You mentioned that capitalism and democracy were "on the chopping block" and youth were turning to socialism and technocracy, partly due to the indoctrination going on at school and also a hopeless future as they perceive it. So they want to try something new.
Unfortunately that seems to be true and driven by the ones who stand to profit and want to control humanity in a digital prison. It's ironic and sad that a whole generation is being manipulated into curtailing their freedom and prosperity for... what? Something new?
As history starts to repeat itself and violence and chaos looms I remember my own rebellious days and the desperation and disillusionment I felt then. It took me a long time to come around and admit I was duped, used and discarded, on my own.. so I think I can understand where these young people are coming from in that sense.
I want to warn them, save them and offer some hope but the indoctrination is deep, the manipulation powerful and the stakes... very high.
The comparisons between Nepal, Mexico, and US youth movements highlight how demographic prssure manifests differently across contexts. What strikes me is how the frustration feels universal even when the mechanisms differ. The pattern you describe about youth opening the breech but not controlling what follows is particularly sobering. It's a reminder that demographic shifts create opportunities for change, but the direction isn't predetermined by those pushing for it.

It's true. I think we can all think back and relate. And also remember how hard it was to hear the truth from old people back then!
I guess we're the old people now.
Sure feels like it!!

That's the knife edge - danger meets opportunity.
