I think my favorite part of the post is not realizing that if the hard times were WWII, the strong men were those who fought in it, and the good times they created were the 50s, then the weak men that were created couldn’t be the ones born in the 90s and 00s...

WWII didn't just "end" like flipping off a light switch. The global order was really rearranging itself from about 1910 to 1990, when the Germans, Japanese, and Chinese Communists finally achieved meaningful control. Since then we have had a relatively easy time of bread, circuses, and decline, and it is indeed people who were born in the late 1980s who are the first among us who've never perceived the world to be in a state of profound struggle.
