5. It isnt forgetting. It's not caring or feeling a stake in it.
Most youth dont know the details of the issues and are more likely to take some type of "government is bullsh*t" view.

It doesn't matter.

Voting is meaningless.

All the politicians are the same.

The discussions are stupid.

The Other guys have the media and government controlled (i.e. lefties insist everything is controlled by the right-wing and conservatives insist everything is controlled by the left).

Etc.

In the end, many people do not perceive themselves as PART of the government... having power in it or know much about it.
