We’re seeing increasing political activity from younger people because of mortality concerns — accurately-assessed ones. They are being killed in the immediate sense as in Parkland High, and are under the threat of demise due to climate change and nuclear war.
Being threatened with death has a way of sharpening the mind.
They’ve realized all too well that older people, mostly not being imperiled by future threats like global climate change and wars relating to that, are going to do absolutely nothing to help them. That, in fact, those over 40 or so are most likely to hoard all resources for themselves, kick them in the face while pulling up the ladder, and then tell them it’s their own fault they plummeted into the pit below.
Expect the culture wars to worsen as the stakes are now literally life and death. The younger generations know this and hardly anyone walks into a potentially-preventable death meekly.
