as someone who grew up during that era from the mid-60s to the mid-70s, my very best estimate of the primary reason the younger folks protest the way they do is simply because of the Glorification of the 2 “hippy” era’s” we as a country country muddled through.there was a certain “social magic” that permeated the Soul of so many and by the 70s these same people realized that “man, if you really want to change society...get involved in government Man”. fast forward and the young people feel like they “missed the boat” of heartfelt protest that has a soul. they long to feel the rush deep in their being that their parents and grandparents felt when making progress against “The Man”! just imagine what will happen when the current generation realizes that their parents and grandparent ARE now “The Man”?
Why wouldn’t they know that already?
