gen Z is not a uniquely reactionary generation nor is it a uniquely revolutionary generation

Very concise summary of this phenomenon.

And anyone who can read the news has a dim awareness that the younger you are, the shittier things are going to be in general for the rest of your life. Material conditions matter

As I commented elsewhere in this thread; they also followed us onto the corpo platforms, all of which had algorithmically curated nazification pipelines.

Incorrect, houses can move during extreme weather conditions

I think boomers were real, that was something that happened with a clear cause and a huge bubble worked its way through the age distribution like a big rat through a snake. Every other "generation" is just arbitrary intervals.

I was born on the cusp of the Millennials and Zoomer Gen and was called both. It's dumb and pointless

That's true and simultaneously not true

Boomers definitely are a real phenomenon, the mass global lead poisoning of hundreds of millions of people is no joke

It just tells us that the only gen z motivated to vote were the fascist ones 🤷 Wonder if the genocide has anything to do with that .

I didnt think even about the turnout. We are basically back to young people just not voting at all i guess.

Really ramping up in the early 2010s there was a deliberate program of Nazi propaganda pushed through the algorithmic curation systems of every single corpo platform our generation gave their social lives over to in the early 00s, the kids just followed us. If you told your friends to get on Facebook, and aren't a Nazi, youre just a Judas goat.

Luckily, I was and am too insufferable to have friends, and am thus blameless.

What do ben shapiro, mr beast, and joe rogan have in common?

It should be noted that many of the first Gen Z members graduated college during the Biden administration and experienced those first few years without debt.

If gen z men do sway 'Hitler youth' its because fucking Steve bannon google and Facebook fucking conspired to flood them with Nazi shit at a vulnerable time in their development, to deliberately create an algorithmic nazification pipeline, and everyone involved needs the kind of bodily experience that involves at least one thing from every aisle of home depot. And quickly, because they're still doing it.

This is not theoretical; researchers have done the 'fresh account' test, its repeatable, and Steve bannon explicitly talks about doing this on purpose with 'gamergate'. They are open about their conspiracy.

I'm a millennial who works IT in a building with A LOT of zoomer workers and I can tell you right now they (anecdotally) have zero idea how computers work lol.

Everything has been made so easy that they simply hit button and it works. I was crawling around on DOS as a kid and had to figure it out for even basic literacy. None required nowadays. I've had people unplug scanners from computers and then not understand that the USB connection wasn't for charging a wireless device. That it needs the cord to transmit data lol that's why you can't remove the cord from the scanner.

despite being younger gen Z is gonna run out of steam because every subsequent generation for the last 50ish years ages faster than the one that came before it

many of their left wingers are more radical than Occupy Wall Street (and even Bernie)

thats an understatement. i have told friends about the maoist reforms and been met with "when can we do that here lol". i can big up Stalin and say that billionaires/CEOs have it coming and get literally 0 pushback. talking to older people about the uhygur bullshit gets me accused of genocide denial or fake news and is always an uphill battle, but people my age take "well obviously the news is saying awful shit about china, its owned by ultrarich americans who have a vested interest in lying to you lmao" as a fairly obvious answer. i've only ever encountered pushback from one zoomer and it was requests for sources from a ex-right-voting centrist at work.

i know my sample is biased by not being in the us and being openly a communist, but i don't think the problem is that the zoomer left (or, imo, the vast majority of zoomers who aren't straight up fash) aren't amenable to socialism, its that we are MASSIVELY disillusioned. no one under 30 in the west has actually been helped by the political establishment. nothing has ever gotten better, and the current projections are that nothing ever will. we're not against the far left or whatever; we're just absolute and utter doomers

I have a theory Millennials have so much trauma of being accused of destroying everything that they started to do a lot of generational analysis.

Also, algorithmic nazification pipelines. Deliberate and intentional! Steve bannon needs real exemplary consequences.

As someone in a similar environment, you got to take these people you meet with a grain of salt. Theyre already self selected through college, colleges are something of a bubble.

Rizz is short for charisma

if anything gen z is lacking in rizz due to increasing social alienation. a lot of the emphasis on rizz stems from feelings of insecurity over not having social skills
