"Right now, Generation X just wants a beer and to be left alone."
That is the problem. It should take over the reins now. Gen X has the problem that it was educated by ex-hippies with massive egos and personalities, who later sold out the West to China.
Gen X has major confidence issues and should get rid of them. It is under a two-pronged attack from the last boomers and woke millenials. Well, fight!
- drumhead 5y agoThe problem was that we grew up in a time when the dreams died and we were having to deal with the tailwind of the post war growth boom. The protest movements of the 60's and 70's delivered nothing, the state-ist, interventionist keynesian economics produced low growth, high inflation, high interest rates, high unemployement. The right wingers Thatcher and Reagan, cleaned up the mess. Making money was the only truth to us, education and career were all important. The university protestors that preceeded us did nothing achieved nothing, and sold out anyway. Ultimately ideology is a pile of shit, and we dont want to waste our time with them. Technology and money were our gods. Of the two I fear millenials more, they grew up in a stable world without high inflation and economic stagnation, they want to invite the socialist tiger into their house but they dont know what the consequences will be. Their attitude to freedom is unnerving. They're dragging the world back into the age of the victorians.
