Hi, I am from a country also undergoing protests right now, but a person very close to me is visiting the US. They joined the No Kings protest yesterday in NYC. And they told me there was no young people at all. The contrast with my country is kind of weird, young people mobilise all the time.
I’m ofc not pretending that yesterday’s NYC protest is an accurate characterisation of mobilisation in the entire country. But from photos I see it does seem a trend that the no kings mainly has middle aged and older people in it. I’m curious. Why?
check my most recent long comment if you would like a snapshot of what we’re going through.
speaking to the old people here:
your generation did a good job at creating good people, and now we have a different red line than you do. yours was hit a few years ago, ours was hit before that. it’s less about the 2004 leftist genius aesthetic now, and more and more about not being the reason ethnic groups are eliminated. you told us to practice what we preached and we listened to you because we love you
