First, WHERE is that "Teaching the young to be citizens" picture from? I once read a review of that painting years ago.

suck of sorrow wrote about his cohort in 1972. I'm from around that same age group and remember in detail how many fell for the marketing and relative ease of getting a "career" and then buying that first house. will that happen again? I hope the mimesis does break apart and not reappear

I think your chosen video for the "Will Israel Kill Public Support for America's Bipartisan Consensus?" shows a break in societal norms that took place in my life. There was a lot of condemnation for those of us who did not reflexively choose to "serve our country" during the Vietnam conflict.

The rift ended up being subtle. My cohort of 18 to 20 year old voters in 1972 did go for Nixon.

I hope our young stay far more disenchanted with how things get done. May Andreas Malm be widely read.
