Atlantic Monthly, 24 June 2019: The Boomers Ruined Everything
#10
It would seem that...

the Lost found out that where there were no rules there was no expectation of fairness, decency, or even safety. The GIs chose regimentation and conformity to avoid inequity, disorder, and danger. The Silent bent the rules a little to have some fun. Boomers who could get away with it broke the rules so that they could be masters of the universe.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
