The Greatest Generation Today? (Have We Gone Soft?)

The four generation cycle implies that the millennial are the next greatest generation.

I think millennial would welcome taxes and self sacrifice to deal with serious issues like plutocracy, climate change, resource depletion, lack of universal health care or affordable college, overpriced housing, etc.

But millennial won’t be dominant in politics until the 2040s or so.

I’m a millennial and I wouldn’t welcome taxes, especially not to fight the things you listed, but if there were a real existential threat, something like another Nazi war machine gobbling up European countries every couple of weeks, and a Pearl Harbor, or another 9/11, or some nuking of American cities, I’d be on-board with serious sacrificing to kick the shit out of the responsible party.

Hell, I’d buy war bonds tomorrow if it meant we starting killing the IRGC.
