Over a century ago when the crisis of capitalism caused debates immigration, reproductive rights, sexual orientation, and male hierarchy, a reaction named Lothrop Stoddard appeared to protect the institutions most sacred to white male capitalist power. Is Jordan Peterson a 21st reincarnation of that project?

What are the origins of the term OkBoomer? Does this generational outcry stem from a reality in which discourse is controlled by youth due to the prevalence of social media, or is there a materialist socio economic basis to this framing that attempts to lay generational blame for our current reality on a certain cohort? Are there any political utilities to using generational analysis to shape political forecasting? What can we learn from such discourse? Should it be abandoned?
