Prior to COVID, it seems there were movements for protests against big oil et al on climate change but weren't they mainly participated by Gen Z or the very youngest of the Millennials? Obviously climate change should be the big one for us as Millennials are at the age now (average age 31) where they usually would be having kids - something that affects anyone's outlook on the future in a major way. I for some reason suspect we will prioritise domestic things over global things due to how we're so directly affected. Look at the guns and social system problems and you'll probably see that more people would want to fix those before we tackle climate change and a war in another part of the world. I expect climate change will take a backseat vs things like ensuring their child doesn't become the next school shooting victim and having a decent stable income.

Millennials got sucked into the great social media machine, and don't seem inclined to leave.  Not all, of course, but enough to make a change regime impossible -- exactly when one is most needed.  Maybe the threat of gun violence will finally break that hold.  I hope so for my grandchildren's sake.
