You aren’t reading the initial post. It’s stating young people over the past five years have been beaten and arrested so young people aren’t out leading now. It seems to me young people are online in doom apathy loops, and it has been middle aged and older doing the work.

One of the organizing networks I collaborate w/ is v. large, & led by Palestinians & Muslims in their mid-20s to early-30s; the rest of us are mostly in that age range, w/ *very* few over 45 like me. Our partner orgs also skew young. Don’t generalize about the youth; they’re fierce & doing the work

Because you haven't been out in the streets and have no idea what you're talking about.

“Out on the streets”? Do I have such an outsized ego/mental illness to believe what I as one person see with my own eyes is reflective of everything happening across the country? What exactly is “been out in the streets” supposed to signify here?

In other words, you have no fucking clue what you’re talking about because you’re not working or interacting with the people you claim to understand. You always have the option to stay silent rather than showing your ass.

have you been physically protesting the fascist government? were you protesting our last government while they genocided Gaza? not really a difficult question

They can’t lead shit when Democrats send the cops after them instead of supporting and boosting them and helping their fight against fascism. Maybe try being on their side for a change.

have you been out in the streets much

guess not
