>>12979182The Silent Generation saw such shit in WWI that they no longer gave fucks. When they came home to get fucked over by Steinbergs that own the factories they striked and rioted. Pinkertons and cops beat the fuck out of them. They were denied the money and benefits they earned from their governments and marched on DC and got shot at and killed again.
Why their children, Boomers were so loyal to the government after the US shot, maimed and killed soldier that fought for them and everyone fucking knew, was a miracle.
Other WWI vets became nihilists, said fuck it and partied themselves to death. You can't really blame them after the shit they saw as they watched their comrades get the shit kicked out of themselves by their own government.
Again, how the Boomers became such submissive pussies is a shame because their parents weren't.
