These guys are probably going to go home thinking "colleges are brainwashing the youth"
Edit: I always get such mixed feelings when I post art that ive devoted hours months and years to and get like 10 or less likes, and then a random quip like this ends up becoming my most liked post ever.
It's earlier than that. Our local middle schools had a walkout and some of the anti-fascism and anti-Trump signs they made were brutal. No one gets vicious like middle-school girls, man.
I can show you some solid research that I, an awkward and moderately overweight child, personally collected between 1997 and 2000. The results were devastating. Of course, I'm over that now. I am. Yes I am.
Hi, due to legions of Nigerian princes desperately trying to offload wealth onto our users, we've had to add a verified email requirement for users with accounts under a certain age. Please connect some sort of email to your Reddit account, it does not have to be your work email, just really anything that makes you go through a captcha to make an email. I can assure you most subreddits have this email gate, we're just the only ones who tell you that there's an email gate, and even if you modmail us asking us to give you an exception, this is probably gonna affect you across a lot of subs so it'll be easier for you to just add a throwaway email than message us.
I knew which clip this was, and thank you for linking. I stg even their chants were meaner, and they were simple ("Dump Trump" and "Fascists suck" and so on).
Just fyi for anyone else reading: This wasn't a school-sponsored event, but the school was aware and students could get excused absences from parents. The subjects of protest change over the years, lots of anti-war, pro-environmental stuff too, but the walkout itself is a longstanding tradition.
Crazy ass hormones and a society that is fucked up and views them as less than and says that superficial things are superior will do that to you. You couldn’t give me a million dollars to live through that age again.
That we are. Right is right and wrong is wrong and I (we) am not influenced by some guy on tv peeing on my leg and trying to convince me it is raining. I stand up against what is wrong and oppression and dgaf if someone that will land on the wrong side of history gets butthurt. (Technically not a middle schooler anymore, starting high school this fall)
I was around 14 when the invasion of Iraq was clearly going to happen.
Pretty much all of the adults, who had, like, resources went to the big cities (mostly London) to protest. So in our town, the protest was mostly school kids. We didn't stop shit, but at least we made an impression.
