Agreed, there's a stark difference between seeing someone getting decapitated on screen and then closing the tab instead of seeing this IRL and being scared of being the next one in line or realizing that the person standing next to you is just doing this.

This is referring to the "GenX" who watched this out of his own free will, which is also not comparable to what the people in this article have to deal with.

Vietnam was a bad war that shouldn’t have happened and anyone who went without being drafted is not worth respecting. The hippies were right.
