Some really good stuff in here.
To your third point, religion and tyranny - I submit that they align not because of any shared values, but rather the shared need for authoritarianism by nn% of the people (I'll submit that nn = approx 30, but in the end it really doesn't matter what the number is).
To your last point (I am in the camp that holds generational theory to provide guidelines and shouldn't be taken as prescriptive) - it's as tho we are still in a very extended 3T and the 4T trigger will drop when one of these ignored issues suddenly turns into a flashpoint. And then everyone will say "how did we not see this coming???"
