I believe the youth in many places of the world are turning against the paradigms of their elders. Just wanna have a nice place to live, man. Don’t care about Taiwan or Chinese Pride or trillions of dollars or mighty armies or covid lockdowns, just want a house, job and maybe family, and be able to think that’s a safe thing to try and do. Some people are making that harder than it needs to be though, not in just any one place, but lots of places. And it’s clearly because they’re following old patterns that no longer work as well as they used to.
So take a page from Ghandi. Sit there and wait. They can’t vote or anything in any way that matters, they can’t rebel against a massively powerful authoritarian state, they’d just die or be tortured into re-education. This soft protest is a viable strategy though, similar things have worked before in history.
We at least can vote and bitch and moan about our leadership without being abducted in the middle of the night, taken away and “re-educated”. But even with that democratic alternative, we had our own “Great Resignation”, or so we called it.
Oh wow! So the same inequality is likely gripping China is what I’m gleaning from this.
