Episode notes
Boomer Revival Fuels Street Protests
- Many No Kings protesters are older retirees with time, social reinforcement, and a revived 60s-style activism drive.
- Their participation is fueled by algorithms, peer validation, and a desire to relive youthful righteous protest.
Economics And Mental Health Reduce Youth Activism
- Younger people are less present at protests because economic stress, mental health struggles, and nihilism reduce civic participation.
- Retirement gives older generations leisure and motivation that younger adults currently lack.
Third-Wayism Lets Politics Fill The Pulpit
- Third-wayism in Christian circles avoids political engagement but allows secular social-justice theology to shape public life.
- The result is theological consequences in politics, making active civic defense of faith necessary.
