Gen Z protesters in India

Hey all you rebels out there,

the excitement in this week’s brainstorms is palpable:

the Cockroaches marched, Modi cracked down, but Gen Z is fighting back with fuckitall fervor.

“It hasn’t been feeling like democracy here for the past 10 or 15 years,” said Wishwas Srivastav.

“It took us long enough,” said Mina Ganesh, “but now that we’ve begun to speak up, there’s no stopping us.”

A dozen countries in the Global South have that pre-Occupy electricity right now! We sit around our office scratching our heads, wondering why the appetite in the Global North hasn’t caught up.

Why is that?

What will it take for that revolutionary spark to catch fire here in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia? What the fuck is up with us? What will it take to get Gen Z out the door?

Tell us: what would move you?

Meanwhile, Fox News finally kiboshed our Trojan-horse Trump ad. They’re refusing to sell us airtime . . . unbelievable! So we’re lawyering up to sue the shit out of them before the midterms. We need $10K pronto — please donate, buy a flag.

Kalle’s already got the next issue cooking. It’s going to be another Design Anarchy blockbuster, round three of our antidote to AI — the unprocessed aesthetic — and we want your dreams in it. Send us your best writing & visual memes.

That’s the view from our office this week. WBU?
