One of the coworkers quickest to get kinda yelly about his opinions at work was a genx guy (older than me) who had very strong "classical liberal" opinions as well as the typical belief that he was being logical, not emotional, as he raised his voice while talking to us about policies he didn't agree with. He also had the typical misogynistic view that he was rational while women were emotional. One time he and I were getting a little heated in a shared discord chat and a mutual friend who was the admin muted both of us.

I told the friend something like "fair, you did try to change the subject and we ignored you, my bad." The older guy got super pissed someone controller his speech and he left the discord forever.

I've also seen my uncle get butthurt that I tried to meditate a discussion between him and my sister (she requested my help because he and my aunt would just both say their side against her and not let them talk.) I mostly just stopped them from interrupting each other and asked them to let the other person speak, and I did it both to my sister and my aunt and uncle.

They later complained about being told what to do in their own house.

While young people can be impulsive and judgy, I find that age does not always fix that. The people it doesn't fix get entitled and think their age justifies their beliefs and that they're automatically wiser than you.
