I keep hearing all this discourse about genz but no one can seem to decide if they're nazis or stalins second coming jfc what a load of bs
Reject ageist/generationalist discourse. It is not a helpful distinction and its harmfully divisive.
While age beackets are not monoliths, they do have similar experiences from their lives that shape their opinions. For Zoomers and younger Millennials, they grew up watching liberalism eat itself like a cancer so it's not surprising that they are more in favor of abolishing the system than Boomers who found their success from that system. It's the same reason that Poles and Russians who lived through the Nazi genocide of their homelands had such strong anti-fascist tendencies while a chunk who grew up after the fall of the Iron Curtain became Neo-Nazis.
People across all age groups are abandoning liberalism, but it is more stark in the younger generations because they do not yet have entrenched believe systems.
Yeah I always hated that stuff. To me it's as bad as generalising an entire gender.
The center cannot hold. They're falling off in different directions.
Do you think we can use this to our advantage?
“see zoomers? You’ve done EVERYTHING right! You voted republican! You parrot all the prejudices against the underclass like a good model citizen….and they STILL call you a communist anyway! Well why not be a commie if that makes them so happy?”
Yeah, Zoomers aren't idiots and capitalism is crashing hard so when there is nothing left to eat, they'll eat the rich. Communism isn't a dirty word anymore and people I know, both old and young, are warming up to left wing ideals that would have been unheard of before now. I really think the right is becoming more and more of a vocal minority that is purposefully amplified by algorithms. I'm not sure how true the narritive that GenZ is both extreme right and left is because the media used to say the same thing about us when the alt-right pipeline first started getting traction a decade ago.
Hell I think every generation is becoming more left now. Even some previously right-wing boomers I know have done a 180. Capitalism is increasingly losing its sparkle as people see its true face and the problems start hitting home.
The media is pushing right-wing narrative hard and I think that's on purpose because the ruling class knows people aren't buying it as easy anymore. They want to create the illusion that the the right is more popular than it is so that people don't realise just how unified we are against it.
After decades of double genocide Nazi propaganda the liberals think those are the same thing.
Well sweaty, horseshoe theory states that those things are actually the same. Maybe if you educated yourself you'd know that.
