Quite frankly, if a lot of American Generation X reactionaries find the High Orthodox culture of Russia preferable to American egalitarianism, they ought to move there. These worthless people are as much the problem as the Boomers.

Get out.
Things are gonna slide
Slide in all directions
Won't be nothin'
Nothin' you can measure anymore

The blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold
And it has overturned the order of the soul
When they said REPENT (repent), I wonder what they meant

I've seen the future, brother:
It is murder

- Leonard Cohen, "The Future" (1992)

No, this is a more uniquely Gen X form of reaction: Boomer reactionaries tend to be stupidly emotionslistic. I'm talking about Gen X neoreactionaries, who tend to have a more explicitly 'intellectual' conception of things (such as the notion that Putnism is a thing to embrace).

We had at least one of our board posters move to Russia. And come back.

I think most observers see quite a difference from Gen X already, even if our 4T is mild. Millennials are much more group-oriented, more tech oriented, more politically liberal, less adventurous and prone to crime, etc.

Maybe Gen Y and older Millies might become a sort of Nomad/Civic hybrid? And late Millies start to resemble the Progressives? Or maybe late Millies will become a sort of watered down, rump Civic group?
