@MeBigbrain @Terry Like the youth understand them so well? How many of us have anything worth dying to protect? We're poor dead-enders by default, of course we lack faith in the system: Its faults have been laid bare for us all along. It's not a great moral courage of ours to call the sky blue.

Boomers towards our end of the political spectrum, even when somewhat distant, are still more friend than enemy, and in the right conditions those fat old bastards will be the ones looking the other way as the young fighters "steal" their resources to be put to use. They have things we don't, in the future that gap will need to be bridged in order to get anything done, unless you think we're doing just great making our own businesses, supporting our own, and popping out 5 kids each?

In time, conditions will deteriorate to the point where they see that they need force to protect what they have, and then they're with us. Acting like we - the poorest, least networked generation ever made - can somehow pull off anything alone is a childish tantrum.
