There is a point at which we have not struggled enough to understand and empathise with our elders, sure, but almost 100% of the time, its the reverse that's happened;
They have not seen enough of our struggles and lack the capactity to understand or empathize with them as struggles at all. Their struggles, and later comfort, let's be honest, have numbed them and fitted blinders to their judgement.

“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”

That's a common refrain from fascists and it's not actually historically accurate. Not a great thing to parrot imo

The quote is from 2015, though the concept is not new. As well as being entertained, I am here to learn, so I would ask if you could expound on your statement? His description seems to describe a fascist as a "weak man". I'm just not familiar with what you are referencing.
Edit: With further reading I do see what you're saying. I have just never looked at it through that lens. Thanks for letting me know!
