being a stupid ignorant asshole has nothing to do with age or generations.

i know tons of 20/30 somethings who think just like boomers. who are in the same total denial of reality and living in their little bubble world. they think facts, evidence, etc, is a conspiracy or it's just straight up evil because it makes them feel bad.

and they want to feel good and think anyone who makes them feel bad should just die.

    Yes. But where is the most common? I think that's the point. That they are usually of the boomer variety.

    in my experience it's everyone. very few people care about facts or evidence. most lemmy posters do not.

    i went to college 20 years ago and a huge chunk of my peers were completely immune to facts and evidence back then.

    it's not an age thing, it's a basic operating feature of human psychology, no matter your age.

    people who able to change their views based on new information are exceedingly rare. most folks just follow the 'party line' because that's what gains them social acceptance/popularity, and going against it gets you socially ostracized.
