What's with the massive increase in this idea (an actual meme?) that people in their twenties are the "deceived generation"? I'm willing to accept that since I'm in my twenties I just notice it more since it's my friends and acquaintances making these noises- older members, did you guys experience something similar? It really seems to be an underlying thread to a whole series complaints. In the UK and the US (the only two countries I know about) there's a litany of complaints about how a degree doesn't lead to a job anymore, how the rich[=old] have crafted a system where they profit massively, and now how being told "you're special" has led to people being shit.
