Why do older generations hate everything about new generation?
They just complain all time and they just hate to just hate... Like they have no good reason to hate the things they hate

Bruh....

Because the new generation tires to be everything the old generation was not and instead of respecting all the hard work they accomplished they call them the r word and the h word.

probably because there's massive gaps between older generations and younger generations
the world they grew up in is vastly different from ours, we've advanced a lot, a lot for things that seemed to work back then are much harder now, a lot of things done back then have been discovered to be harmful, a lot of assumptions that used to be done are being challenged if not outright ditched in favor of more informed truths, and there are lots of things that were deemed bad back then that we now realize have nothing actually wrong about them

It's true, but polish is just polish. There are a lot of older games that are still great.

Virtually no natural selection anymore, at least in the first world. So each new generation is dumber, less able to survive hard times, and earns scorn from previous generations.

Although we may have reached the limits of this process.

Yeah, I'm a 90's person and I already feel a bit spoiled. Like I don't get enough abuse in life. Like what's the point even? Makes me slightly jealous of some people.

Natural selection still applies these days... That theory still has not been proven wrong yet

Just wait until we do that in 30 years.

the reduction of natural selection has been a thing for a very long while now, centuries even
we're simply more capable of seeing issues that you refuse to acknowledge

there are many problems that were there a few generations ago that are no longer here, and this allows us to see problems that were there but we didn't notice; just because you call that "being less able to survive harder times" doesn't mean that's the case

they mean it in the sense that, society makes survival for humanity much easier than if we were wild animals

Boomer/Zoomer memes definitely added a bit.

Well in some sense natural selection has been declining since humans started using tools.
However, consider this graph of life expectancy. The average lifespan didn't go much above 40, until the beginning of the 20th century. And then doubled in only one century.

It's pretty clear to me that selection has greatly declined, "everybody lives to breed".

Also, what issues am I refusing to acknowledge?

Imagine if you had this awesome thing and that awesome thing gave birth to a semi-cool thing. Then this semi-cool thing gave birth to a simple thing. Now, this simple thing is trying to tell the awesome thing that simple is awesome. The simple thing also tells other things that simple is awesome and that you should be more interested and excited about this simple thing; which isn't possible after awesome. Life is filled with lies, so it's easy to hate things all the time.

edit: I forgot to add, "Hope you like my sick post bruh..."

i'm not really sure how life expectancy going up shows that natural selection has so little of an effect on humanity that "younger generations are dumber", especially since most people before this doubling of life expectancy had kids younger, and often more kids than we usually try to have nowadays
and if you weren't trying to say that life expectancy going up showed that natural selection has so little of an effect on humanity that "younger generations are dumber", then bringing up that statistic was pointless


as for issues, people from older generations tend to ignore and dismiss a lot of issues regarding mental health, social stigmas (which you individually may have upheld depending on what you meant by your "we may have reached the limits of this process" comment), the effects of centuries of social stigmas, the effects of centuries of racially targeted slavery followed by little to no attempt to undo them if not straight up continued segregation, the issues of the capitalist system, the fact that the things that worked in their times may not work in ours, religious extremism (of the religion they're part of whichever that may be), religious institutions and their problems, the way religion has been used as an unhealthy coping mechanism in face of many existential issues and how the baselessness of religion ultimately dooms it unless you're that committed to suspension of disbelief, leaving us with a bleak future we will at best struggle to improve and at worst continue to worsen...
just to name a few

the "you" wasn't referring to you as an individual, but more to say "older generations"; i had assumed you were part of them

Because they are likely to recognise the consequences faster than the (inexperienced) youth. Not to say that older gentlemen are always right, but that they have more life experience.
