Hm so perhaps that phrase is actually a separate issue, but it is still interesting because it still involves treating the younger generation differently. Because in the context I was talking about this "they have it so easy" complaint is usually presented as a bad thing that the younger generation has it "easy". It suggests that despite each preceding generation having progressively "easier" lives, it is wrong that this current generation should also enjoy an easier life than the last.

For the older generations, they do see it as a bad thing that society didn't make them whole on past transgressions. Taking the concept of "generational trauma" seriously is only a thing of the last 20-30 years.
