Genes and environment both affect culture and culture to some degree will determine which genes are more prevalent in the next generation, continuing to drive cultural shift. 

 yeah, but the soil doesn't help, it does make people more relaxed and lower energy

which means they are easier to herd around and dominate by the ruling class

so you see culture of passivity is only partly acquired through social interaction, it's also partly based on a biochemical situation, and because people are so passive, when there's something that needs to be fought against, people impede and shrug their shoulders and "she'll be right mate" 

 I would suggest the modern culture of snitching is behind more of this than is apparent. And the social atomisation from frequent internal migration and urbanisation.

Our WW2 generation were never described as passive and compliant. Especially not by the British and other europeans. 

 snitching is a marker of socialism, both fascist and communist variants

my parents were 1951 and their parents were 1930s, i'm not sure which generation you are talking about

my grandparents generation were fierce, but they are almost all dead now, the "boomer" generation (my parents) were taught to be snitches and submissive, it was already in full effect in the 60s... the entire UN state worship bullshit mindset was already bedded in by the generation that had kids in the 70s and by the 90s in australia the worst kind of people were in charge of everything 

 Facts. My grandparents were born in the 1920s, thats who I had in mind 

 obviously we are children of the 70s :)
