Yup, though same with conservatism - as the idealized past never really existed, and is more false nostalgia/taking past marketing as real.

It’s why these things go in cycles IMO - and also why older folks are almost always conservative.

They really do need to plan long term or they are deeply screwed (sometimes even then), and have seen enough back and forth they really don’t (or flat out can’t afford) a lot of change.

And have figured out how to adapt to whatever prior set of rules there was, roughly, or already died or became irrelevant.
