Summary of the people quoted in the article about “Gen Z” protests:
- 29-year-old business consultant
- 43-year-old physician
- 65-year-old real estate agent
They’re just trying to coopt the other successful revolutions by people who are actually protesting for generational change, not just “do Boomer politics for people of means”.
From an Al Jazeera reporter:
Monica Cruz, an AJ+ reporter in Mexico City, said it was likely that the opposition was behind the protests in the Mexican capital.
“We are having a hard time believing that this is an organic protest. Especially from young people. We don’t want to say that Gen Z is a monolith. There are young people in every side of the political spectrum,” she said.
“But there’s not a lot of young people out there on the streets and we are thinking that may be a reflection or a sign that this is not really coming from the young people. Because we’ve seen protests here in Mexico City against the genocide in Palestine, for example, and we’ve seen young people by the thousands marching in the streets.”
Because there were multiple generations in the march, everything they stood for is invalid, there’s no corruption, no increase in crime, the narcos’ control hasn’t grown exponentially, the rights of my people aren’t being removed, those who try to defend something aren’t being assassinated, the press who tries to do their job aren’t being censored and publicly ridiculed, the ecology isn’t being illegally destroyed… Thanks for parroting the propaganda that is being repeated over and over by the goverment. Because those numbers are exact and perfect, so easy to count and identity everyone who participated.
Will you also say that the granaderos don’t exist after they were used to brutalise the people who assisted?
