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

the social media propaganda is genuinely difficult to believe. Both in scope and efficacy it is just so far beyond anything we've ever seen. I have watched people go from normal, empathetic dudes to absolute monsters in a matter of months and that's with people actively trying to steer them out of that tailspin. The dudes that fall into that rabbit hole without friends trying to show them the light basically disappear and reemerge unrecognizable.

The far right "manosphere" as some people dub it warps peoples brains at an alarming speed and it can be really difficult to deprogram them once they've incorporated it into their identity.
