They both assume that minorities and women need to be taken down a peg or two, on account of their unearned privilege. I can’t even maneuver myself into that headspace.
I’m speaking from experience when I tell you that kids are horrified by genocide. When adults brush it off as “complicated,” it reinforces the idea that adults are full of shit.
Kids are also horrified by climate change, though this one is usually a little less front and center.
During the onset of Covid, and through the first few years of the pandemic, kids were horrified that adults took a simple thing (“try to avoid getting people sick”) and complicated it with their bullshit.
Adults don’t know what they’re doing and they’re full of shit most of the time. The main tell for that is “it’s complicated.” Kids know.
As they become adults, kids are operating under the correct assumption that we’re all doomed unless something drastically changes, and they have no idea how to participate in a doomed society.
They say it’s “deeply concerning” that the leaks happened. Isn’t genocide something they consider concerning? Like maybe Biden should leave the leaker an angry voicemail. That should cover “deeply concerning.”
It’s historically bad every election. Instead of “most important election of our lifetime,” they should be selling “the last opportunity to vote for someone this good.” Because we know it will get worse.
It was 75 years into the genocide.
