In my circles it's Gen xer's coming into an unsettling acceptance of the type of conservative you become in your late 40's/early 50's where you've seen radicalism just not work like we were promised in our post-punk grunge teens.
We still want to promote a better world but we're a bit cynical that it's possible without completely destroying what we have and then leaving the pieces for the extreme left/right to conquer. What to do, says the slacker generation?
