When the lost generation was crushed by the world wars, we lost not only empires

When the lost generation was crushed by the world wars, we lost not only empires, but the remnants of aristocratic values that accompanied them, producing ‘lost people’. These lost people re-entered a world that was hopelessly changed,
It is very hard to blame any generation given that it’s responding to events that existed during it’s youth and teens.
I think I have a grasp of’what went wrong’ and it’s largely that the wars opened teh doors for the marxist sequence, and the conversion of the colleges and universities postwar such that the elite institutions stopped training the ‘pseudo-noble’ american families with that traditional loyalty, led to credentialism on one hand and the capacity of marxists and progressives to bypass those traditions and instead use those educations and media to destroy our civilization from within. I Mean, carnegie was seeking to merge the soviets with the americans. That kind of idiocy was everywhere: the belief that you can replace aristocratic traditions that made the west rather than lift up the other lasses into that system and build upon it.
