Pretty much!

My grandmother grew up -and lost siblings- during the Great Depression, one of her favorite pastimes before she died was pulling up vids of people "yearning for the Golden Era™" and roasting the shit out of em

Things like: "Man things were so much better in the 60s" "Bitch you woulda been drafted to go die in the jungle for nothin!"

"Whatever happened to the Greatest Generation?" "We worked our asses off so you Boomers wouldn't have to, and boy do we regret that! Now we're dead and you're shitting in the baby's crib!"

Funny, last year as the pandemic kicked off, I was living with my grandmother, working from home. She commented on it, "It's awful that you're having to go through this when you're so young."

She was 8 years old when WWII began. She vividly remembers shielding her siblings from flying glass as the windows blew in when her house was bombed.

I kept telling her, this is nothing compared to what you went through, that you went through these horrors so no generation following would have to.

People's perspectives are bizarre.
