Failkids and failgrandkids seem to be root cause of half the big, systemic problems in the world. Seems to take till the 4th generation to get to “ordinary”

Ironic that 2/3 of new-wealth America now has debilitating woke derangement syndrome and can’t think straight… and it’s almost entirely due to kids/grandkids of older wealth dominating slacktivist sinecures
Their own kids/grandkids will definitely do similar things in 10-20y

You can’t. They dominate critical ecosystem roles like writing for mainstream media, being directors of nonprofits, holding ESG jobs in their fathers’ hedge funds etc. So for eg actual poor blue collar worker treated badly trying to get social justice has to work through them.
