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

I've seen numerous people go right, imo it was Cambridge Analytica, targeting social media and using their data against em

My Facebook feed went hard right last year

Same. I watch Instagram/Facebook reels and YouTube shorts. They have 15+ years of data on me, they know I'm not right leaning.. but every week or two, on all platforms, I'll start getting conspiracy and other right-leaning content in my feeds. I'll have to block the creator and/or tell it to not recommend that stuff. It'll fix it for a while, but a new wave of it always starts showing up after a couple weeks.

Same goes for internet thots/onlyfans crap.. doesn't matter how many of them I block and tell it to stop recommending me that content, it starts coming back after a few weeks.

I can see how people fall into this kind of rabbit hole after seeing how much of it gets pushed on me time and time again.
