  Showing people who degenerate culture why that is is empathy. On a related note my generation confuses kindness with empathy way, way too often, it's a terrible millennial habit. Anyone familiar with boomer memes knows being flippant towards having to care a bit more is a huge part of it. It's easy to understand. They grew up with a booming economy, peace, less value towards preservation and externalities, greed is good, and an America-centric worldview… Millennials had multiple wars, two large recessions, two rounds of QE, and a small fraction of equivalent prosperity at the same age. They got all the benefits of the boom and none of the downsides while the younger generations are paying. When you see a kid who was raised totally spoiled complaining “I don’t want to throw away my trash, the bins all the way over there” when you're working as a garbage-man you roll your eyes and say.... It's literally a perfect example of it.
