I was just having this thought the other night. I'm a leftist, I'm not that old, but I feel completely disconnected from people 10 years younger then me. I care about the environment, education, prison reform, ending American imperialism, getting 'god' out of the state, healthcare reform, the social safety net, closing the wealth gap, etc... but all the 'kids' seem to care about is the right to never be offended by anything ever, and the latest shit show of the police shooting a minority. On first point, I don't think I'll ever understand, on the second no matter what you say you can't get them to look past the individual issue and towards the bigger picture problems that caused it to happen in the first place. Politically I've felt like a man on an island for awhile now.
