The progression of generations.

This generation should be called the "Trump fucked me in the ass" generation, because after 4 years of Trump, that's all they are going to get, a good old ass thumping.
That is unless you are a rich person or a corporation, they can call themselves the "I'm luving it generation".

First it was baby boomers ( cool name) then Gen X (cool name). And now we have Gen Snowflake. As uncool as the name implies.

Man, I so much sympathize with you on this. Old people have so much to look down upon on the young of today.

Just yesterday, I heard from another poster on this site who bungled a well-intentioned but clumsy attempt to help a woman who was struggling with MS and on crutches. The woman on crutches was afraid of falling and spoke out harshly, caught herself and explained that that the the attempt to help made her feel unsafe. The poster who had "only been trying to help" cried and later called the woman on crutches a cunt.

Of course, everybody in the story is over 50.

I mean, kids these days. Back in your day, they would have just fought it out, right?

There were just as many pussies in the world in 1918. Circumstances were just different. I don't understand why people think it's cool to hate on trying to look out for people who have a tough time with it. We all do. If you're fortunate enough to be tough enough to roll with the punches of life without needing anyone or anything like this, good for you.

But from my experience in life, the few who are how I just described, are almost overly sympathetic towards those who struggle with life.

Whenever I hear this "safe space snowflake" talk in person, it's usually from people who have needed a hug the most since they were children and haven't gotten it. It's like trying to prey on their own kind, in a sense.

People who lived through the thirties knew a thing or two about helping those with less than they had. Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" programs which today are manifested in SNAP and other forms of public assistance were strongly supported by men and women who grew up in the thirties. There is nothing like having gone through personal hardship to build empathy for those who are dealing with it today.

All that "snowflake" bs came from the radical right. They use it to cast their opposition, especially Black Lives Matter and feminist activists as crybabies instead of people who are bravely standing up against the establishment to demand equal rights.

Op is such a snowflake that he gets triggered by equal rights for non whites and gay people

You're not one of those people who think gay people being granted permission to marry somehow equates to an "equal right" are you?

Wouldn't that be an instance of equal oppression of gay people, since now they have to ask government for permission to be married too? (rhetorical question)
