People seem to find it comforting to believe that everyone under 30 is this close to seizing the means of production and declaring a socialist utopia, and they would have done it too if it wasn't for those darn Olds and their stupid conservatism, which is totally something young people just don't do
We're not in Finland, this is America, it's an entirely different country. You're talking about your own country and it's different with different people.
