      Unfortunately, this is basically it. The cool zone cometh and we can't even get :william-van-spronsen:'s name right.

      We had some of the biggest protests in a long time. Remember occupy paved the way for BLM. We just didn't do enough, or couldn't with the media set up to spin anything they wanted.

        I think millenials had to contend with a significantly smarter and more hostile media, I dont think people at occupy were ready for how damaging that could be

        the boomers it is also worth noting had no real way to do anything and were often just flat out lied to. George Bush Sr for example campaigned and was elected on a platform of environmentalism.

        the elderly working class were not immoral or stupid they were just powerless

          From an electoral stand point. We are in the country the majority of the boomers voted for.

          Yes we could argue they where lied to. But most that voted where conference their whole life. The hippie movement was a minority movement and one that many more rich conservative boomers came from.

          This is the country and world that boomers voted into existence.

            that requires believing that america is a real democracy with an electoral process that allows the american people to actually effect policy

              What the govt wanted and boomers wants aligned pretty well for a while. Boomers are all embarrassed billionaires so they voted that way.

              Voting right now, really doesn't accomplish much of any thing, if you are on the left. Does a ton of cultural righties. But it's the only thing people are willing to do so 🤷.

              Get back at me when people are blowing politicans up and than we can talk about how the revolution will collapse into sect on sect war fare till we get tired by of bloodshed.
