> this nonsense is creating an asinine, infantilized generation: easily manipulated, desperate for social acceptance, incapable of independent thought, and entirely beholden to the whims of mainstream society.
As far as I can tell, most people in any time period have been like this.
Desperate for social acceptance: There's that "keeping up with the Joneses" thing. Nothing new.
Incapable of independent thought: If most people in the past had been capable, mass movements like Christianity, Islam, Nazism, Communism etc. would never have caught on like they did.
Easily manipulated: Didn't aristocrats etc. manipulate peasants/serfs back in the Middle Ages?
