Perhaps the first few Awakening years weren't so bad for retired Lost. It has been noted that the Civic Order begins to decline in late 2T.
If the lost had lived on longer, maybe the 2T would have started later... or had trouble.

Civics get coddled and spoon fed as children and youth. That's what causes them to be so entitled for the rest of their lives, because they think being coddled is the normal state of life. Contrast this with reactives, who get neglected in their childhood and youth.

GIs pushed critical thinking upon Boom kids, and it worked to keep most of them from becoming narcissistic fascists
It wasn't the GIs who pushed critical thinking on Boom kids, since the GIs, as Civics, were ultimate conformists that considered critical thinking dangerously radical. It was the Silents that taught Boomers to think for themselves, and for some of them, that thinking ended up being critical thinking.
S&H explicitly say that the GIs thought that they had been too conformist in retrospect, so they encouraged their kids. The Silents definitely did, of course.
And you description "Civics get coddled and spoon fed as children and youth." rather fits the Boomers.
