BLUNT + LOUD & CLEAR: I am not posting these off-Reddit for mockery entertainment + insults of Reddit or myself. I am documenting a pattern of USA media influence I have seen on Reddit.

They always love their grandkids but never their kids 🥀

Here in USA, where I was born and raised, I find since the 1990's that grandparents absolutely despise their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They act all nice in person, but when it comes to climate change, housing prices, they do everything they possibly can to wreck the future of future generations of their family. I've seen this in many places I have lived in USA: Ohio, Indiana, Floridian, Texas, Arizona.

I moved into an RV full time in 1999 (working from home), I was only age 30, and I spent a lot of time around these retired grandparents who go on and on about how much they love their grandchildren. But my god, do they wish Hell on earth with their attitudes towards polluting the water and "drill baby drill" for oil, spreading plastics, food safety and baby food supply, politicians and leaders they want these grandchildren to live under, pro-Russian takeover of the world, etc.

Don't fall for their whole "I have compassion and love for my children's children" lines, a lot of them have have anti-compassion anti-empathy values of Elon Musk,

That's one of the things so enchanting around Buddhist and Taoist teachings, "There is no 'I." People attached to their false egos can't begin to fathom this and will write volumes explaining how the "I" is the only thing that matters.
