>Is it because they feel as if they need to be special, or that they don't live exciting enough lives?
Most of the time, yes.

>>1577061
unironically.
People at a certain age bracket have the desire to do something big or belong to something.

yes, in fact, 99% of human achievement comes from people in their youth

I think it just stems from the need to socialise and not be lonely, I've never been part of any movements or anything but I can understand the feeling of wanting to be a part of something bigger than yourself, not many are content with being the odd one out.

Maybe they actually care for their futures, and the people around them unlike you people

That kinda makes sense. By not joining any movements you become a bit of an outcast as you don't really belong to any specific cause people are concerned about.

No, not really. They're just doing it to feel better about themselves.

I think it depends on the movement. If it's something flashy and in the current vogue then yeah it's probably for themselves. But the people who support underappreciated causes, or stuff that involves hard work, seem to really be into it for helping others.

The people who give up high paying corporate jobs to work for less for decades on something they believe in are always the most incredible. I sometimes wish I had that kind of resolve.

Most groups of people don't really care about humanity as a whole, or they don't really know how to reserve themselves and take a look at the bigger picture while intelligently sectioning things by what needs to be done first to actually make a lasting difference. People are dumb creatures who are too quick to dislike what shouldn't be disliked, and too quick to like what should not be liked. Surface value does not tell all of the truth.

I dislike movements but I have a very deep dislike of authority. I don't know why.

Why? Are you a leader-type person?

because their lives are meaningless and they hate it. not that mine is any better but instead of taking part in tribal bullshit i just distract myself from everything.

Thats just teen . I saw a teen take a shit in a Japanese Mcdonalds urinal once. I flew out to Atlanta on someone elses dime even though in the end I regretted it (and how to pay back the flight cost with an item twice its value).
>Join Movements
If you are an intellectual of any degree, or a self-serving idiot in a democratic society, you may feel that things aren't going in the direction they should, and you would like to participate in an active dialectic of two parties which are comprised of hundreds, thousands, or millions of people. Being passionless and neglectful about your society, even when given a small piece of the greatest power it can afford, is a terrible sin.

most people dont achieve until their middleaged men with a thousand failures. you watch too much hollywood.

it's useless to talk with somebody who says that. it's some 17 year old without the slightest awareness of reality. they say stuff like high school is the best part of your life and other subhuman garbage. ignore them.
