50% of the world's population is under 25. That, right there, gives me hope.

[KonigXGH]

Thanks for these videos GENERATION WAKING UP!!! Truly moving and empowering. Let's do it, TOGETHER.

An internet based society has one undeniable flaw. The internet can (and has been in times of crisis: Egypt for one.) shut down.

Everyone can see that there are problems and there will always be problems. Especially in the current economic times. But just because you protest does not mean you are doing anything and just because you say "There is a problem." does not fix it. If you want to fix the "problems" then provide a detailed way to get it done.

I dunno man, this video actually doesn´t lift me up all that much. yes we have a huge responsibility to take on and there are people out there that want to make the change and maybe we even can with the technologies we have today. far too little people are taking to the streets though and in my personal environment far too little people really dare to take the step beyond the current paradigms. either way, lets get connected stay connected and create real solidarity together. its our only chance

[Tatenda Songore]

There is hope and amazing life in the young generation... no limits to innovation and a brave new world of inspired hope for a bigger better brighter future,,,

[Lovinight]

Only you have to really understand hat is going on, our current situation is no accident, it has been planned for a very long, long time, the only way to stop it is to confront it head on. Climate change is being caused by HAARP and Geo-engineering, the family is being destroyed, we are losing all of our traditional values but it is not natural, it has all been caused. ALAN WATT, lots of videos here on YT, not Alan Watts, ALAN Watt, he will give you the answers to what is going on!

@Pluf Tic The monetary system IS the problem no1, it is based on endlessy of reasources and room, everything is there enough for everyone, but money makes that some hundrets eat gold and millions drink dogpee out of puddles. money stopped the evolution and turning it slowly backwards.

[Wilson84KS]

Sounds beatiful and im always happy to see ppl like in the video, but the sad truth is: its the generation of personalityless followers, posers and ho's, proud slaves.
