I call bullshit on this. Literally they are the generation who fostered war in Europe. Look at Brexit its the younger people defending peaceful and gradual unification, the older people want Britain to be "great again". We've learnt in a deep way post WWII not to repeat that. Look at the history of war in general and its happening way less often especially between countries, most is civil wars now. The loss of historic memory of old ill-will is more likely to enable further peace than hinder it.
- grappler 8y agoSome food for thought regarding old people leaning conservative: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/05/poor-people-often-dont-survive-to-become-seniors-who-vote.html http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/05/poor-people-oft...
- scottybowl 8y agoThe whole article is based on the premise that poor people don't live to old age. What a load of nonsense.
- grappler 8y agoThe phrasing used in the article is “the fact that mortality among the poor increases during middle age”. Are you saying this isn't a fact?
- mwaitjmp 8y agoI wouldn't say it's a nessesity to unify into a new political structure for there to be peace.
- onion2k 8y agoLiterally they are the generation who fostered war in Europe. People who remember what life was like 83 years ago are in their 90s now. That means they'd have been children when the war was happening. They didn't foster war. Their parents and grandparents did, and even then only under great duress. The majority of ordinary people didn't want another war.
- scottybowl 8y agoWhat proof do you have that young people didn't vote for Brexit?
