Think about it. “The Greatest Generation” and their parents lived through a pandemic. About a century later, so are we. They lived through two really big wars, an economic boom, and a depression. They saw communism and fascism, those twin evils, take over major parts of Europe and Asia. In a very short time period—under fifty years—they saw the whole world remade.
They also saw Western society lose its naive belief that everything would keep getting better until one day the millennial kingdom started up. I think we’re also seeing people’s illusions being shattered now.
