OK but do you not see that Boomers are being more influenced by TV and Millennials are being more influenced by social media?

If it is now hate speech to point out something this obvious, we have a problem. How are we even supposed to discuss the situation honestly if boomers cannot handle their generation being criticized in any way? Meanwhile look at how these same people, who cannot handle something as gentle as “You might have too much implicit trust for this technology”, then turn around and skewer Millennials as the laziest generation, the worst generation, the snowflake generation, the triggered generation. Certainly those generalizations are about as accurate as the boomer generalizations, and yet everyone laughs at the Millennial getting triggered and yelling, “Not all! Not all!”

Again, when we use generalizations, they are used with the understanding that EVERYONE knows there are exceptions to the rule. That is literally what a generalization is. A statement that is true in most cases, but not all.

Also, this exception mindset, where no generalized statement can ever be made, is also what gets us our current situation where pointing out that the deaths of black people in Chicago is due to inner city gang violence. People will get pissed off at that and say, “Oh, so what? You’re saying EVERY black person in Chicago is a GANG member now?!?” It’s an exhausting way to argue and all it does is keep everyone spinning with rage and confusion.
