In talking to one of them, it boils down to "rich, white, men had it better than me" but that's no different today.
These people walk around with $1000 computers in their pockets. Just about all media is free or damn close to it. LGBTQ has never had it so good. Despite there being a looonngggg way to go still, minorities have never had it so good. Are you a creative type? Getting your shit seen/heard has never been so easy. Actually creating your shit has never been so easy.
Do these people watch Leave it to Beaver and think that's how it was for everyone?
There's no doubt the wealth gap has widened, but according to my research there are more wealthy minorities than ever before, and far more younger people getting richer, quicker. Fucking Kylie Jenner is almost a billionaire.
I really don't get the whining.
