Does this 4T seem a little 2T-ish to anyone else?

It's time to roll up our sleeves a bit and take some action, not just comment here. Write letters, speak out, donate, be a prophet gray champion. Fulfill our Boomer role. Not by sitting back and wait for a new prophet generation that may never come or may come too late. Remember the Obama speech. It applies to us too. Change won't happen by waiting for somebody else to do something.

Must be done and will be done are very different concepts.  I agree that we Boomers owe it to ourselves and posterity to do anything we can to move things forward, while being cautious to avoid backlash that seems to deep-six every progressive move forward.  That said, we are only minor players in this human drama.  The forces we need to oppose and overturn have spent decades and untold millions creating the state we're in today. Reversing that and implanting a new paradigm won't be easy.

The great planetary returns in the USA. Now. We are the ones we have been waiting for. No excuses. It's OUR time now, as Bill Clinton said in 1993. We frittered it all away during the 3T, arguing over Monica Lewinsky and gay marriage. But 4Ts cannot be escaped. We cannot escape a climate that is breaking down forever within the next 10 years. If you feel too old, then spend some time and energy and get younger.

You made the point for me.  Obfuscation and misdirection are key elements in the strategy we're opposing, and it's already managed to create enough malcontent that efforts to oppose it are seen as the work of enemies and discounted without being heard.  A dose of reality is the only guaranteed solution to that problem, and, unfortunately, we can't force it to happen.

I agree with this.  A united front is a must, and part of the problem, I might add.  The progressive movement is broken into factions -- all wish to push their special agenda items to the front and others to the side.  For example, a 100% focus on racial justice guarantees that climate concerns and greater wealth and income equality are muffled and ineffectual.  As justified as BLM is in their actions, it's success comes at high cost.  Make a list.  Frankly, it's a bit depressing.
