... this generation of our children is growing up as the cannon fodder of tomorrow. They are largely unprepared and incapable of surviving outside their consumer and pleasure bubble. This is a generation that is prepared to approve any capitulation unconditionally the minute any blowhard with a weapon in hand jumps off the TV or computer screen into real life.

I was talking to someone about this just the other day - what would today’s generation do if suddenly they had no ‘gadgets’, food was something they had to produce or starve, the essentials weren’t something you could go out and buy. It wasn’t an optimistic conversation because we didn’t think most would survive. If that ‘armed someone’ offered food, water & shelter, I think many would say “ok”.
