It is quite long but it provides a wonderful explanation as to why boomers just don't get it. They live in a hyper reality where "Reality has no authority on their signs and symbols that give meaning"
I saw an OP post the article again recently and commented on how they showed it to their Mum who basically processed it, said some gibberish and went back to her preconceived ideology which dictates her frame of the world, and how she parses events.
So OP from that thread, you're mum's in a hyperreality and can't hear you.
An older way of summing it up would be "You can't teach an old dog new tricks"
Man, I was just discussing this with a friend. He and I grew up in Seattle and watched as the world said all white straight people were evil. So our options given were be gay, be evil, or go hardcore fake traditionalist. It's not an actual tradition, just the concept of it that we think works. None of the options worked and Seattle fell.
I grew up a little north of there. From what I understand the leftist politics caught up and hit that state hard. Talking with my siblings frankly we can’t remember many good things about that state other than the scenery. We have some family there and they tell us the drug issues are out of control.
I’m in Texas now and things are much better. People are way more kind….Plus we get consistent sunlight which is nice.

It hit everywhere. Even Spokane has it.
