Not a psychologist, teacher, or, for that matter university student.

But I think this is happening because the facade of normal daily life during all this is starting to get too heavy to hold up.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

In about 20 years, there will be an entire generation of young people who were radicalized by growing up watching this.

The phrases "acab" and "fuck capitalism" will roll off their tongues with ease
Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.

There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

It's important to note that when he says "We won't have a country anymore" he's not talking about We the People. He's talking about white supremacists. And yeah, that's the idea buddy.
