I admire the hell out of these kids. If I had a little more strength in my own convictions, a little more willpower, I would probably go flip-phone only too.

Yes, they're kind of posturing and pretentious, but in ways that remind me of myself in high school; I feel like I get them. Your average high school kid is a lot more confusing to me these days.

I did have to laugh at this:

I wasn't sure what they meant by "industrious backgrounds"; apparently it means "wealthy" based on Guevara's wikipedia page. She's in good company, though... Ho Chi Minh and Lenin grew up privileged too.
