Generation X reshaping global politics
#4
Justin Trudeau is a good example of an Xer politician with views very similar to the Millennial consensus. Expect more such leaders in the late 2020s and in the 2030s.

Keir Starmer has been described as a "soft socialist" and also an environmentalist. He supports the UN and disagrees with Scotland's wish for independence. On my diagram, he belongs on the red-purple border, close to the centre.

Xavier Bertrand is a centre-right French candidate who wants to re-industrialize France and reduce Islamic migration, but disagrees with Le Pen's brown idiocy.

Many Xers I've debated with strongly support the anti-PC movement. They enjoy bashing leftists with pseudo-intellectual terms like "cancel culture" or "intersectionality" (I am marginally better with "inclusivism" since "inclusive" is indeed a buzzword for the modern Left). They don't like moral restrictions from the religious Right, but don't want new "caring" morality from the Left either, and it's best to view them as moderate libertarians.
