I belong to that much-maligned breed of people who have spent their whole lives protesting about various things. I have demonstrated – enthusiastically! – against road-building and fracking, against surveillance cameras and “anti-terrorist” laws, against arms fairs and drone factories, against privatisations and bankster bail-outs, against the City of London and the British ruling class, against NATO and its wars, against the G8, the G20 and the Bilderberg conference, against lockdowns, masks and vaccine passports.
'If I had been born into a world full of surveillance cameras, I don’t suppose I would ever have had the idea to protest against them.'
Great insight! Sort of sums up the I phone generations and there attention span. What do we want? ' faster internet' - You got any other concerns? ' err.. what DYM ( do you mean) ?'
Protesting would also be a bother... I would have to make a list of things to take because my google isn't very good at remembering.
Protest list- to take-
1. Phone.
2. A bottle of water with a pacifier top.
3. A Pop up safe space
4. Comfortable shoes
5. Mommy
These children are now reaching 40 years old and have the jobs that sane people avoid- that's right- government jobs.
But like you said, they weren't given the opportunity to think. Education was truly and totally hijacked by political correctness by then. I should feel pity, but I don't... You were born a dissident or you weren't. Every generation has its pitfalls. Mine was the peak decadence of capitalism, and wasn't that fun watching food fights and people burning boats at parties. Blah blah blah...
