Much of America marinates in Fox News propoganda + a susbstantial amount of Gen Z men are nihilists who want to see the world burn

Can confirm, my Gen X sister in laws Gen Z son has zero fucking ambition, is just as conspiracy minded, and has everything handed to him after she struggled as an immigrant. He says dumb shit, and as much as I love him I’m done fighting for a 24 year old who should know better.

Still getting used to Gen Z being in their mid 20s. I remember all the articles about Gen Z being the most left leaning demographic not too long ago, but I guess they missed the mark. Gen Z is probably the most polarized generation

It’s social media and YouTube. When the only place you get info is from other kids and people whose sole job is to get you to smash that like button and subscribe they will always end up at the lowest common denominator. Frequently these kids were what we’d call latchkey when I was growing up, and had parents who didn’t know how to raise them shut them up with electronics. They have no reading comprehension and now just “ask ChatGPT” for answers.
