What causes the “Karen”?

[OddBeMe]

Modernized world where they feel helpless

We’re just experiencing old people as they always have been for centuries

Just to say, there are young Karens. Just appears to be an elderly issue.

Two parts entitlement, one part self-grandiosity, and one part delusionment.

They were treated like queens and now they're aging... and nobody cares about their old smelly vaginas anymore. Small dogs and/or cats have taken the place of children. In their minds, they know better, and are more than willing to dictate their will upon others... Even though they haven't done shit or faced a single real challenge in their own life.

Bam... you got a Karen. Also, notice they're always on the edge of breaking down and crying. I feel sorry for them but they're so full of shit and entitled that I could never relate. ... and yes, they do seem to be getting younger and younger. You gotta realize these poor people go home, watch 'The View' or the likes of Rachial Maddow and pet their small animals. They really live a sad existence and they're not loved by anyone.

You ever hear that saying about kids..."Love me or hate me, but you will not ignore me"

That's literally them. The male version is called a Ken right? Remember they all think they're progressive and way better than you. They don't care what you think because they "think" they know better.

Our world is all fucked up now, Karen was a natural consequence of it.

Most likely an attempt to enforce social cohesion to rules to provide some form of security in an evermore insecure world.

In a time where goverment still had the consent and respect of the governed, not only would they not feel the need, but their actions would have the support of the broader community.

Instead we live in a community that is largely disillusioned with all the rules and leaders and thus chooses not follow them precisely as some what repressive.

All while we have likewise at the force of the same leaders change in policy also lost our social support systems which would otherwise provide such individuals with such security. So they are left trying to help solve the insecurity problem of non-perfect compliance by becoming a kind of vigilante.

Did government ever have respect of the people? Basically technology has made politicans more visible. Thus if video cameras and hidden mics were around during Teddy Roosevelt and his backroom, deal making I doubt his head would be carved in a mountain.

He’d hate Rushmore anyway as he was a nature lover.

@oddbeme
While it is certainty true our knowledge of the realities of goverment has reduced our respect for it. The scope of goverment is where it has exceeded our consent to be governed, creating both needless animosity and countless economic & political problems.

The fact that nearly all politicians are just power obsessed egomaniacs who actually believe their way is best for everyone. A fact they put on display for the cameras and have always set us against each-other to push just tells you why this happens and will happen in any state where they cannot be controlled.

They never mentally grew up. They learned that technique worked as a kid and stuck with it. Mummy probably cracked at the checkout when they threw a "me wanna sweetie, tantrum.

My theory is movies from the 80s trained women to act that way because they often portrayed strong independent women who stood their ground and now every idiot over 40 digs their high heels in thinking thats how you get what you want.

The main thing is not to let them drag you down to their level or they'll beat you with experience.

I wouldn’t be surprised if these people have some type of mental illness or were bullied in the past that’s why there so grumpy and sad they try to take their anger and hurt out on other people

• Antidepressants. 1in4 mostly white women in America are on them. It imbalances brain chemistry, much like how all those mass shooters are on them

[OddBeMe]

Funny memes. But I would advise…boomers are abstinently against mental health. My mother in particular.

[Drewtate]

Boomers have been on drugs since they turned 20. They only saw a difference between the drugs a black guy sold them and those their doctor gave them. A lot of pharmaceutical prescriptions given to boomers are ilegal now, weight loss pills, Quaaludes as well as antidepressants. Also people talk about the weed and heroin Vietnam vets tool but nobody talks about the Amphetamines (speed) issued to soldiers and marines in the Vietnam war. Boomers were lead to belive thst science and a pill would solve all their problems and we'd all get flying cars.
Boomers are the drug addicts generation.

Ubiquitous video cameras. The Karens were always there, in the same way that Bigfoot and ghosts weren't.

[OddBeMe]

I’m wondering if Victorian London was “Pardon me, you can’t park your horse there! It’s clearly marked carriage only!”

“Well your carriage would be far too big lady’”

[goaded]

I think they just got their footman to whip the miscreants.

The good ole days…

Karen causes herself.
But her cause isn't mine, and so when she finishes her sermons she'll find that I already have left.
Which then will make her going into the next round.
I guess, the problem is... me! :D

[exitseven]

It is unfortunate. I have a cousin named Karen and she is the opposite of a Karen.

You have ot be sorry for all the Karens and Brandons in the world today.
