Still-powerful Silents

[Hintergrund]

There's also a different power the Silents have: Many of them are parents of somebody. Often shitty parents, but not everybody is willing to break with them. "Honor thy father and thy mother", all that shit.

Soo... since these Silents may have witnessed the last World War, or even some dictatorship, they might influence their kids to avoid this, in whatever way.
