I haven’t been, bless me father for I have sinned. It’s been forever since my last confession.

Good to hear there are still some activist oldies in the US. At protests over here in Europe it’s mostly younger people (mainly 25 and below). There are some boomers but not nearly as many as young people.

Interesting, I wonder what the difference is.

Maybe the topics attract more young people. We don’t have kings over here, I mean, we do, but not like the tangerine TACO. So the biggest protests here have been against the war in Gaza and global warming.

Hungary and Serbia did have some large protests against their governments, but I don’t know whether those had more old people.

Ah, that makes sense
