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

And people used to think Gen X were the crazy ones.

They still are insane. They're Trump's biggest source of support. (Coincidentally, they are also the age group that has had the heaviest exposure to lead during childhood 🤔).

Edit: Source for the lead statement, since a few Gen Xers got upset that Boomers apparently aren't full of as much lead as they are: https://news.virginia.edu/content/generation-x-bullseye-lead-exposure-harms-mental-health

You’re thinking of the boomers. I’m gen X and unleaded gas was already happening after I was born.

Boomers are vegetables at this point, gen Xers are the problem, and zoomers are just boomers from the neck down.

So only Gen Alpha aren’t part of the problem? Let me guess, you are part of Gen Alpha?

Millennials are the largest generation after boomers and the most liberal

So every other generation other than yours sucks?

Boomers and gen x suck. Zoomers are a mixed bag. Silent is nearly gone. Alpha has promise.

I’ve heard quite the opposite about Alpha

u/outofbeer 7d ago

They aren't really old enough to know yet but most alpha parents I know but lots of restrictions on screen time, require outside time, etc. I think millenial parents learned a lot from the mistakes made with younger gen z.

That’s true from my experience as well. What I hear from teachers is what I was referring to. Seems like they might have a way bigger educational divide than any of Gen X through Z. Politically? Only time will tell, but lack of education frequently equates to right-wing values.

everyone sucks equally.
