Not even just among young folks and not even just about voting, millennials and Gen Z I know are pretty much completely out of hope and giving up that the future can change. Willing to just quietly ride out the horrors into oblivion
Legit kinda surprised this hasnt happened more often, especially after Mr. Mangione ALLEGIDLY did the thing he’s accused of, I know there have been a few that were quickly covered up but not on the scale of the school shootings we’ve seen
I’ve been saying for over a decade that I can’t believe more healthcare companies haven’t been targeted in that fashion. A ton of people get murdered every year and a ton of people face potential death due to healthcare being prohibitively expensive. How is there not more people both willing to murder someone and angry at healthcare companies in one form or another? It seems like an inevitable outcome of the system we’ve built.
Jesus now that I’m thinking about it, Denzel Washington was in a movie about doing similar shit in like 2004, how has this not been the thing that took root in the minds of Americas young men.
I remember being a pretentious film minor and turning my nose up at it as heavy handed. Watched it again in like ‘11 I think. Actually a really good play on the heist movie with a real world point. And Denzel cooks like he always do
I watched some documentaries about Earth Liberation Front, and feel like something similar is coming. But instead of saving environment, it would be about saving privacy and democracy.
And it will end the same. Immediate recognition as domestic terrorists by the government and huge investigation to destroy the movement. Saving humanity is crime that has to be immediately stopped. And anything that supports corporations is sacred, even pedophilia.
Im kind of one of them. Makes my posts sound hippocritical… I just think a real change is a monumental task that won’t come from utilizing the system that exists. Like the problems go deep to the point it’s like the hard drive needs to be reformatted and a better OS installed.
I want to see community overpower marketing and pop marketed entertainment so that maybe people will get back to honest expression through arts and communion. It’s like we distilled the soul from everything and sold the sludge that was left to addicts. And that’s gone on so long I think many people have gone their whole existence without really touching what it really means to exist as a human being. It’s like people just chase the high because it’s not even possible to get the natural anymore …humanity has been removed from the equation.
And it goes deeper than that when you start to consider the reasoning for that being the case… And you start understanding how “the game” works and that the possibility of it being completely on purpose and by the control of the most wealthy psychopaths that own the world. It’s like they want people to be distracted away from authentic humanity. Its like we aren’t the farmers anymore, we are the cattle and the product and we get traded and sold by the people that own the nation, which are beyond politicians, the owners are the wealthy. Our “freedom” feels like the freedom chickens get with a mobile pen, the scenery can change but it’s still a cage.
It’s already game over… Tbh. We didn’t get here simply because of trump and Republicans. They just made it obvious by speeding up the gameplay.
young conservative voters dont vote that much as well as young dem voters, its all older voters than GEN-Z which still is the large bulk. there were articles about cons dint vote this time as well amongs the groups

All we need is for a handful of people to decide they’d rather shoot up a board meeting than a school. I don’t think that’s out of reach

I was actually thinking about that movie as I typed my last response haha. John Q, I believe. I remember it as a decent movie at least.

Because back then, no could fathom anything that fantastical taking place in reality
