Teach, your children well
or
The scouting tradition

Society is clearly complicit in the attitudes that some young people develop (ie. Greta)
From the wikipedia entry, Angela would have been fifteen at the time...

<<She attributes much of her political involvement to her involvement with the Girl Scouts of the United States of America. She also participated in the Girl Scouts 1959 national roundup in Colorado. As a Girl Scout, she marched and picketed to protest racial segregation in Birmingham.[14]>>

And the areas of activism in her life show a concern for all those who have been marginalized.
Her career is quite colourful, a true citizen of the world.
She is not Martin Luther King but her voice is just as important, the class wars have already started.

As the illionaires get iller those not ill will become much more numerous.
So I guess for most people the choice is which side they are on in the event of a class war.
The middle class is a "swing state" from an economic standpoint. My family got here by working long ago.
A lot more arrived in the state in the last nine months and they mostly arrived unwillingly.
So which side people feel they are on is certainly going to matter in a conflict.
I would imagine MacKenzie Scott thinks well of Angela Davis.
Philanthropy and social justice make great companions.
