Nous Sommes Des Rebelles, Donc Nous Sommes!

However meticulous and ingenious the attempt of the kakistocrats to create a society of yea-saying acolytes is, as of now, in the Post-Fukuyamaist world, I'm pretty confident that they will never succeed in their attempts to institutionalize the youth for the youth of the 21st isn't a pet animal that could be domesticated or bestialized at will. My generation, a generation that was, is and will be condemned to give up its youth is adamantly antithetical to power - any inconsiderate attempt to centralize and confiscate the free will of my young generation, fails incessantly as it has been failing for aeons.

Per se, my quick-tempered yet questioning generation has been subject to extreme prejudice from school curricula to ways of spending their leisure time to their choice of political narratives to their religious preference, and very recently their sexual orientation. But that didn't stop them from pursuing their rebel existential quests. They rebel, therefore they are. They rebel in search of a better world to live in, a world without sado-masochistic gerontocrats. They rebel because they've been denied the recognition they deserve, the recognition that they are young on account and they are literally treated as and made into the beasts of burden, on the other. They are the ones to do, what anthropologists such as David Graeber label 3D (Dirty, Dull, & Dangerous) jobs, from organized theft to assassinations, from terrorist plots to carnage-laden coups. They sweep the floor so that the old boys could walk on the spotless red carpet somewhere in the corner of the globe as a sign of false public gesture.

So I say, rise and rise again till lambs become lions, till wolves make peace with lions, till lions become much more intelligent instead of abysmal brutes with viscera only for the somatic. And by this, I mean keep on resuscitating the spirit of youth (the sort of spirit we are constantly despised for by the de-youthed, the age bracket with relentless power, either to create or to destroy or to maintain the addictive predicament that runs by the name, status quo. Plus, it is obvious that we, as a hypercreative generation, are incline towards a cosmopolitan thought than tribalist genocides that everyone is familiar with from history.

If claiming a basic life condition of living as a human being, as a species that deserves to be treated as a valuable asset instead a what Guy Standing calls the precariat class, is a claim that gets my generation to be treated as "guilty as charged", so be it.
