The fact that boomers ever took fukuyama's "end of history' thesis seriously says all you need to know about their generational narcissism.

Time kept moving and proved that wasn't true, yet they still haven't accepted it. And they probably never will. After they get forced out of power, they'll spend the rest of their days seething and coping about it.

Fukuyama's "Trust: the social virtue" is actually pretty good, and gave him credibility for his later, quite delusional work.

But "generational narcissism" is a bullseye :-p

Some Boomers repent some parts of their platform, though, and a minority were never onboard.
