May be phrasing it wrong, but I look at actions like Labor rights, Pride, Civil Rights, Black Panthers, etc. where actions of protesters felt much intense and made more of an impact in actually changing things vs now where there are protests but it feels like it constantly falls of deaf ears.

Have we just not hit that breaking point yet? Have we collectively been beat down so hard? Or have we forgotten how to truly fight for rights? Or… am I just completely off the mark and missing something else?

    “geriatrics reliving the past glory of the 60’s” ?

    I get that saying anything positive about boomers is pretty much against the rules of social media, but for fuck’s sake dude, you’re talking about people who are out there actually trying to do something for the world instead of thumb-typing nihilism into their phones. No respect at all?
