If you pay attention to Danilynn said in one of her later posts you would realize that something else is going on.  I have said this before and you really need to pay attention.  If Generation X ends up saving the world it will be a complete accident and consequence of trying to keep our own little part of the world from exploding.  Indeed they are busy creating their own arrangements for surviving the stupid.  Odin and Eric the Obtuse just don't like them very much.
If nomads are the ones who solve the big issues of their time why is it the civics tend to get the credit?

Probably because we don't make a lot of noise as we go about getting things done.  One thing that you should know about Generation X is that we don't do virtue signaling.  The GIs may have been doing the shooting but who do you think was figuring out how to go about it.  The Lost were the junior and senior officers of the Second World War.  They were also in middle and senior management of all of those businesses that produced what was needed.

I suspect you understand now why the GIs treated the Lost far better than anyone else did.
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. -- H.L. Mencken

If one rejects laissez faire on account of man's fallibility and moral weakness, one must for the same reason also reject every kind of government action.   -- Ludwig von Mises
