Joe GigantiHOST
And here's the other part of that reality.
Joe GigantiHOST
The troubles the baby boom generation wrought, you can go back a generation to the greatest generation.

Some of it came from well-intentioned Cocoon ripping.

And it was the last war where we were definitively the good guys.
Tristan RiddellHOST
And it was that time when... everything was moving forward everything was great and so that was the greatest generation and they they spawned the boomers and so the boomers were raised on that mentality that the greatest generation gave them and so we are the product of the greatest generation all of us sitting here today is the product of that greatest generation mentality but if you dialed it back just one decade i think you would uh you would discover what you're talking about john about how pre-World War II, like before 38, you know, before the invasion of Poland, you have like Washington is what it always is and what it always was.

Nahida GreenHOST
... or, you know, or with my father, he had one silent, early Silent Gen parent and one, um, Greatest Generation parent at the tail end of Greatest Gen.
Nahida GreenHOST
And so for me there was a huge difference in how my aunt, who is Gen X, was raised versus how I was raised.

Mark LevinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
What the hell has happened to our society? Where is our can-do-it mentality? I want to talk about the greatest generation versus today's young people, okay? I got to thinking about this over this taco debate on the internet.
Mark LevinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That's how pathetic things have become.
Jay BurdenHOST
Okay, so for reference, if you don't remember this, what happened is a minor scandal called burrito game, right? The genesis of this was a post made by a TPUSA leader.
