    Ok, but I’ve also been saying that for aeons too. Longer than you’ve been drawing breath, if I may make, perchance, a bold assertion.

    None of my peers (at least the ones I choose to associate with) have every said anything to me like what you’re suggesting. Anyone who ever has is a taking head with an agenda as see thru as saran wrap.

    “The government has your best interests at heart!”

    I was 18 during the APEC protests. I came of age distrusting these lying, evil, craven mfers. It’s imprinted. No one’s ever gonna convince me or even a notable fraction of my peers of that one. Granted: context is king, I am Canadian, and geopolitics varies from place to place.

    I’m 100% behind the energy in your rage but focus it on the right demographic. It’s not when you were born. It’s what you’ve done since showing up.

    You’d be surprised at where your allies are.
