Wait a minute. Didn't you just say a few days ago that you were
leaving forever? As I used to say to Sean Love, we can't miss you if
you don't leave.
Anyway, I assume that you mean your question as a dumb joke, but it's
actually very insightful, whether intentionally or not.
I've written about this particularly with regard to the Brexit
situation. Everyone in the EU and UK expects the other side to
negotiate and be willing to compromise. That's because they're
all pretending that it's still 1995, when the Silents were running
things, and they knew how to negotiate and compromise. But today,
the Gen-Xers are in charge, and they're incapable of negotiating
and compromising.
So the answer to your question is this: The establishment class is
going to stop pretending it's still 1995 during the First Turning,
after WW III ends.
