I'm just angry that boomers did everything to stamp out individuality in their young and created a bunch of people intent on eliminating it, allowing no exceptions to the rules. I mean why else would they be so intent on forcing medications on kids or pushing children into large groups, trying to make them perfectly behave? Now I'm stuck in this generation and there's nothing I can do about it but survive it until it's over.
No they did not. They FOUGHT for those folk who were considered different. Fought for their rights and for them to be heard. They FOUGHT for individualism in the name of freedom because when they were kids anyone who was different was shoved aside and treated like 2nd class citizens. I honestly do not know where you are getting this impression.
They did but they also created a generation who wants to bring back a time where different people are treated like second class citizens. The only difference is the types of differences they hate now. They fought for freedom and being themselves in the 60s and the 70s but they changed. I remember every other kid was prescribed ADHD meds if they were a bit hyper. The behavior standards for Millennials were so much higher than that for Boomers and they created a system where one mistake could ruin your life because of zero tolerance rules. The school system aimed to medicate every difference. Now there's a trend against that starting and I'm very glad it is.
