It is not advancement in my opinion - just playing to people's self-indulgent obsessions. It does not bode well for the future.

And yet at the same time, you also tend to brand most young people as "lefties", meaning socialists... when socialist policies are the OPPOSITE of being "out for oneself" and right-leaning capitalism is the very definition of self-serving. How can young people be both "only out for themselves", and ALSO "bleeding heart lefty socialists".
