My generation, whatever that may be, is supposed to be more political again. Maybe it seems as if we have become more political because it has become easier again to make out an enemy. Nazis are back in the Reichstag. Donald Trump in the White House. Vladimir Putin, Erdogan. Of course we’re against it. But I think the majority of my generation is apolitical. Politics plays such a big part in youth culture that we forgot that Fuck Nazis-phone cases don’t help smashing a system that plays off the most vulnerable people against each other. Eating Fairtrade chocolate is better than eating non-Fairtrade chocolate but only a radical and determined fight for redistribution all over the world will make every product fair. Generations prior to ours still had utopias to hold onto. We have given up.
