Is the world going to be saved from authoritarians by the youth? First George Floyd protests

Last edited Sun Jun 21, 2020, 03:59 AM - Edit history (2)

that last a month. Now teens and KPOP fans trolled the ticket numbers for Trumps rally. Black youth would not stand for Trump's overt racism and tolerance of dangerous policing faced by poc. Other youth joined in. Maybe Trump playing footsie with Kim Jong Un did not go over well with young people in Korea. Their lives are all on the line in each case. Maybe the internet savy youth will save us all. Maybe they are more powerful than bots and Russians. And who can forget the Majory Stoneman Douglass kids on gun issues or Greta Thunberg. This is their time.

I thank your taking chances during this pandemic realizing that BLM was more important.

Greta to me was the most kick ass girl I never met. She’s amazing, and while Fox makes fun of of her, she has the clearest voice about our extinction.

I figure the left has never been wrong. It’s just a matter of how hard it’s been to get to a little bit to the left.
