Weaselpuppy:
He used an unfortunate way to point out what is a fundamental cycle of humanity. Thereās a great book called The Fourth Turning that explains there are basically four 20 yr generational types in Western culture, and that they repeat as a cycle every 80 years, following economic and social/parenting patterns of behavior. If you look at Western history there is a big cultural reset War about every 80 years for the past five hundred years or so.
What he is pointing out is that the generation that we call the millennials is the one in the cycle that doesnāt have any skin in the game in regards to having personal or close family memory to the last big cultural reset War and as such donāt value the fruits of not having those Wars happen in the time frame they live in and that had directly preceded them. Itās a great book which I love dearly and suggest to anyone. You will definitely have your eyes opened about current political economic and social scene, and see that everything old is New Again
I havenāt read the book but I believe Iāve read a summary and analysis of it. It really was a good read and back then it predicted what we are seeing right now.
