Sorry, thats not true. We have more tyranny now throughout the worls than when "Greatest Generation" saved us from it, they say. They were scarred from that War, and through alcohol and neglect allowed their boomer children permission to rebel in the 60s to bring the pill, abortion, divorce, feminism, and widespread infiltration of communism into the higher education system
That fed it to next generations of law, corpirate, biomed and lower education industries. They also brought codified racism through affirmative action/DEI that destroyed next generations of talent pipelines.
Oh yeah, they also gave the pharmaindustrial complext that deli ered the opiod crisis. Of course, they also gave us historic DUIs/deaths, weed, and legalization of drugs plus widespread social acceptance of illegal drugs. Historic cancer highs, too, and latchkey kids.
Economically, they kicked the can down the curb incessantly through debt financing and credit derivative swaps and the dodd frank lending laws and mortgage loans to unqualified borrowers that went on to create several financial crises and further debt financing.
They also gave us no child left behind law in early 2000s, which dumbed down a nation by teaching to the test. They completely burned out academia by not even trying to populate it with balanced views, and they destroyed Law by entrenching lawfare Judges that ignored so many Americans that MAGA emerged capturi g the "system is rigged" vibes felt by so many regular deplorables.
The space program tanked, and Millenials had to rebuild it through the private sector. Millenials inheritied that whole laundry list while being told they "had" to go to colleges, which pushed woke progressivism that led to the tranz movement of gender mutilations (which is what germans drove out of germany before the greatest generation stopped by there too. So, the story is a bit more complicated than blaming the heirs of millenials, zoomers, and alpha for the world they inherited amid their own shortcomings.
