Your anger is being cashed out, by people who caused it.

Every chant. Every tear. Every young voice that breaks in the streets is sacred.
But let’s be real:
That pain is now a currency.
And there are powerful people trading in it.

Politicians who once ignored your cries are now amplifying them, for optics.
They’re selling solidarity like merch.
Performing empathy like it’s a campaign commercial.

Welcome to the rage economy, where your brokenness is someone else’s rebrand.

This blog will expose the hidden market behind this moment, and call Gen Z to see through the script.

🟦 Rage Is Trending-And They Know It

Politicians can smell opportunity in the air.
And right now, rage is trending.

Your grief is filling streets.
Your fury is shaking buildings.
But in boardrooms and back channels, they’re asking:
“How can I use this to gain power?”

📌 They didn’t show up when fees were rising.
📌 They stayed quiet when blood was spilling.
📌 But now, when the cameras are rolling, they’re here. Loud. Public. Emotional.

This is not love.
It’s leverage.

🟪 Solidarity Has Become a Stage

They’ve learned how to perform your pain.

Watch closely:

• They show up at protests with just the right pose.
• They cry on cue in interviews.
• They echo your demands, after checking what’s viral.

And once the dust settles?
They go back to their dinner tables with the very power structures you were fighting.

📸 What looks like solidarity is often just a brand refresh.

🟫 Clout Over Change

Some of these “allies” aren’t in it for justice.
They’re in it for followers, fame, and favor.

They’ll hijack your hashtags.
They’ll remix your slogans.
They’ll wear your resistance like fashion.

But don’t mistake clout-chasing for commitment.
Not everyone standing with you plans to stay when the smoke clears.

🟧 The Pain Industry Is Real

There’s an entire ecosystem feeding off your struggle:

• Media houses boost ratings on your trauma.
• Politicians build speeches off your tweets.
• Influencers go viral using your videos.
• And donors write checks to the loudest “activists” in the room.

📌 The economy of pain is thriving, because no one’s asking who’s profiting.

So ask:
Who benefits when I bleed?

🟨 Final Word- Reclaim Your Voice Before They Trademark It

This movement belongs to you.
To the ones who risked everything before it was popular.
To the ones who showed up without cameras.
To the ones who were here when it hurt.

So protect it.
Guard it.
Don’t let your pain be packaged and sold.

Let them know:
We see the game.
We know the hustle.
And we’re not buying it.

Gen Z isn’t here to be used, we’re here to disrupt.
