Silents of the Week: Congressional Leadership
by Steve

Pelosi represents the old guard Neoliberals, who think the current system is sustainable, maybe with some tweaking, but let's not rock the boat and ruin our 401Ks.

And this one sentence explains that big changes in politics are very improbable as long as that generation's still in power. As long as they can do it in a legal way (seems Silents don't dare to do it differently), they will find ways to keep their 401Ks. Later generations, of course...

Would you agree with my theory that the Silents prevent the 4T from taking off? If not: Where am I wrong?

I do agree. Having the Silent around is like having one foot still planted in the 3T. That's even though there has been some drastic change - but once the Silent have really bowed out (of positions of power) then the change will come fast and hard, I believe.

[A]lthough one would like to change today's world back to the spirit of one hundred years or more ago, it cannot be done. Thus it is important to make the best out of every generation. - Hagakure
