If I don't like a culture I withdraw from it and save myself while the others drown and then kick and scream when someone wants to force me to face it. What generational attitude do I have?
Artistic, like the Silent generation. Of course, you have all sorts of people in all generations, just in different proportions.
Silents were never, ever belligerent, at least not the ones that survived the crisis. Silents were deferential to GIs and presumably to older generations; they were considerate to each other even when disagreeing and were kind to younger generations. They did make out like bandits economically, but that wasn't due to belligerence. Nor have I seen new adaptives being belligerent, though they often do their own thing with older generations none the wiser.
His belligerence is more of a prophetic trait, though he said he behaves like that only when provoked. A Prophet seeks provocation.
