Sobering analysis. Though the enormously impactful Worldwide Demonstration / Worldwide Rally for Freedom that started March 2021 of which I was / am a part, was FILLED with young / younger people grassroots organizing bi-monthly rallies with millions of people in the streets all around the world. London, Manchester, all through Australia, Toronto, BC, Canada long before the convoy, all through Germany, all through France, all through Argentina, South Africa, Brazil, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Finland, Japan ... hundreds of rallies every two months. The US had quite a few rallies organizing, but J6 had put a chill in the psyche resulting in much suspicion / fear of rallies ... (exactly the purpose of the staging of J6, imo). WWD US was also immediately targeted by a few chaos agents, one of whom worked for the aforementioned designated heroes. The media didn't cover WWD, of course, and the socials regularly deleted the evidence and cancelled accounts. Consequently, most of the sharing happened on Telegram.

That these millions of people weren't as visible as the designated heroes, many of whom I now realize were planted sheepdogs, doesn't mean they didn't / don't exist and that these awakening rallies weren't filled with young folks. I know the rallies had a huge impact energetically to shift the doom consciousness and ditch the buy-in to the agenda.

Yes, I attended worldwide demonstration‘s even organized a couple. My point was that the leaders and organizers are not young but in the grandparent category. Most of the organizers here were female with children and grandchildren

You omitted one of the biggest and most impactful yet misguided social movements with dubious outcomes and severe boomerang effects, the global anti-apartheid ("Unity in Diversity") movement in the 80's and 90's. Very few people were not on that bandwagon, but nobody wants to own the results 30 years later (global woke policies & pro-mass immigration + D.E.I. etc everywhere).

IMO the mass boomer involvement is a "catch up" for dropping the ball. Trump, picking up all their slack, including the simple concept of not having men in women's bathrooms, is their savior. "THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ALL OUR LIVES!" -many such cases.

The boomers can't recruit the younger generation because of the deep fissure between them. Neither generation really understands the other, for the reasons you put forth in the article. And, the patience is not really there because mortality.

Yea. Sobering.

Yeah we're old and mostly nationalistic conservatives. People tend to get more right wing as they age. I'm no virus no pandemic myself but I am getting more left wing by the trend I see in 'health freedom' towards 'family values' and the number of fusty old climate crisis deniers. It keeps me young.

Alright Jo, but you gotta admit - there's no REAL climate crisis (at this time) when you REALLY look into it:

I left a comment the other day elsewhere stating the opposite.

It was a post regarding the fact that cash is on its way out...

What I am seeing is that the boomers that built their homesteads with cash and wanted that healthy alternative lifestyle for themselves and their families, they bought the climate change agenda hook line and sinker and so they have willingly gone along with the steps following like taking every vaccine and being ok with the passports. Granted, they did growup in the "polio epidemic " era and so put their blind faith into what ever a doctor has in his needle. This is a canadian observation
