Frankly I have HIGHER standards required to respect the elder generations than I do younger. Young people can be naive, may have lots still to learn, may change through life and so you can give them some leeway with how they behave.

The countless OLDER people who are still pig ignorant, aggressive, egocentric and arrogant though? What is their excuse? They have clearly already lived their entire life that way and will die the same. They've lived most of their life and still not managed to grow or become more enlightened, and have been content to live in their small-minded little bubble. I personally don't see much worth respecting about that.
