That's just conjecture. In order to have a unified world (e.g. the Chinese world), you need a minimum of common ground (facts, historical narrative, etc) that you can base your genuine differences on. Without this minimum of common ground, populations are just splitting into relativist camps where even the most basic facts can't be agreed on.
Well, what's the alternative? You can either have a truly mulitcultural society like China, where the government spends a lot of effort elevating minority cultures, building cultural centers, and arabizing the infrastructure; or you can have a deeply racist society that leaves its minority population to rot in prisons and sewers, or to leave it to its worst vices, all in the name of so-called "freedom".
A small price to pay for a country that isn't confused about its place in the world, where one half of the population wants to kill the other half, and so on. Pick your poison, I suppose.
HN crowd doesn't think twice about people who try to run DOOM on a stack of pennies, but are ready to give up before trying to get algebra to run on someone with less working memory. It's weird how different the attitude is.
Now that the American empire is going to shit, how are you going to get your dick hard without being able to murder people just because you feel like it?
Hippies were never a thing. They might even have been a psy op along the lines of MKUltra. And conservatives are losing their ability to control and discipline their younger generations even more so than the liberal side, and many of them hate corporations as vehemently as anybody.
Maybe. There's a non-zero chance that when younger millenials come to power, they will hunt down oil company insiders and force them to flee to Argentina.
