If three or two years ago someone had said the issue that will unite large swathes of people around the world, that will have groups gathering and rallying weekly and daily in the name of freedom, liberation, and self-determination for the Palestinians for over a year and a half, and Israel would become a pariah, no one would have believed that person. They would have sent them to an emergency room to check for vitals if person had eaten something poisonous and hallucinogenic, hit their head, or having a stroke. It's been kind of amazing; average people have shown on such a large scale a moral compass that have exceeded their own nation states governing bodies, media, educational and art institutions, etc. The younger generation here, left-liberal-center-right are actually united in this, in the majority. So, this write off that American Generation Z are actually BAD, as they are authoritative nazi bois and submissive trad girls bringing social progress to a halt (and not blaming the actual old generations for their shitty voting patterns still) is kind of a misleading narrative, it's more complex. If you can find people on this issue no matter their political identity, there is something there inside connected to human and collective wellbeing. Can the dem consultants get on board with that? It's likely why the dems don't want to organize the youth and focus on the podcasts. It's a radicalizing issue away from the system and sowing more distrust, this is bigger than the post 9/11 response. But regardless of this issue that goes beyond any electoral politics that it's penetrated such a deeply divided political culture everywhere besides the origins of the ethnostate empire, is nothing to overlook at all. Masses yearn for wokeness (aka social consciousness) and connection to one another, now it's a mess the hows and why's and can it work?, but something real is there. The numbers and statistics for support as well as people in the street, donations, think pieces, bodies on campuses that let themselves be targeted over and over, protesters arrested, people fired, people fired at and attacked, people on a small boat that was droned at twice the month before, and people cheer and rally and demand a world away...I mean who would have foreseen all of this?
