The tricky part though is everyone will be part of that group unless they die young.

So reneging on the social contract with the old means reneging on the social contract with essentially everyone.

"Them" being destructive in response doesn't necessarily mean 85 year-olds burning things down, what it means is the 20, 30, and 40 year-olds seeing what's coming and burning things down.

Why cant the social contract be an honest and up front discussion?
