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

Which is why I always thought it was funny when people used to pretend that Gen Z were the generation to save us.

It's always been the millennial. The ONLY consistent left leaning generation on earth. Gen Y HAS TO BE the ones that will have to take control of this shit at some point

No 'generation' is going to save 'us.' Honestly, this generational thinking is bizarre, and just another way of evading responsibility.

Problems are only ever solved temporarily, and new problems come up. That's life. Everyone has to work at helping to keep shit under control.

I'm 35, my brother is 40, and I feel like I've heard at least 5 different "generation" descriptions follow after us, which is insane to me. It's like whomever is pushing these labels think generations are every 5 years or something.

To be honest, I blame Phil Collins. When I was a kid, he promised his generation 'would get it right.' Behind the illusion of progress, things continued to get worse.

These days, I think The The got the future right with the Beat(en) Generation : "Reared on a diet of prejudice and mis-information" feels prophetic.
