I'd like to believe this article. That there is some kind of movement occuring. But more likely people just get upset when they run out of money, and everyone is running out of money...
- yuvadam 15y agoHold on. You really should read up on the recent uprisings in Spain, Greece, Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, Israel, London and more recently, Wall Street. This is not about 'people running out of money'. This is about an entire generation coming to the understanding that current political dogma is absolutely against their future. Looking at this issue through the narrow perspective you describe is the same old-school thinking that misses the whole point.
- Volpe 15y agoWhat are they about then? Is there more democracy? No. Are there more freedoms? No. Is there less money? Yes. What's this movement about? People are losing jobs, the lower-socio economic groups are the first to feel this. Students are among them, and they are also the most 'active' (in activist sense), and thus we hear about it. If the world was flush with cash and countries were all in massive surplus, would we still have these protests? I don't think we would.
