I think that’s a symptom too. The root cause seems to be the notion that children must be “protected from the truth” so they can lead a carefree youth. Then kids turn 18 and the mask drops and — at least for me — the number of WTFs is never ending. I’m 46yro and I still don’t understand why I was told so many lies… except of course I do understand: adults don’t want to explain their shittyness to a bunch of kids. Just imagine if our collective parents had to deal with a generational outcry demanding they stop fucking around, stop stealing from our future, stop lying, etc. Society as we know it would end, necessarily replaced by something more just. Can’t have that! The status quo it is then. FML; YMMV
