Oh ya they want to feel like they felt (or just how they think they felt) as children. Joy and happiness came easy then. I also love going to a classic diner. Eat something tasty yum yum. That's not enough for them of course. The diner won't be good enough unless it literally transforms them into children when they enter.

You are right that it's a feeling they crave and instead of realizing that feeling is no longer available to them and seeking new experiences they crash out and cry about seed oil. Pathetic.

all that stoicism and they still can't handle growing older

I mean, aging is a pretty tough thing to handle, but being this existential about burgers being cooked differently while blaming the Jews or whatever is much sillier.

Peter Pan syndrome will always be a pipeline to fascism. Look at boomers, a generation that wants to LARP as perpetual 20-somethings forever and never retire, let alone make room for more people.
