A warning: those headaches are about to get a whole lot worse : Comments

By Alice Gallen, published 8/3/2018

A new generation hooked on technology has given up on democracy and shut the door to civil discussion, instead choosing hate, defensiveness and extreme solutions.

Cherful,

It seems that 'guilt' is peculiar to Westerners. I was reading something the other day along the lines that we go out of our way to feel bad about things our ancestors did even though we have done nothing. We even exaggerate. If we were in a court of law we would be deemed unfit to plea because of the eagerness to plead guilty to crimes we haven't committed.

Many young people have always been attracted to extreme politics. There is nothing new about this generation. Each of these groups have their own conformity. Members of the group are typically blind to their groupthink, but others can identify the pressure to conform.

Ms Gallen is doing nothing new.

You hit the nail on the head.
The Western world seems hell bent on self flagellation.

I think this is because our universities teach through the prism of political correctness.
Anything that doesnt fit this ideology is simply not taught even if it means ignoring
facts.
