Life as a Silent Gen - Stories...

Valerie Vogue

The Silent Generation, born between the mid-1920s and the early 1940s, is often characterized by its quiet strength and resilience. Unlike the more outspoken Baby Boomers or the politically vocal Millennials, members of this generation are sometimes referred to as the “silent” because they were raised in an era where conformity and restraint were the societal norms. Their lives unfolded during some of the most transformative and tumultuous events of the 20th century, including the Great Depression, World War II, and the early stages of the Cold War.
Growing up in the midst of economic hardship, many from the Silent Generation experienced a world of scarcity, hard work, and sacrifice. The Great Depression shaped their values, instilling a sense of frugality, a strong work ethic, and an appreciation for the basics of life. These formative experiences molded a generation that was deeply loyal, resourceful, and able to persevere through difficult circumstances. As children, they witnessed the turmoil of the 1930s, and as young adults, they were called upon to contribute to the war effort during World War II.
Yet, despite the challenges they faced, the Silent Generation was also a time of growth and progress. It was a generation that saw the advent of many technological and social changes, although their response to these innovations was often more cautious compared to younger generations. They witnessed the rise of television, the automobile culture, and, later, the early days of the space race and computing. Their era was also one of profound social change, as the civil rights movement and the women’s liberation movement began to take root, though many from the Silent Generation remained resistant to these shifts.

The Authoritarian Moment - How...

Anonimo

New York Times Bestseller
How far are Americans willing to go to force each other to fall in line?
According to the establishment media, the intelligentsia, and our political chattering class, the greatest threat to American freedom lies in right-wing authoritarianism. We’ve heard that some 75 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump represent the rise of American fascism; that conservatives have allowed authoritarianism to bloom in their midst, creating a grave danger for the republic.
But what if the true authoritarian threat to America doesn’t come from the political right, but from the supposedly anti-fascist left?
There are certainly totalitarians on the political right. But statistically, they represent a fringe movement with little institutional clout. The authoritarian left, meanwhile, is ascendant in nearly every area of American life. A small number of leftists—college-educated, coastal, and uncompromising—have not just taken over the Democratic Party but our corporations, our universities, our scientific establishment, our cultural institutions. And they have used their newfound power to silence their opposition.
The authoritarian Left is aggressively insistent that everyone must conform to its values, demanding submission and conformity. The dogmatic Left is obsessed with putting people in categories and changing human nature. Everyone who opposes it must be destroyed.
Ben Shapiro looks at everything from pop culture to the Frankfurt school, social media to the Founding Fathers, to explain the origins of our turn to tyranny, and why so many seem blind to it.
More than a catalog of bad actors and intemperate acts, The Authoritarian Moment lays bare the intolerance and rigidity creeping into all American ideology – and prescribes the solution to ending the authoritarianism that threatens our future.
