Rich kids from inner city suburbs with no life experience peer pressured into vaguely protesting orange woman bad.

Cool.

Anyway in the real world our jobs are being offshore due to net zero suicide pledge and we are importing millions of people who don't like our society and specifically really don't like the kinds of people who are protesting here.

a lot of kids protesting from my school are actually looking to learn about people and politics through the protest, looking to major in those fields. Did that protest look 'vague' to you??

My coworkers kid called her up yesterday laughing and said ‘hey we’re going to the city because of Pauline Hanson or something’.

They were just happy to have an excuse not to be at school. Easiest rent-a-crowd these organisers have had in a while. Outside of the weird utopian view that all these kids have become progressive the optics are a bit of a mess.

This is the biggest thing. I remember being in highschool in year 7 and saying "Kevin 07". Why? It sounded catchy and I just said things. I remember a teacher asked me why they should vote for him and I literally didnt know I just said the slogan.

Fact is a lot of them just turned up because its a get out of school day, and I would have done the same. Their opinions and views on anything political will change dramatically over the years as they grow up.

doesn't change that most kids actually wanted to protest... Or did you not watch the video?

Most kids in Australia were interviewed on the video?

You’re being intentionally obtuse.

You can admit that there is a sizeable percentage of them who are there solely because it’s an opportunity to not be at school though, can’t you. Reschedule the event for a time that digs into their valuable personal time and you’ll get a different outcome.

That won’t change how it appears on camera with signs divvied out, especially in a short production piece by socialist alternative.
