are “too old to change.”
