Worse is that everyone knows exactly what's happening but apparently don't care too much.
Painfully obvious when I went to a Palestine protest on monday.
We just had 400000 people for a pride parade this weekend, climate marches draws 10000's of youth.
Who was there for the Palestinians? About 150 people, avg age 50+.
OC these protests are unwanted by our western regimes.
No coverage in the press, no Palestine flag projected on buildings like they did with the rainbow flag.
School kids don't get an afternoon off so they can go to a protest, etc..
But even then, where are they?
There is little activism or initiative in todays conformist, propagandised and apathic youth.
Maybe they are molded by propaganda.
Can't be bothered to show up, unless they are primed and nudged only to act for causes acceptable to our governments.
A dystopian and depressing realisation.
I need a drink after that, the many terraces in the city center weren't far.
I could see them from the protest, just as the many many young people drinking there could see us.
Not even they had taken the effort to walk 20 seconds to show support.
