^ you underestimate the circumstances of the current generation of protesters. They have been trashed on the economic scrap pile since entering the workforce, not had jobs having a pick of vocations like the boomers.
Maybe I'm out of touch, but I really don't get this whine. Economic progress is so simple it is stupid. Create something of value that someone else is willing to pay you for. End of story.
I hear you, there is a spectrum of oppression, and I am not at all sure that any US citizen is truly oppressed and without opportunity.
That said, there does come a time when pulling oneself up by ones bootstraps involves burning the lords house and seizing his lands.
I get that. My issue was the with the assertion that the current generation of protesters have no opportunities in front of them.
