Okay, it's not about that, but it is about why generational antagonism is stupid

Online I see this sort of rage bait all the time. In the real world everyone I talk to thinks there’s arseholes and good people in every age group. Stop feeding the media’s narratives. It’s what made reddit shit and it will ruin Lemmy too if we let it. Downvote it, move on. Too many bots and social media entities use it drive traffic and influence the online conversation that eventually ends up influencing the real world.

Literally how is this image rage bait? It's saying that even if previously generations were shitty to you, don't be shitty to the next one.

It assumes multiple entire generations of people were shitty and verbally abusive to their children on the basis of nothing more than being from a different generation.
