Against a general state of apathy. Though, of course, I'm not overly bothered about it.
It's because it doesn't directly, explicitly affect them. I've linked part of the to protect and infect talk, and one of my facebook "friends" (Ive wanted to quit facebook for a while, but idk of a messenger my friends would bother using) said, and I'm quoting here: "Yeah, I skipped to the last two minutes. I suppose it's probably ignorant to jusy say I dont care, but.. Lol". I used to share police brutality stories with family, but my mother put a stop to that ("why are so cynical"), or she just doesn't read the stories i send her (articles about the LIBOR scandal, or why bank of america--which she uses--is horrid). I tried sending her an article about the latest NSA leaks that were relevant to her, but after a brief description she declined and said it was "too depressing." The only way any of this shit will change will be when it becomes a direct/explicit inconvenience.I feel ya on this one. Being a teenager that actually cares about sociopolitical issues is tremendously frustrating. There's some seriously messed up stuff going on in the world, and none of my peers seem to give a damn.
