I think this is a different issue. It is more of an attack on some fundamental principles. Like, even if some older people in the 70's thought hippies and beatniks were lazy no-goods, the fundamentals - free speech, the right to protest and disagree - protected everyone. I think the worry today is that the next beatnik kid is too scared to say anything outside the status quo. Personally I feel like the traditional defenders of liberalism have gotten too limp dick and internet-unsavvy. Ultimately I hope that as internet-native people age and mature they will realize the importance of the loftier philosophical ideals required to make progress actually happen.
