Democracy is in pieces everywhere. A huge part of how this has happened has been the active move to strip civics education from young ppl. This is to keep them disengaged, but it creates generations of people ill-prepared to be active citizens.

Australian students just recorded the lowest civics scores since testing began. But young people do care about politics
In a new civics report, only 28% of Australian Year 10 students met the ‘proficient standard’ in 2024 compared to 38% in 2019.
