The cultural tendency for people to "follow in their (ancestors') footsteps" is most definitely real, and is often materially encouraged and empowered through parental influence, wealth, social connections, and other forms of political power. It shouldn't be assumed of the descendants, but it should be noted when the pattern does emerge, and included in analyses of why and how shit happens.
Sure hope not. But I don't like to underestimate their willingness to (try to) shove things back into fucking bottles either, TBH. Like if Trump and Netanyahu kiss and make up or whatever.
