[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1181867, member: 73592"] Sorry, I'll bring mine across here: There's definitely an epidemic of self-entitlement, throughout society for the last... 10-15 years or so, I'd guess (probably longer, but really dialled up to 11 with things like Brexit, BoJo and Trump - and AntiFa, BLM and Extinction Rebellion). Society seems to have lose the ability to agree-to-disagree, which I see as part of the same thing. I blame the combination of social media and smartphones*. The ability to broadcast our opinions 24 hours a day, see curated responses which maximise the dopamine hit, actively encourage confrontation and providing encouragement and support for every little 0.1% opinion that would never have been dared to be aired in a public setting. * Initially that was intended as more of a joke with a grain of truth - but the more I think on it, the more genuine it seems.
