There's a lot of youthful cringe, but then there's stuff like this that gives me big hope for the future
I’m like 40. It’s hard to emphasize to younger people just how bleak the position of “the left” was when I was in high school. Michael Moore was the furthest left person in the public eye and he was regularly excoriated by everyone (which is why, even though he’s a lib I have a soft spot for him). The “best” position kids had at the time that I can remember was “hey, maybe gay people should have the same rights as everyone else”.
The worst of it was just how uninterested kids in my day were with the wider world. Apolitical was the default. No one gave a shit. Giving a shit got you branded as a weirdo. When I see videos like the those kids in SF chanting “from the river to the sea” and the other students cheering them on, I go full bloomer. The kids are definitely alright.
Yeah , I'm not surprised. If you're constantly online the way an 18-24 year old is, then for the past few months you've been exposed to thousands of images and videos of very relatable kids, teens and twenty somethings being put through unimaginable horror.
There's probably going to be some kind of crackdown on the internet soon. The US can't support a genocidal colonial project if the victims can livestream their suffering to the world.
As soon as Chinese firewall goes down due to them having cultural dominance, American firewall goes up the next day
