The students of the sixties, of which I was one, realized that the structures
of American power directly threatened their lives -- Vietnam, southeast Asia
-- and therefore they had to confront those structures. The students of the
Parkland generation are realizing the same truth today, this time focused
domestically -- NRA, compliant and cowardly Congress (again) -- and so must
similarly confront the structures of power that are directly threatening their
lives. I am pleased for David Brooks that he never had to face such immediate
threats, but there is something about them that focuses the mind on structural
realities rather than polite dialogue about good guys and bad apples. So
quaint to think that way. I think a fellow named Karl Marx taught us all this
150+ years ago, no?
