Sorry, no, I just don't buy it. Europe suffered far more and yet they're far better adjusted and capable. This self-centered, oversensitive, nihilistic generation is simply another iteration of their self-centered, isolationist nation, looking for an easy, comfortable cause to believe in. And nothing short of a war is going to shake them out of that.

Because all I see in Europe are shambling corpse nations where 40-year-olds still live in their parent's home because they can't find a job or, if they have a job, cannot afford rent in the midst of a slow xenophobic right-wing/nationalist takeover of most of the continent.
