The unprecedented indifference, bravado, dubious opulence, and disappointment by the political class is no longer a secret. Majority of young people have chosen protests and violence as a fallback plan to express their frustrations and vent. It is definitely not a reinvention of the wheel; many have walked that path before albeit with little success. The last genuine Gen Z protest happened on 25/06/2024 before it was hijacked by opportunists from the political class, tribalists, civil societies, paid activists and other categories of individuals with both selfish and nefarious machinations. The welcoming slogan was "anyone who is fighting Ruto is our friend, the enemy is one." We are a reflection of our leaders and that is why we seem to elect the same caliber of individuals every electioneering period. I refuse to believe that the people who torch and loot businesses are all hired goons. Take for example, if you study the images of the people who looted the county supermarket in Kagio town in Kirinyaga, they are mainly young people and they are in their hundreds. There is absolutely no way such a number of people were ferried from another region without residents noticing and there is no way they carried those loots from Kagio without residents seeing them. We inherently have a propensity to borrow items without permission and this is seen whenever we loot from passengers when road accidents happen, when petroleum tankers overturn, or when lorries carrying beer or sacks of maize overturn. It is not out of scarcity, but from our insatiable greed for more; we are subconsciously predisposed to follow the path of least resistance. You might not like President Ruto, it’s your constitutional right to do so. However, there are people who support him for reasons best known to them. Politics, throughout the world, is all about interest. The people who support President Ruto cannot come to the streets and confront or fight with those who don’t support him. It will merely precipitate a civil war. Only the IEBC is constitutionally mandated to conduct an election and determine which side has the majority. Remember that even in 2022, President Ruto won by 50.49%, meaning that almost half of the voters didn’t elect him. As we get resentful and livid about corruption, unemployment, healthcare and education, torching businesses and having our peers murdered will only leave more Kenyans jobless, more investors fleeing because of hostile business environment, and indelible scars in our conscience. You can shout TUTAM and MustGo at every opportunity, mobilize and persuade enough people to join in your ideology and bring change from the ward level all the way to the highest office; you have XX months. Anything else is a wild goose chase. XXXXXX engagements  **Related Topics** [vent](/topic/vent) [fallback](/topic/fallback) [Post Link](https://x.com/_fels1/status/1942584080203149665)
