True, I have a limited sample set (Vienna, Austria), but I have noticed a distinct disaffection with the status quo rising in my kids (teenagers) generation, and that gives me a little hope to be honest.

It helps that my kids were raised to treat culture as utterly arbitrary - and that they have gone to schools with Russian, Ukrainian, Iranian, American and British colleagues, too.

The melting pot is extremely useful in decomposing totalitarian-authoritarianism. The kids are sick of our shit.

Happy to take any hope you have at that point, thanks for sharing :)
