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.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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
This is a feature not a bug.

Is that how France revolutionized?
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.
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.
I believe the youth would say: LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thank you for your great volume of high-quality posts.
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.
good
