Also falls perfectly within what Yuri Bezmenov (the KGB defector who explained the Soviet's plan to take down the West through ideological subversion) laid out.

At around that time, you would have the first batch of fully indoctrinated (trained by Socialists from childhood to adulthood, with no oversight or counterbalance) graduating.

That is also the group that sets the stage for the demoralisation phase of the plan and allows for the next phase: destabilisation.

Good summary here: https://www.oaoa.com/opinion/columnists/hart-kgb-defector-re...

And the original interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX3EZCVj2XA

I don't think this is purely a Soviet ploy working out, but you can't help but look at the Western education system and realise that's a big part of the problem.

In that interview he also talked about how the USSR was imminently going to take over the West because everyone had been indoctrinated to communism, so he's not exactly batting 1000. It seems to me he lays out a culture bleakness Rorschach test about "kids these days" that's easy to see ourselves in, and will be able to any point.

You haven't even a shred of understanding of social radicalism in the 60s and 70s.
