The age of ignorance is coming to an end.
The young people organise out of the blue with the aid of gadgets they grew up with, something the elderly still fall victim for but the young do manage very well.

Ethics was always a human guide line.
1.5 million organised themself, gave a damn on the knacker’s rules and moral and marched:

(later countings came to 2 millions)

Here in Cork 5,000 students came for the Friday march on the 15th of April, more or less pennyless(unsupported) and willing to face the consequences:

Only a few dozens of us eldery took part, most pushing a pram.
The next day on the 16th ( a school-free Saturday) the traditional Irish St.Patrick’s Parade was attracting a meager 3,000.Sponsored by school head masters,brewers and destillers, car sellers and banksters and computer giants, spy-ware manufactures and fake science spreaders:

Our politicians flew the day before to New York as usual to march in the St.Patrick’s parade “promoting Ireland” they say. ‘Flygskamte’ they never heard about ….

The next international big march will be on the 24th of May, two days before the European elections. On a Friday, on a school day:

Parents and grand parents,scientists and teachers and not to forget the determined Extinction Rebellion people (kudos!) are inspired by the students – a soul movement.
