      The “generation” thing really kicked in for them. It wasn’t really a thing until the turn of the century. We all use to age together through “decades” once we were adults. Sure, you had different childhood TV shows and related to others more your age. But, really, it was not this insane divide among adults.

      It expanded heavily as the ruling class needed a further divide to explain why the youngest workers were no longer able to build a life for themselves.

      A lot of millennials fell for this. But by the time Gen Z hit college it was in full force. When they went to look for jobs it was even worse than millennials had it. Further empowering the alienation they felt from their elders within the working class.

      It’s why you get the “waiting for the boomers to die” people. They’ll wait the entire span of their labor years. And grow up and become the new out of touch and tired people looking to work within the political system to maintain what little they built.
