Yeah, we took them down. It was easy. It’s not that we’re tough. We’re not. It’s that they were weak. They were always weak. They were counting on nobody noticing. That worked for a surprisingly long time. But not against us.
We were a new generation and we didn’t know they were supposed to be strong. They always looked old and weak to us.
You probably first noticed us when the Parkland kids refused to keep quiet. They called bullshit. They knew bullshit when they heard it. All of us do. Instinctively.
First of all, these guys rule by fear. But we don’t know about fear yet. It’s not that we are brave. It’s that we are young and feel immortal. You were once like that, too. You just forgot.
There’s another thing. All those rationalizations for stupidity and cruelty — they don’t work on us. We know the adults are destroying the planet and are planning to be conveniently dead, leaving us a giant cinder of denuded crap to try to survive on. We know about ALL of your failures. And we’re not happy about it.
We know you glorify guns and greed and “free enterprise” and we know you make up imaginary enemies. We know that you allegedly “powerful” adults have enthralled the other less powerful adults and crushed them body and soul.
