Which?

Feeling  admiration and respect for Prince Phillip as he stands down from public life, a twinge of nostalgia for his generation touched me. He's only slightly older than both of my living parents.

I wonder, do I share more values and attitudes with their generation or my adult offspring?

Tough question.

(Or, is characterization of distinct generations just another collectivist denial of inherent individualism?)

Leftists worked for years to gain control of the education system, and they achieved this goal decades ago.

They want to use schools and universities to gradually eliminate all thought and speech that does not conform to their own approved ideas, and have largely succeeded in this aim. (In New Zealand anyway)

A big part of this plan is the cultural separation of children from parents. For example, Helen Clark was raised on a farm, but after attending university, developed political ideas that created a lasting rift between her and her parents.

Today, there are massive cultural differences between most parents and their children, and even greater cultural gaps between grandparents and grand kids. All by design, and mostly as a result of an education system that has largely usurped the role of parents.

The left want a new society, and there is no place for the graces and customs of the people who built western society and made it the great cultural success it once was.

Yes. At this point, any use of any kind of personal, demographic, or cultural aggregate is a surrender to communism.

Once you start measuring things by group, you'll want to fix them by group - and that is communism.
