Welcome to Yung America! A new center for a new type of rebellion against the political establishment- not a rebellion of violence or anger but a rebellion of creativity and fun. Contrary to what you might hear on CNN, there is nothing wrong with expressing yourself through memes or jokes. In fact, having fun and being energized is essential to any movement that wishes to succeed. The United States of America, and much of the world has become polarized into “left” and “right” camps, and while the policy differences between the two sides are vast, the people that make up the two “sides” share much in common. Unfortunately, for us, each side, but particularly the left, has been overtaken by gatekeepers, in the media and political establishment, that largely push division and censorship.
Many liberal, progressive, and independent thinkers have had their voices silenced, and have been told that they must get in line with the priorities of an elite class of establishment thinkers and Twitter checkmarks who must know best. Any fun, or creative and independent thought tends to be mocked and looked down upon. Perhaps captivated by the Trump campaign of 2015-2016, many right-wing and alt-right groups such as 4Chan have already begun their rebellions against the establishment- and while many of them may advocate bigoted, harmful, and misguided policies, they are having plenty of fun doing so. And it’s exactly the opposite of what a lot of progressives, liberals, and people on the broad “left-wing” spectrum are doing- instead of having fun as they prepare to fight a much-needed peaceful political revolution, they spend time censoring one another, yelling about everything, and obsessively focusing on being morally correct to the tenth degree rather than letting people be people and doing what works best for them. As merely a casual observer of politics, and the current political landscape, I choose to not let this go on as it is any longer. I have gotten involved in volunteering for the Andrew Yang 2020 Presidential campaign, as well as the Paperboy Prince campaign for Congress in New York’s 7th District. But I am starting this webpage not only to promote these campaigns(which I will be doing plenty of) , but to create a movement that goes beyond merely the chaotic day-to-day news cycle of politics. I want to start a movement that allows people to express themselves creatively, truthfully, and allows us to have fun as much as possible. When racist trolls on 4Chan are claiming symbols as their own, making “edgy” memes, and controlling the conversation, we are losing, especially when corporate media gets it into our heads that we are not allowed to do the same. When the people who are having fun and being energized are Donald Trump’s supporters, and not liberals, progressives, libertarians and the like, we are losing. So yes, this website is ideological in the sense that the founders have a bias, just like anyone else, and in this case- my bias is Pro-Yang Gang, Pro-Paperboy, and anti-establishment, libertarian left/center-left. But this website is open to anyone, so long as you try to put humanity first. Yung America aims to be not just another hacky political blog, but something truly revolutionary. Or just a place to fuck around and have fun. Whatever works best, I guess. Without further ado, thanks for visiting, and let’s get this motherfucking money. It’s Our Time!
