There was a stab at exaining what the YouTube video is attempting to explain in a book by a very good modern philosopher called "After Virtue: A Study in Moral Theory" by Alasdair MacIntyre written back in 1981.

you won't understand how to communicate now or you'll purposely be deceitful because you see who you're communicating with as your enemy.

Macintyre (Auron) in the Total state also references that philosopher but uses the Lions and Foxes metaphor.

The boomers aren't out of touch. They just hate you because their fundamental moral values have taught them that you are the bad guys. Now, we're coming up with ways to explain why boomers aren't understanding because it seems like they aren't but the boomers get it, they just don't want to reveal the fact they think you're a bad person. There's a clash on fundamental morality.

Using your Mum as an example, it sounds like she just doesn't understand what's happening, but since she's secure in her reality, it might as well be on the TV or in a book, not happening to her own Son. Remember boomers are the first generation to be completely propagandised. And unlike us, they got the carrot and wealth to go with it. We aren't getting the houses and families so naturally the propaganda falls short. But for them, they got the propaganda and the rewards that it promised.

Yes, definitely. Everything they were told worked out for them so they don't question it. When I say it doesn't work for me, they insist it must be a deficiency in the me rather than the system which worked for them. Their understanding of things beyond this is limited.
