I was just at a conference today where one of the presenters referenced the "Trust barometer": https://www.edelman.com/trust/2025/trust-barometer

According to that study, 23% approved of the statement "I approve hostile activism to drive change by threatening or committing violence". It's even higher if you only focus on 18-34 year olds.

Is it possible that violence is just more rational for today's 18-34 y/o than it was at some other points in recent history?

They also might be least aware of the consequences as they've grown up during the least violent time in US and human history.

I think a lot of them have a very romantic view about revolutions and their place in them

Revolutions harm the poor and the disabled far more than they harm the able bodied and the privileged
