You believe that challenging the existing power structures and institutions will lead to a more equitable and just society.
The term "Anti-Establishment" refers to a political ideology that opposes the existing social, political, and economic systems or structures. It is often associated with movements that challenge the status quo and seek to bring about radical changes in society. This ideology is not confined to a specific political spectrum; it can be found on both the left and the right, depending on the context and the nature of the establishment being opposed.
The history of the Anti-Establishment ideology is as diverse as the movements it has inspired. It has its roots in various historic…

How do you determine whether a figure labeled as 'anti-establishment' is standing for genuine improvement or personal gain?
@9LHRRZ42mos2MO
Anyone who calls themselves this label is usually in it for themselves. This term shows a lack of understanding of the complexities of government and its bureaucracy. It's a term used to fool voters
@9LJLN352mos2MO
While there are cases in which figures that are labeled as ‘anti-establishment’ are focused on personal gain, the United States has a growing problem with career politicians holding offices that they have shown they are unfit for. We can see an example of this with Pete Buttigieg as transportation secretary. We were able to truly see Buttigieg’s incompetency with his mishandling of the East Palestine catastrophe, in which people’s health issues were not taken seriously and the companies responsible for their trains derailing were let off far to easy. But this is only one example of the many bureaucrats who hold a public office in this country that they are simply unfit for.
@9LHS3NJRepublican2mos2MO
If they promise too much in their campaign, almost too much to be true. idk I don't know what this means.
@9LHRXMP2mos2MO
Truly depends, the motives of an anti-establishment figure depends on his loyalty to his original voter base (people dissatisfied with the ruling system) and also his ability to reach valuable and pragmatic compromises such that he isn’t simply creating a populist frenzy against the ruling class.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Is there a certain point where upholding the status quo might protect us from chaos, or is change always necessary?
@9LGJCH82mos2MO
Change is always necessary, but best to be done in the least violent way possible.
@9LH4BYK2mos2MO
I think change is important but its better if it can be done without hurting people and that violent force should only ever be used if change has to happen and wont happen any other way
@9LGJF6C2mos2MO
Change is always necessary, but best to be done in the least violent way possible.
@9LGHLPP2mos2MO
I don't think so cause chaos follows no matter what you do.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
If you could change one thing about the current education or political system, what would it be?
@9HGSPZ56mos6MO
I would change the voting system, the current voting system of first past the post has resulted in a two-party duopoly, two parties who became large tenets ranging from rational politicians to radical extrimists on both sides, thus creating a divide in the nation the only is to move to a more proportional system like in Germany, the idea of a coalition being necessary to form a government might seem unstable but in fact it is the only way to ensure the building block of every true democracy, comprise, the parties will be forced to work together to and the politicians will be more representative of people's opinions which will ensure voter satisfaction
@9HGSK2J6mos6MO
I would change the way children are taught about lgbt bs because they’re too young for that.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
In what ways can young voices be particularly powerful in challenging traditional views?
@9J58VPN 5mos5MO
I feel that people can express their opinions respectfully without being disrespectful.
@9J58NC6Women’s Equality5mos5MO
Provide a new perspective on how this can effect future generations
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How has a film, book, or public figure inspired you to think differently about authority?
@9HTMK4Y5mos5MO
Books such as "Stone Butch Blues" by Leslie Feinberg and "Giovanni's Room" by James Baldwin have provided compelling stories that challenge cultural norms and bring to light the experiences of individuals who identify as LGBTQ+. These narratives have motivated readers to question those in positions of power and promote inclusivity and acceptance.
I have read many books that have got me thinking differently about authority. They have many different views about specific authorities and that really expands my knowledge about the topic at hand.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Is there a time when challenging the establishment might do more harm than good?
@9HP3PFQIndependent6mos6MO
Im not very sure on that, but it could go wrong you never know???
@9HP3LWH6mos6MO
While challenging the establishment can sometimes lead to positive change, there can aslo be situations where it may do more harm than good, its important to consider the potential consequences and the impact it might have on various aspects of society.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
What’s a cause that you would protest for today and how would you make a difference?
@9J594C4Independent 5mos5MO
more of the government money should go to education since education right now is not doing very well within school security and staff.
@9J58X9N5mos5MO
Raising Minimum Wage , More Taxes on Rich, Nationalised Banks and Healthcare. Stricter Green Policies
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
When is it more effective to work within the system rather than against it?
@9J592PFIndependent5mos5MO
When it moves at a fast pace and meets certain requirements.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Have you or someone you know ever been discouraged from questioning authority, and how did you respond?
@9HP2N456mos6MO
School teaches kids to not question their "superiors"
I responded by thinking “if authority is never questioned, people in power will begin to abuse it because no one is willing to stop it.”
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
When should individuals stand up against a group decision they believe is wrong?
@9HP3JLL6mos6MO
When they side with the wrong parts of it and know it wrong but still sticking with it
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
What role do you think social media plays in supporting or suppressing anti-establishment views?
@9HP3JN56mos6MO
The social media could help in some way because people can give there feedback about how they feel about something and somebody could take edit from that.
@9HGXTD76mos6MO
Social media influences every favet of most peoples every day lives and therefore has the ability to influence politics in a negative way
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
When does rebellion against the establishment cross the line from necessary revolution to unjust anarchy?
@9H8PWJG7mos7MO
In my honest opinion, anti-establishment should be banned because you going to war with other countries, and in political theory, it depends on what revolution should have power based on it also depends on what revolution has political social and economic justice for the government.
@9H8PJPM7mos7MO
When rebellion is made solely for the purpose of changing a minor aspect of the law in favor of a minority, it is unjust. If a government is far leaning on either side and is unjustly taking advantage of its people and abusing them, then some kind of rebellion is needed.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
How would you define 'the establishment' in your own words, and do you see it as beneficial or harmful?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How do songs or movies that challenge authority resonate with you, and can you name one that impacted your views?
@9HP3H386mos6MO
sound of freedom made me question whos in control.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How does one stand firm in their beliefs in the face of opposition or ridicule?
