The political culture that evolved out of the great prosperity of the latter half of the 20th Century lacks any concept of a birthright for future generations—any concept that future generations are entitled to reap the benefits of the accomplishments and sacrifices of their forbearers. Much the opposite, this political culture insists that future generations must sacrifice for the sins of their ancestors—quite possibly more than they can afford to lose. In a future with increased scarcity and austerity, younger Whites will bare the brunt of these policies. Long term these trends are not sustainable, and we will likely see a continued rise in populism as well as an increase in those engaging in identity politics and identity-based patronage networks. It will become increasingly clear that anyone who wants to thrive must engage in these identity politics and patronage—even whites—and the culture of identity politics will become less idealistic and more focused on group survival. This is hardly the multicultural harmony Boomers once dreamt of, but it may move us all away from the pernicious individualist values that got us into this predicament.
White Millennials: America’s Sacrificial Lamb
The whole article is full of points to ponder- it is directed mostly at California which is the authors home, but it can easily be extrapolated to the whole Country- I remember when California was a trend setter and things migrated from there to other parts of the Country- my first awareness was window A/C's for cars- I was barely more than 7, I saw it in a 55 or 56 Mercury from California- I became more aware the older I got and my conclusions about trend setting were validated- music, fashion, and hot rods were the tings I paid attention to-
The author lays out his case pretty good-
