"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Millennials Harbor Distrust Towards Government, IOP Reports
“Young adults aged 18 to 29, also known as the millennial generation, have an increased distrust in every political institution except the military, according to a biannual Institute of Politics report released Tuesday...47 percent said they felt that the political system is no longer capable of overcoming the challenges the nation faces.” This is one of the many wonderful things happening, the awakening. With all the heinous things – the endless wars, the corruption, the crimes, the spying, the constant attempts to strip away and deny rights, etc. – it can be all too easy not to see all the wonderful, powerful, great things going on. And, it's not just idle distrust. It has helped fuel the growth on side economies and systems that operate outside of government regulation and hassle.
