I don’t think this kind of contrived fragility, or pressumption of weakness will last many more years.
They have become dangerously myopic and self centered.
This may be the end result of catering to two generations of Self Esteem gobbledygook.
The problem is compounded by helicopter parenting. They spend the first 18 years of their lives without having to deal with any crises then get bitch-slapped by reality.
Sometimes I wonder if America wouldn't be much improved after facing a complete, total loss of normal civil behavior, collapse.
I'd be all Mad Max, Road Warrior, Mohawk-sportin' and in S&M leather, riding a chopper.... teaching these fragile eggs what it would be like to be broken.
