    The difference in attitudes from a decade ago is 180 degrees backwards. Young people and academics are where revolutions begin or end. Those people have been demoralized and pacified.

      You can still be part of the change.

      And also that is a gross overgeneralisation, it’s not like schools were full of revolutionaries a decade ago, and today I definitely feel like more people are ready to do something, especially since Trump took office.

      Just look at the success of Mamdani or the no Kings protests.
