My point about the Greatest Generation is that the kinds of things I would hear them saying (when they thought they were in a “safe space” anyway) back when I was much younger is stuff I never heard much of since, except to be mocked by people in my generation (Gen X) and by the boomers…until I started hearing some of the edgelords from much younger generations now saying it. And getting an audience for it.
It’s almost like an echo…it’s…actually kind of terrifying if I really think about it. I thought that kind of thing was mostly over/kinda fringe. It seems like some kinda zombie virus that is now spreading among the younger population. Even someone as atrocious as Rush had to dog whistle this stuff…the younger versions of him are just saying it out loud.
