For boomers the WW2 narrative is their religion. Questioning it is blasphemy. You can see it in how the become performatively angry. They are terrified of appearing even slightly adjacent to anything that isn't in lockstep.
It's a foundational myth but it's inverted. Instead of your group being the heroes of the myth, they're the villains. As such it embeds the idea of eternal condemnation and shame. A very unhealthy outlook for life.

That is why these same dumb boomers compare Biden to Hitler instead of comparing him to Stalin.
Leftist boomers call Trump Orange Hitler.
This is one of the things I hate most about the Boomers.
Their enemies are always called the next Hitler.
But will unconditionally defend and vote for Genocide Biden, who is literally providing weapons and funding to commit genocide right now.
I am a left leaning democrat (yeah, bite me), and I am voting for Trump next election in disgust (for the above reason and many other reasons).
I'm not up to date on any of my shots anymore, so I'll give it a pass.
