and young people have always been naive.

Millennials can be annoying but many of us are also engaged and aware and talking about issues our parents didn't dare touch. It doesn't help that we grew up in an environment where we were taught to be antagonistic towards politics and government. Have you seen this image before?

Snarkoleptic shared it on here a while back: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028769002



How many millennials know about that concept of governance?

Some of my peers who are half aware are inhaling libertarian nonsense, others are completely deluded about politics and the point of participation. This is what many of us were born into, it takes a lot of effort to undo that level of brainwashing and conditioning.
