AspieMillenial,
Your view point is quite valid. Living in Russia, I tend to find the younger generation here is not dogmatic and tend to be interested in opposing points of view. I have had many interesting debates with Russian young people. I would say that they are more individualistic in a sense that they are willing to tolerate others views.
In the West however, the Millennials are entirely collectivistic and only accept the current dogma as a religious belief entirely. No alternative view is accepted and that is why many dissident writers had to go more underground because of the lack of free speech. I remember during my college days how you would get actual recruiters for antifa drives outside educational institutions...sounds all very red guard if you will.
I think it is this zeal that will put off future generations from globalisation and the world state for a while. They will regard it as some form of fascism and not want to play ball with it.
However I would like to add thanks to idiots like Richard Spencer and the like, opposing views have been decried as another form of racism that must be combatted. I would add that Charlottesville was not only the death of the alt right but of any opposing point of view to the mainstream. I have yet to see anything that can challenge the left in terms of debate really resurfacing since then...
