My grandfather (an actual nazi, who fought in the Wehrmacht on the eastern front) complained about us young people not wanting to go hunt with him (which had more to do with the man than with hunting). He complained about how his generation was strong men and how me and my small brother are corrupted by television and anything with a screen on it. His greatest fear was us becoming "verweichlicht" (literal translation: "softened"), being perceived as weak was one of the worst things for him.

Yet he was the man that could never face what he did, never talk about what his real ideology was, he could never face how bad of a father and husband he was. In fact his eating disorders and his silence took 4 generations to heal. If only he could have faced his past and lived in the present, strong men — in my world — can do precisely that.

The point is that generational differences exist and very often a simple "the young people do it different" will become a "the young people are morally corrupted" — because the alternative would be to face your own weaknesses and demons or question how your society has done things up to this point.

Men being afraid to look weak (something that only bothers men that feel weak) is a huge driver of all kinds of problems, even today.
