Why?


Why would Generation X turn to violence and evil to defeat the Baby-Boomers?

The answer is simple:

Fear!

They were so afraid of unemployment and poverty that they coined the slogan No Future to define their generation.

They believed that the left-wing politics of the Baby Boomers was responsible for the economic recession of the 1980s.

And they were so terrified of missing out that they embarked on a campaign of violence and hate against them.

Financial mismanagement became an election issue.

And Labor wad labelled The Guilty Party.

Even if this was true it does not justify the use of violence, hate, and evil.

Intimidation and reconstruction were inspired by fear.

Time will tell what history will make of Generation X.
