The entire governmental structures of Ukraine and the AFU are modeled precisely to appeal to the glossy whims of Gen-Z—those pamphlet-waving college-aged liberals, thrumming with the flighty juvenile excesses necessary to attach themselves to any fashionable cause populaire.
Contrast that with the soft-spoken, paternalistic demimonde of Putin’s siloviki, that stour-faced, seasoned crop of old-fashioned bellwhethers representing a wholly different, bygone age.

As the terminal mania continues to seize Ukraine, driving it beyond the pale of a ‘failed-state’ into something heretofore unseen, the opposing poles of jarring incongruity will likely only grow farther in contrast. Ukraine, and in particular the AFU, will increasingly become the playground of the dispossessed and dissolute, the washed-up and washed-out, the lost and mentally broken generation of spiritlessly wayward, seeking quick adventure, or perhaps—subconsciously—a way out from life.
And while Russia, perhaps at times fustily slow to pivot, appears pushed to the back-foot by the youthful fanaticism and ideal-driven urgency of the AFU, the Old World’s roots are slung deep, and its wisdom and strategic foresight is generational in scope. Its bark may be scarred, but the tree will stand long after the satyric howls of the ‘New World’ have faded away into the twilight.
