Good grief.

Young people generally outgrow their rebellions

Not university students so much. They become professors and thinktankers and professional “activists” and bureaucrats and run everyone else’s lives.

> Young people generally outgrow their rebellions <

Depends on what they’re rebelling against. Like most young people, I once rebelled against curfews, having to be home at a certain time. Now I see how important a curfew was.

On the other hand, with few exceptions once an antisemite, always an antisemite. So young or old, an antisemite will take any opportunity to cause a Jew trouble.

It’s the job of society to make sure those opportunities do not exist. We are obviously failing at that now.

Only a percentage. If it no longer looks/feels like rebellion, it will become part of a greater mindset/groupthink.

The women's libbers managed to largely pass it on to their offspring.

Sorry to disagree. That used to be true but one of the many things changed is the old way is not true. IMO

Talk to some older people such as a man with his gray hair in a bun. He once wanted the US made over into socialism and with legal marijuana and the destruction of churches when he grew up in the 1960s. All coming true and he hasn’t changed-—the country around him has changed. Fewer marriages, few having children, really declining church attendance, embrace of socialized medicine and accepted increased use of drugs.

People in the antiwar and hippie movements said of Jerry Brown and RFK and others that weren’t enough of them yet. “There have to be years ahead where enough of us get into power and take over to replace the old establishment and then America will change.”

A woman who went to an Arlo Guthrie concert told me: All the people sitting on the hills around the stage were exactly like they were in 1967 except with long gray or white hair now. Tie dyed shirts, beads, ear rings, the whole thing.

> Not when they're indoctrinated. I had the interesting and scary experience of knowing two former Nazi Youth after WWII. While they pretended to be American they were still Jew-hating Nazis. Very frightening people.
