I recently met a boomer and I had the shills, hearing him in Paris in 1968 mounting barricades, feeling that he had an impact on the course of the entire political world, feeling that he was setting the direction while mounting theater plays and opening up girl’s dormitories (reference: What triggered Paris’ May 1968 is the girls being locked up at night in their universities).

Compared to today. Even the major majority of the population can’t do a thing about the force propaganda, and the ones who protest see a million AI-generated flame pieces in newspapers.

"I recently met a boomer and I had the shills, hearing him in Paris in 1968 mounting barricades, feeling that he had an impact on the course of the entire political world,"

I've never felt more politically empowered than during that time, it's been a steady slide downwards since. I now feel helpless and neutered. I just wish that time would return.
