Again, all those black leaders seem to operate within a framework very similar to the boomer one. The same for Applewhite and Jones. Proto-boomers. Heaven's Gate was essentially an exercise in New Age extremism, and nothing is more Boomerish than New Age.

This is perhaps the most important thing in your post. Silents wanted to mitigate whatever the GIs caused, Boomers to topple the whole GI world.

What about the past Artists? Were the Progressives proto-Missionaries as well?
