Its a shame the boomers betrayed the ideals this mans generation stood for it is, but its going to be up to us to take up the torch of civilzation and hand it to the next generation. I wish I could say my generation will do as well as his but that isn't the case. Still I will try any ways and hopefully a wiser smarter generation will restore the west to greatness.

No, members of the GI Generation, mostly women and certain kinds of men, set the intellectuals foundations for everything that plague us today. It wasn't Boomers who developed Critical theory, Post Modernism, etc., it was members of the GI Generation and earlier who then indoctrinated the Boomers. Let me emphasize this because people can't seem to understand it, the Boomers were not the origin of these issues, they were the first VICTIMS of it.

Didn’t his generation raise the boomers though? And even lay the foundation for the modern welfare state?

I’m not bashing them for it, mind you. Those all seemed like good ideas at the time.

And for as much as I blame the GI Generation for their failures, no, they were not responsible for the foundation of the modern welfare state. The GI generation, by definition, came of age in the 1930s to 1940s, meanwhile the primary foundation for the modern welfare state was built by the FDR administration, which began in 1933. In other words, the GI Generation generally couldn't vote for FDR when he first came into office and they were not in any positions of power or influence to be the origin point of those ideas.

What the GI Generation was was naive. They believed in the academic and news institutions and trusted FDR's government to be honest. Guess what, by the 1930s a large percent of the elites and academics were already under the thrall of Communism and Socialism. The most influential news media, the New York Times, was already a shill paper for the USSR, having already aided in covering up the Holodomor and other Soviet atrocities.

To be fair to them the greats had been through the fucking wringer.

They grew up during one of the worst depressions in human history, they got stuck fighting in one of the bloodiest wars in human history, and after all of the crazy horrible shit they went through they just wanted their children to have the things they never had. It wasn't malicious, they honestly tried to be good parents.

But they were too permissive and holy shit the boomers went crazy.

They failed in that manner yes but it was a very human failure. As for america against the soviet union. America was in no way prepaired for that. I mean seriously we spent decades fighting the kind of dirty conflict russias been doing since the days of the golden hoard.

The surprising thing isn't americas fuck ups its that the country did as well as it did.

This is mostly true, though again, the issue wasn't that the GI Generation was to permissive. It's that they were still to trusting of authority figures and institutions. Instead of adhering to traditional methods of raising children, they listened to people like Dr. Spock, but even so compared to how the Silent Generation and Boomers later raised their children they were not overly permissive. It's that they trusted the institutions and basically allowed schools and colleges especially to propagandize their children. There's a reason it was parts of the GI Generation and Silent generation who realized something had gone amiss and founded the modern Conservative movement, it was a reaction to seeing how badly captured academia and media had become.

Bill Maher tells Ann Coulter she must have superpowers if she knows who the Kansas City shooters are ... apparently paying attention to facts is a superpower?

Say what you want about Ann Coulter, but this clip of her spitting facts to Van Jones and Bill Maher will forever live on the internet as yet another example of Bill Maher's crowd laughing at someone for being correct. She stands her ground and takes the shaming laughter like a champ and that's...
