It's contemptible what happened to the Anglosphere in terms of social attitudes.  But clearly this didn't happen overnight.  It sounds like these were the last of Silent Gen, or people who'd have been born before WWII ended.  So, clearly, that's the last generation that actually cared about classical liberal ideals.  After that we have Boomers, a generation of selfish perpetual children -- and what a shock to find out that their rise corresponds with civilization's decline.
