"i know all about politics.... trust me."

my inspiration behind this picture is our generation, and mainly the country i live in, Canada. i personally find that the young generation doesn't know much about politics, and if any do know a lot about it; they're a minority, a very poor percentage of the population. then some people only know about political news because they hear about it from their favorite celebrities. and sadly, i'd have to classify myself in the "politics? what is that?" category as well. of course i do know a few things, i'm not clueless, i read the papers whenever i take the subway, but i still feel like i know more about the politics of the U.S.A & other countries than my own country, mainly because even in our own papers the political news from other countries are more talked about than ours. and then i wonder, is ours just not as important? is it us being ignorant to our own country? is it the fact that our country works with governments rather than a president? and we're even often referred to as "america's hat" making us sound useless in every way. it sounds rather hilarious when you first hear it, but honestly, it's more depressing than anything.

and that is my point, if it made any sense, thank you for listening.

I don't know much about politics either, and it upsets me.
I'm in America.
Never heard the phrase "America's hat," but it does sound very offending.

I don't know anything about Canadian politics, but I always felt like if I were ever to leave this country, I'd go to Canada.

It gives many people from here the impression of being peaceful and better.

I feel the same way, whenever I talk to people my age (young people in the 20'ss) they have no idea who is running for Mayor for the municipal elections. We have so many universities in this city, yet all these students think that if they vote it won't matter-but it will! The politicians have seen that students aren't really interested so they don't put out the efforts to get students involved and to vote in the first place.

My history teacher (high school) told my class the exact same thing. Using the words of Machiavelli, my teacher calls us all the "Vulgar Many" because we are so ignorant about our own politics and economics.

I'll be sure to show him what you wrote so he knows that there are "Discerning Few" people in the younger generation.
