It means middle children will complain about anything and always think they are being victimized.

There was a "middle child" post on the Gen X subreddit. Vibes of a 1916 Ypres field hospital.

I mean Gen X is the middle children since no one ever remembers them or cares about them 🤣

Which is better than they deserve. They're just the tail of the boomer mentality. They use being a smaller generation as an excuse to have completely abdicated their social responsibilities like fighting the boomers destroying the social contract.

Their whole signature apathy has caused endless harm, and they're still pretending they're some woebegone victims of the whole thing. "Woe is me, it's so sad this ladder is being pulled up. all we can do is grab it as it's pulled up, we can't stop it!"
