My preference is to avoid shitty people. I guess I wouldn't cry if their lives sucked, but I'm not invested in making that happen.
There seems to be a trend among younger millennials and zoomers that they think everyone is required to put up with them, not leave them alone, but full-on cater to them as they prefer, and I wonder if the "inclusivity" that's been pushed in schools is related to this. I almost dropped my monocle when I first read that there are schools that forbid children from having best friends. That, of course, would be "exclusive", and we can't be having that.

wtf!!
I think you make a good point about how this phenomena might be at least partially caused by the school environment.
That part jumped out to me too. Always wanting to control other people, usually via punishment. Is this a personality type? Why does it seem like this way of thinking has invaded “leftist” spaces?
Like I think about the way my husband and I parent, and despite never using punishments our kid is well-behaved. And then I think of how I interact with other people and it just doesn’t cross my mind that I can (or should!) control other people or want to punish them for not agreeing with me.
Where is this control/punishment thing even coming from?
