What disasters affected only younger generations? Still confused
Younger generations have had less time, resources, etc. to react to these disasters and we're constantly told "you have it easier" or "just tough through it" by people over 40 who have the privilege to not see it as the end of the world all the time.
It really just boils down to ageism and classism being used against younger generations to keep us quiet, and this kind of question reads as dismissive.
Edit: you're not wrong that other age groups are suffering, but I think a better response is hey, me too instead of what, you think this objectively false thing is true? (I'm being dramatic for effect, not to make you look silly)
