Starting in the 70s parents generally abandoned parenting, a byproduct of “the me generation”. That accelerated through today where children are openly viewed with sneering and contempt, an infringement on a couple’s ability to live their own lives the way they want. As a result, most younger kids don’t know how to do even the most basic of life chores, cooking, changing the oil, sewing, etc. The government has now wholeheartedly stepped into this vacuum and become this generation’s parents -especially for women. They want and need the government to order their everyday lives and provide them with lifelong parenting, including security.
The generation that bravely landed at Normandy has now been replaced by a generation needing a personal safe space and is confused by what a man and a woman are. Just go back and look at the societal trajectory. It is a modern tragedy.
Remember that poster showing troops about to exit their landing craft on D-Day. "Leaving their safe space"
