"in other words, everyone younger than you doesnt understand the world like you do, right?"

No. People in their 40s and 50s grew up being taught that it was right to challenge the established view, to speak up and defend those that had no voice.

It's distressing to see the attempts now to silence anybody that doesn't conform to the groupthink du jour, and it's entirely appropriate and correct to refuse to quietly accept this.
