A crowd-sourced app that maps all of the homeless people and tent encampments in every neighborhood of your city. Like snapchat.

Adult supremacy is a real thing. While it is very prominent among American Baby Boomers, it can afflict people of any generation. I believe we as adults have a responsibility to guide and protect youth, not forcefully shape them into some predetermined mold.

Frankly it infuriates me when I see somebody of my age (early 30s) acting just like a damned Boomer and complaining about "kids these days", when those kids are just responding to pressures of a world that adults have forced upon them. The only kind of youth I truly dislike are the alt-right kind.

I cannot speak for any other country, but the US public school experience is designed to beat the kids down until they accept their place within the capitalist system by the time they're 18 years old. Any education that happens in those places is incidental. They're primarily meant for schooling, not education.

One of the reasons I critically root for the other side is that they have literally blown up redditors. At least somebody gets to live the dream.

Nah that's too hard. Let's all just worship some billionaire and when anything bad happens blame some other country. /sarcasm

Ruining a cute dog for the sake of imperialist war. The bastards.

Very true. They, liberals and western leftists, don't even properly understand the meaning of 90% of the words they use amongst themselves. This is why I don't bother engaging them on any sort of political level because it would require sitting them down for 10 years to properly educate them first. Take for instance the term "liberal". They seem to think that this word simply means you ride a bike and believe LGBT people deserve rights, instead of referring to privatization and social atomization. At that level, both of the mainstream political parties in the US are liberal, they just differ in the areas of certain social issues. It is entirely possible to be a socially-progressive anti-liberal, but to an American's ears if they hear me say I'm not liberal, they will immediately assume I like Tucker Carlson and the Koch brothers.

If you don't pick a side, then eventually a side will pick you.
