  Excuse me, GenX chiming in. We had that exact same list, with the sort-of-maybe exception of climate change (pollution was really really bad though). Then again , we had the daily doom of nuclear war on our heads.

  I’ve participated in in-person protests with various groups about a dozen times a year since 2020 and I don’t even live in a city. People are definitely out here protesting, we just don’t get any media coverage at all unless we break things.

  I guess this what I’m afraid of, but things must have felt pretty scary during the first cold war - Imagine raising children while governments were openly testing fusion weapons!

  I think that music is part of giving people inspiration and hope. Does tiktok just filter out the protest to keep us scrolling?
