I truly enjoy discussing these trends with you.
First, I'd recommend your sentence to be split into its two separate components.
1) If by "ire" you mean I have disdain for Boomers' (and my GenX bretheren, FWIW) lack of recall regarding their own youthful ignorance as they pile on about Millenial stupidity, yes...though indignation may be a more applicable word upon reflection.
2) Your thesis about the relative leftism of Millenials vs youthful Boomers is worthy of investigation.
I have done some cursory research - there are lots of datasets on Millenial views on the subject, but nothing of substance I can find on Boomers' views circa 1965-1978. Now, there were certainly plenty of campus revolts etc in the 1960s, but notwithstanding my previous commentary I know not every Boomer wanted to drop acid and stick to to the man (my Boomer uncle actually punched out a hippie staging a sit-in).
Alternatively, regarding Millenials, of course many of them have disturbingly positive views on society and socialism etc. But, as I've written elsewhere, disentangling the extent to which, as you correctly note -
Plus liberalism is more leftist now Many factors contributing to this are not kids faults Culture simply brainwashes all but the strong
from that inherent in the culture of Millenials is, I believe, where the debate turns.
Millenials are more diverse than other generations in terms of race and ancestry. When I was a kid, there were not many other kids that weren't first/second/third generation WASPs. Nowadays, classrooms look like the UN...I'm not saying that is inherently bad (classrooms in the 1930s undoubtedly were mixed, i.e. Italians and Irish and German etc.) but it DOES contribute to the exposure Millenials have to outside ideas. Where this diversity can go sideways is a function of the extent to which the schoolmates integrate into American culture vs try to change culture.
If this cultural change occurs swiftly in the Millenial ranks, as you hint, then surely parents - especially Deplorable ones - have to be somewhat responsible. I know it's hard raising kids nowadays - I have my own DoodleBob jrs - but hard isn't impossible.
In closing, I admit mine is a biased sample but the Millenials with whom I have contact are NOT Pod-eaters. I also see Millenials who are Normal being peeved at how the pod-eaters get all the attention. Their backlash materializes in high employment and, hopefully, Trumpian voting patterns. It is THESE men and women of whom I write when these bash pieces are published: yes, I find these pieces irksome, but I also believe those on the bubble are at risk of falling off the fence onto the MSNBC side OR they will simply check out and not vote for Trump. We won by 76k votes last time...we need all the help we can get.
See 68 one of your own saying same thing I do
I am father to two millennials...women....28 and 30
I’m dad also to three boys ages 12 15 and 19
I’m not sure.....generation Z maybe
My girls are right wing especially the 28 year old.....the 30 year old is too she’s just weak on fag agenda sadly
28 year old is married to a like minded half Yankee from Schenectady who spent summer here near Knoxville
30 year old is engaged and cohabitats with a local Murfreesboro boy from an old line family who’s ancestors are buried in the antebellum cemetery like my parents are....Evergreen
My two older boys are as well....the younger boy is too young but it’s be a surprise if he turns out different
They are southern which helps but it’s more due to my influence
Kids in my era 13 in 1970
We took drugs and were wild but we remained faithful to God guns country history and tradition and even if we dallied with libertarian liberalism we never entertained faggotry or abortion or no God or gun confiscation or environmentalism beyond no littering and wet scrubbers on smokestacks and sewerage treatment as laudable
My oldest boy is on POL on 4chan which is green frog alt right territory
He thinks I’m too pragmatic
He despises most of his peers and our culture...and seeks out women who share his embrace of old America
And we live near one of America’s largest hipster concentrations in what is now too cool Mecca Nashville
It’s just how it is.....maybe the pendulum will swing back.
