    I think the reason so many teenagers and young adults want to be some form of activist right now is because
    1) when you're at a young stage in your life where you're more vulnerable and lost in the world being part of something that's bigger than you might bring you some comfort guidance even community and I think that's very alluring to a lot of young people
    2) it's just become a part of youth culture to be active in some way cuz the amount of teens and young adults that have Marxist or communist in their bios who barely read theory is astounding.

      But I've also seen alot (majority) of young people who have read theory and are hella smart. Plus you don't necessarily need to read theory to understand the negative sides of capitalism. Alot of people are firsthand experiencing the result of capitalism around the world, which in turns makes us want to collectively do something about it

      I think this is a very dismissive view. Activism is one of the reasons Americans have had powerhouses like MLK and others who've fought for their view on justice. Activism has brought upon more legislation than just sitting there and paying taxes. Most of the laws that protect the average citizen in any state is mostly thanks to activism. To dismiss activism in its entirety as a teenage fad is SO weak. Just say you don't care enough to be part of it, you want someone else to fight the fight and benefit from it. That's fine.

      Hopefully people try to become worldly and read from a diverse set of news. It's ok to not be outraged or radicalized bc there's always the good and the bad.

      Just because something has some problems, it doesn't mean it needs to be replaced. Sure capitalism has issues but communism? I've never talked to anyone who lived through communism who enjoyed it; although if Stalin was still alive he may disagree...

    I think alot of young people think the MAIN problem of capitalism is; billionaires hoarding their wealth, not paying their tax, exploiting their workers, etc.. I don't think we care much about a person who worked hard and become rich. The main problem is there's no ethical way a person can become a billionaire without the exploitation of the working class

      I know it's late but the top 20% of earners in the US literally pay 90% of the total income tax. As far as hoarding their wealth, I haven't seen much of this either. You'd be hard pressed to find many on the Forbes list that haven't pledged to donate the bulk of their wealth before their death. I can agree with you that exploitation of workers could be an issue but it also isn't easy to fix, as there's always a balancing act between union power, bureaucracy, regulation and actually getting work done.

    It goes to show how lucky some kids has it these days. But i do think we are lacking in teaching kids that the world will never be perfect no matter how we tried you cannot force change cause it happen before and now look at the mess we are having. In order to change you can't be all up in people's faces take your time go slow. I do think the kids will not be as tough as their past generation when they get older cause they were fed to think the world is a nice place and it can be but we ruin it sometimes by forgetting we cannot survive if our home planet is in a mess. Then there's the reality part as well since these days every kid thinks in order to become something or be something you need numbers and yet those numbers the kids thinks its their friends and loyal subscribers. Like so many kids think they have so many friends but really they don't if they only see their fake friends online and not in real life as so many kids ask me to help them find real friends and its really messed up that kids actually has to ask now about it.
