Counterfactual: culture wars would have been avoided if Gen X has been a normal-sized cohort. We’d have had numbers to tell both boomers and millennials to stfu and let us handle shit for a while. Boomers have overstayed on stage, millennials are only 70% ready, X’ers are too few

Culture wars are overstated imo. The real story is the US and Europe feeling they are falling behind as Asian African S American economies thrive and the global narrative becomes more heterogeneous. Culture wars are Beatles vs Stones and 80% of people never heard of either

No, Silents, not boomers, are parents of X’ers. Boomers produced Millennials. Generations birth n+2. Silents were children during depression/WW2 era.

Agree. Also feels like there are waaaaay too many people lumping themselves in with “millennial”

Counter-counterfactual: X-ers could do the job with smaller numbers but we decided against it. We were raised by Jor-El not to “interfere with human history”

Boomers won by directly benefiting from the golden 50s enabling them to amass wealth and live long enough to do whatever TF they wanted to
