Also, literally who cares. This isn't politics. Zoomers and millenials are very left-wing and that hasn't changer significantly in recent years. This isn't happening at scales that are shifting the political landscape. Idk why there is an obsession with this shit.

In my personal experience, the hard-core aesthetic of like "fuck the cops, fuck the carnists, fuck the breeders" was enough of a substitute for the edgelord shit I'd been on that I could swap it out, fulfil my need to be an edgy little shot while staying in alignment with my actual values.
Lots of young men's values are not as coherent as yours. 24/7 propaganda and indoctrination is a part of the American experience for many. The military is involved with Marvel Movies because it's an effective tool, Joe Rogan is the dumb man's smart guy for a reason, etc. These sort of things are tools of capital (and fascism) to pull young men to them. Disrupting this in any way possible is a good idea because it's young men who typically do the (initial) violence in times of trouble.
Not suggesting we abandon anyone (stupidpol bs), or that we can successfully convert the Hitler youth proud boy.
