I think what the parent means is that traditionally society is run with all age groups considered important.
A strong focus on the future with the aged proud of the sacrifices they make for the young.
Elders now are concerned with maximum, selfish value extraction and consumption.
They seem to detest and resent the youth and have done whatever possible to structure society in their favor with little regard for what will happen when they are gone.
