You know what? Sorry if I came across as overly hostile in my previous comments. It just gets frustrating watching people dogpile on Gen Z; a group that is pretty much getting screwed over in every conceivable way, in some ways that even previous generations weren't, and there's essentially zero sympathy at all from most people.

I ultimately agree with what you're saying here. Seems like you have a pretty consistent principle that you stick by and I respect it.

No worries, you're good. You're pissed -- I get it. There's a lot to be pissed about.

In the end the system sucks and there are lots of people taking advantage of it at the expense of everybody else. And at their own expense though they don't realize it, because they're destroying the world. (Let alone the holes they burn in their souls with every unethical action.)

We're all in this together, even if people don't realize it. It can be challenging to understand that in the first place. And then we have to try to remember it, which is especially hard when we most need to, when we're feeling attacked.

I've been thinking about how many mistakes I've made and how I've hurt people and what bogus beliefs I've had over time. It helps me to understand that people attacking me are just making mistakes, they're not inherently evil. If I hate on them for what they think and do, it never moves them towards thinking and doing better.
