The main example of how the mass thinking nowadays is UScentric and unfiltered from context is the age discourse. The whole boomer thing.
#when i was younger i was so angry with boomers but recognising them as parents screwing up their kids mostly so i was biased#after years i realised that people talked less about generational behaviour and more about privilege and status and systematic(word that#screams American)power and there is the failure. most post war countries experienced an economic boom but#besides the us the great majority of boomers grew up in poverty and neglect and had to fight for basic rights#then things became a little easier for them especially in the 80s and 90s when they were already 30/40. I'm not taking away their faults#they're the 68 gen the sex liberation the drugs the fashion and now the majority is hella conservative(zoomers future except the efforts)#but they never were given stuff on silver platters nor were rich and privileged for the most part and even in rich countries#this make people forget about how gen x are entitled and in power now and ruined many things with no consequences. karens are genX bc they#know how to cater to younger people and turn them against the elders while using rainbow slogans for their major companies#then there's the whole young people are innocent/age gaps in love are bad/my grandma had 2 houses at 20 she robbed me#my grandma had to almost die to buy the house I live in now that she left me or else I'd be homeless and age discourse is generalised ik#but still very not focused on what is really the fault and instead on envy and minor context.
