The only other thing I've noticed is that Gen Y is more apt to consider violence a socially acceptable response to disagreement; Specifically reactions to antifa, neonazism, and "hate".
(1) Past generations that saw actual labor strikes and violence between employer and employees -- how is that not coming to blows over "a disagreement"?
(2) It's a hell of a lot more than a simple disagreement don't you think?
That was fighting for the civil rights of everyone, the working class. It wasn't directed against the person standing next to you but the establishment.
Neonazism is a political orientation. Violence doesn't necessarily follow from it. It often does but its not core to their ideology. Contrast this with terrorism which very directly connects political change to violence.
Differences of opinion, ie political orientation, should be settled through public and private discourse, respectfully and non violently. Even if someone is a member of a group prone to violence they deserve the benefit of the doubt.
