This copy/paste is an eloquent way of showing how far the left has their head up their asses
```I don't want to pigeonhole a segment of youth population. My own experience in a privileged suburb that embraces some diversity, and also as a former teacher in urban Chicago with many active connections to former students leads me to conclude that the overwhelming use of personal communications technology has something to do with a lack of coherent culture and counter-culture at present. I think of it as a prolonged sea change in how people organize themselves.

XXXXXXX makes a good general point, however I am sadly in disagreement with the idea that there isn't still an overarching mainstream to counter. I don't know their experience, but I do mix among a variety of people with different class backgrounds. There are many working class white communities that continue to embrace a very traditional American culture. These people still think classic rock is as relevant as anything else for instance. It's a very stuck kind of crowd IMO. Many of the people I know from this background voted for Trump and it's not because they are overtly racist or unintelligent and I don't really know if they regret the decision. (Clearly I did not nor am I saying here that such a choice was wrong or right. I'm just using this as a current point of reference regarding a kind of cultural coherence.) I feel these people, among others, are holding on to a past ideal and are not comfortable with cultural change.

In some ways, comm tech has flattened the landscape. It's used everywhere in more or less the same kinds of ways - and very few of those ways actually open up the lines of communication between people of different backgrounds and beliefs. It could, but I don't see it so much.```

```Now, the older hippie-types (I consider myself between Boomer and GenX) all got a kick in the seat around the election and have started to really rally themselves using social media as a primary tool for coming together.

I think the potential for countering bits of culture is there. I think it is happening in small ways - and occasionally big ways (i.e. the NFL's current unity stance). I fear that younger generations - and I include the OP on the cusp of 'younger' if I may - have not forged identities that link them to a larger anti-authoritarian world-view. I also think that events will forge these communities as time goes by.

Unfortunately, in my view (which I will not defend in this thread), the largest threat to all of us is a global climate catastrophe that could be anywhere from 10 to 50 years away. We are not moving in sync to change our ways fast enough and this kind of threat could prevent a lot of more positive cultural changes as resources, both personal, national and international, become more and more focused on cleaning up the debris caused by weather disasters emblematic of this problem.

I hope we all live to see current and future generations find ways to battle injustice and inequality in the ways that stem from too much reliance on conventional 'wisdom' which is to basically wait until things get too bad before reacting with the will to make them better.```

My teacher said to me that i was a failure and i'll never amount to anything, i laughed at him ":whats so funny anon?", "well you see professor," the teacher prepares to laugh at my answer "i watch rick and morty". The class is shocked, they merely watch pleb shows like the big bang theory to feign intelligence, not grasping the humor. "how?" the proffessor says, "i cant undersand its humour.." "well you see" i say, "WUBBA LUIBBA DUB DUB" one lone student laughs in the back, and i turn to see who this fellow genius is,
