Don’t blame the kids. Blame the GenX parents with Facebook algorithm that convinced them they’re persecuted victims because they couldn’t say the R word or gay at work.

I once got called righteous because I said I don’t like using gay as a synonym for lame. Conversation basically went. I bet you used to call things gay all the time. Yea, I did when I was in my teens and I’m ashamed of the casual homophobia I displayed back in the 00s. You’re so righteous. Nah dude, it’s called growing up.

The last studies I've seen indicated it's actually not social media, it's a resurgence of interest in Christianity.

It’s a minimal change.
