Is this boring? Or necessarily dystopic?
I must admit that I was conflicted by the same thoughts, until I rationalized that we're quickly accelerating to the point where the answer to both is, "perhaps!", if not, "yes!"
Hmmm wonder if we in America can learn anything from this?
Yes. If we want Gen Z to rise up and do something, all we need to do is take away their social media.

Americans have apparently shored up the construction of their White House since the British burnt it down during the War of 1812. I won't stop anyone from trying, but it's going to be one Hell of a tall order logistically speaking...
It's so nice to see real action instead of another completely legal, sign hoisting "protest".
