It is always students that protest the most. Remember tiananmen square? Remember protests in Soviet Union satellite countries? Framing it as a millennials problem omits the actual pattern at work.
It is also not surprising. Who has the most incentive for long term sensibility in nation management? People that have many years left to live. On top of that students often live in ideological bubbles that are ripe with underutilized manpower.
- pas 7y agoMost of millennials are long out of school. The pattern seems to be more about had that particular age cohort (generation) already tried protesting? If no, they will try it. It usually doesn't succeed, they will then never try it again. Plus the students as you mentioned.
- H8crilA 7y agoInteresting idea - each cohort wants to protest at least once.
