Perhaps that's the case here in Oz where there are heavy doses of apathy, cynicism and lack of solidarity.

The western world is in economic distress, appears to be heading into a wide-ranging war and effing AI is taking over future jobs. All of these affect younger generations. You want to be on the side lines and be nihilistic?

Why don't we support these movements and spread the information instead?

    dude, i plan on being deceased within 2 to 5 years. I hate it as much as anyone, but I'm tired bro. If people really want change they're gonna have to do more than shout peacefully.

    (and I'm not suicidal, goddamnit. lucky for me, I have a terminal illness.)
