If we are critical enough, which most adults should be

It is the "which most adults should be" part of the statement that is an issue. There is a difference between 'should and 'are'.

The "economic war", "the empire", "the fascist of the right", "the terrorist university students"; while they are the "revolution of love and peace."

Words iterated by leaders the world over adjusted to suit their audience. It is like a script.

I agree. Both things are frustrating: the idiocy of most adults and the endless iteration of populist scripts, which is in a way the result of having an audience who does not question the veracity of the information politicians spread.
Thoreau wrote in Civil Disobedience

Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step toward obtaining it.

I couldn't agree more.
