The irony being that the boomers who say the "builds character" shit had a vastly easier life compared to their parents and grandparents, who fought literal world wars. They think all societal change before them was good (including stuff like colonialism which they see as "civilizing" the savage natives) but any progress after them is the devil because it means they might have to change their behaviour or worldviews, hell, or even the idea that people they think are less than them getting less disadvantaged and oppressed than before which I guess make them jealous or something?

If "Life being worse builds character" then most billionaires don't have it built.

"Character" was always just "beaten down to the point where they don't talk back to their 'betters.'"
