My kid doesn't particularly want to fight, but she's ok with guns and convinced anarchy will be good for the environment?! Idk, she's not dumb, but these kids have less stake in the institutions than MAGA retirees..

Does she mean "anarchy" or Anarchism, a stateless classless society based on voluntary associations?

Well if you are talking about purely helping the environment, at the cost of human societies, maybe that situation would be better for the earth overall lol

The fact they will never have the chance to enter the ownership class keeps manifesting in new and interesting ways in the media, at their jobs, in their schools, amongst their social circles. The decline in availability of material wealth destabilizes all.

Yall ever seen Daybreakers? It's kinda corny but it feels more relevant every day.

Haiti was a slave rebellion that provoked the fear and ire of generations of wealth.

Long after the rebellion, modern Haiti is a lawless nightmare, complete with natural disaster inflicted devastation and chronic foreign occupation.

I'll take the strict authorizatism of Japan or the brutal backwards theocracy of Florida over that kind of anarchy.

I think they probably meant some form of anarchisme
