    Also I think young people often lack the life experiences to start thinking outside the dominant ideology. I remember being a teen and believing everything pop history told me about communism even if I had a very strong anti-establishment biais and already hated capitalism. It took meeting with maoists during uni to start questioning bourgeois myths

      This is true but a lot of people carry this way into even their late twenties. I see younger people getting abused in the workplace the most because they’re often naive, believe bosses who are stringing them along and don’t realise how much they’re getting fucked. They’re poor advocates for themselves who often believe just working hard is enough… To their own detriment.
