    Internal monologue: “I’m scared of them because they are cooler than me, and maybe even smarter.”

    I would guess that it’s more because there are three people in the shot and they are all young women, and two of those young women look slightly different than the OP wants them to look (one has dyed hair and one has a scarf).

    Youth parliament, model UN, all those places, they have always been great places to meet smart girls. Just wish teenage me had just a little more game.

    If you replace “woke” with “human rights”, you understand what these people are talking about.

    These people hate basic human right.

        Literally these people think freedom of expression equals with buying Levis jeans and Adidas shoes, because they heard they were hard to come by in the Soviet Bloc.

        Free speech is just one humen right they hate. They also hate based on gender, color of the skin, being poor, religion and even basic decency

      Sheep are fine. You wouldn’t want to be one, but those who are, can serve a purpose. It’s the smeagels like this guy that are the problem.

        IDK, you could make a pretty good argument that we have way too many sheep nowadays. The “smeagels” are kind of useless without herds of sheep who follow them.

      i like saying that history doesn’t repeat, it rhymes…

      but bloody hell, this is literally the exact same thing we get every single generation

      “those young people, completely indecent, just look at the way they dress! their hair! the music they listen to! this technology they use! what will become of them. When i was young i was perfectly obedient and listened to my elders.” you could attritbute that sentence to any era of human history and you’ll be correct, literally all the way back to the beginning of written history this rings true

      Socrates complained about how the youths depend on paper and books too much. And since then little has changed but the exact thing the olds complain about

    What kind of absolute fucking loser forges their entire identity around not liking other people’s fashion choices?

    Dyed hair… ankh… fashion conscious business attire…

    I for one welcome our new Goth representation in government. We need more of this.

    Psych: “Ok so you’re here because *checks notes* digestive on twitter didn’t like the outfit you wore at the Youth parliament.”

    Girl: “Yes.”

    Psych: “Well that’s not an illness so…”

    Charlie Simp: “STOP RIGHT THERE, I SENT HER HERE SO YOU CAN FIX HER!”

    Psych: “Fix her?”

    Charlie Simp: “MAKE HER NORMAL!!!”

    Psych: “Normal how.”

    Simp: “Make her look and act like how I demand people do! You know, long hair, normal make up, normal fashion…”

    Psych: “So remove all individuality from her?”

    Great insights there from “Charlie Simp”

    Obviously in training to suck up to Farage and his ilk. Fortunately I’ve never heard of him before so he’s obviously not very good at it.
