I do a lot of this kind of photography but I find it isn't popular when posted for critique, Stepping on the establishment toes? I like them.

No, probably not "popular", but does it matter?
The problem with this genre is this: it's been done to death; few people give a damn about the types that do the demonstrating, putting them instantly into the category of losers. Justly or otherwise doesn't matter: it is what it is.
But don't listen to moi: I haven't shot a shot in over a month. The muse has gone on holiday and didn't leave an address... I'd be perfectly willing to be unfaithful in her absence, but no other musette seems to be coming round - in any sense of the notion.

One thing that jumps out at you in pictures like these is that these are kids who know absolutely nothing about history or economics. Evidently we aren't teaching those things any longer. They're trying to go blindly into a night of real terror. If you don't believe that, learn some history.

Totally. At best they go to university and get fed and seduced by a lot of extra-curricular crap there, instead of getting to grips with the concept of earning a healthy living. Students have always been, and probably always will be the playthings of those cynics who try to catch 'em young and impressionable. Basically, they (the students) know that they can think, but not the differences between thoughts; very dangerous condition.
What's that saying - if you aren't a "socialist" in your twenties there's something wrong with you, and if you still are in your forties, it's terminal?
But it may all be changing: going by today's lot, the "conservative" wing (can't bear to give either of the swarms a capital letter) is just as phoney and self-serving as the other; that switch over Brexit has turned me right off the lot of 'em: not a person of principle to be seen, just career politicians hedging their bets, protecting their perks and their pensions. As citizens, we have been left abandoned.

History is engaging. How it's taught in most public schools is a sham.

We are, just the wrong one - five Lenin's statues in the USA:

Hah. People are very forgiving, particularly when a movement is in opposition to something they don't like much (say, capitalism)

Those who do not like working for B&H, shouldn't. Simple. I will, however, continue to do business with them, as they are doing an excellent job in terms of pricing, selection and customer service.

Great story telling!
