    “didn’t seem to scar any other countries nearby for two generations”

    Because the doom bringing missiles weren’t pointed at them.

    I will naturally be less traumatized witnessing a hostage situation than the actual person who has a gun pointed at their head will be, that does not negate their being traumatized.

    Also, small ruling elite, there’s over 70 million of them at present. You keep trying to ignore the whole “generational experience” part of what I’m describing.

      You make too many tenuous subjective assumptions to address directly with too many tractable goal posts to avoid.

      I specifically addressed your “generational experience” concern.

      "I do agree that anybody of an older generation probably has more mental hangups than the younger generation and I think the younger generation is breaking that cycle by going to therapy while the older generation refuses to acknowledge or take responsibility for their mental health even though they have the capacity and resources to.

      Empathy is helpful to a point, but you have to recognize that point."
