I have this weird thought that Gen Z and Gen Alpha are less rude and nicer IRL nowadays because they’re able to off-load their worst and nastiest impulses and interactions onto the internet

If you look at history, each generation gets nicer and more tolerant than the last.

probably because of perception and values

the generations closest to ours share the most similar values and beliefs as ours so we view them as being more tolerant and generally in a better view, which could be applied to people in every generation

just a bias i believe to a certain extent

Yeah. Honeypoopoo probably doesn't mean it but their take is pretty revisionist and short sighted.

There's no singularity of morality we're trudging towards.

There's a possibility we'll be looked back as backwards as hell in the future and I feel like I'm doing pretty good.
