That’s what I keep reiterating. This is like some weird teenage rebellion from the boomers. They’re like “finally the sane people have died. We can be Nazis now.” All of this is just some way to piss on my grandparent’s grave.
People keep referencing that Fourth Turning stuff. People say it’s been largely “debunked”, but I do wonder if there is not something to it…I think the larger problem is not so much the boomers, though. Taco is not even a boomer and he definitely should have known better on the Nazi stuff, but his brain is broken and I doubt his generation has very much to do with it.
The young males all bro’ing out online, bitching about the dating scene, calling themselves incels, listening to Rogan and Benny Johnson and joining up with nonsense like the Proud Boys are most definitely NOT boomers.
As a Gen Xer I remember a boomer lecturing me on wearing a shirt from The Cult - the had made use of the Iron Cross and he was concerned I had fallen in with the skinhead stuff. Gen X and certainly boomers had quite a bit of that drilled into our heads about the dangers of fascism. I think it stuck with most of us. As fewer and fewer olds are around to keep that cultural memory alive though, I do wonder…the problem is that even with the people that do know about the dangers of fascism, I think few are really aware that it won’t take the same form as it did in Italy or Germany in the 1930s.
I guess I have different experiences where I do see the GenZ kids have all fallen into blatant Hitler worshiping Nazism. But I see a lot of boomers who were proud veterans and sons of veterans who have drank the Koolaide. Also, like who was the one raising these Hitler worshiping GenZ kids? Who raised the JD Vance millennials? These people spawned from somewhere and this world view was fostered for decades…. Who do we blame for all this?
