Failed by their governments and faced with an unlivable future, young people are fighting for their lives.

    Every new young generation grows to realize we’re getting fucked and hits the streets to protest. I wish we could skip a few steps and go for the eating the billionaires plan already. Otherwise it will just be another generation going through the same loop, realizing they’re fucked and protesting, and nothing changes.

      We need to establish community based systems of receiving food and securing shelter before anything like that happens. That shit takes time and most people have to sell that away to make sure they can eat and stay housed as it is

      If the younger generations came together and voted, they could change everything in a couple elections cycles.

      It’s just a numbers game.

        Except there is no good option to vote for on climate change. There are less bad then the other options options, but there ain’t no good radical change right now options.

          this is true, but, one direction leads to a democracy where future votes will count; the other direction leads to a chirsto-fascist kakistocracy that will destroy the ability of future generations of women and minorities to vote.

          In my opinion, that makes one of them ‘good enough for the hellscape I’m presented with’.

        We had a couple election cycles like 20 years ago. As important as damage control is, we’re never voting away corporate profits

    “Radicalizing” means doing things outside the norm in a way that people can’t expect. This all sounds very predictable. I’m glad for it, but the title is way wrong.

      What else am I gonna do, pay attention in class? I can only say that because I’ll have my Masters in like 2 weeks lol. I’ve got whatever you call senior-itis for graduate students.

      Edit: on a serious note, I don’t only do this in class lol, that was just today.
