Depoliticization can make political challenge literally unthinkable for young people

Evidence

Many young people in Britain who take capitalist realism for granted don’t see much of a future for themselves, don’t see a very interesting future for themselves. At best they’ll be indebted in order to get a job that isn’t very exciting — that’s probably how they’re seeing things. And the idea that one can challenge this politically — I don’t think for many of them that it was available as a thought. Making it available again was what was encouraging about student militancy. — Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk, 2138
