I think Gen Z is more right-wing than millennials; at least the younger men.

Well they’re already a monarchy
Stop. It’s a class war, not a generation war.
Seriously. Fuck all this generational bullshit. Artificial divides cooked up by ad agencies. Such a waste of time and energy.
Nope, we must pit ourselves against each other while Musk and company point and laugh.
Once we all figure out that we outnumber them millions to one they will have a very bad day, but I do feel like if that ever happened a good number of us will stand on the side of tyranny.
yep - any day now
All they have to do is offer a certain small percentage of the population a job in “enforcement” with barely any benefits or pay.
That new law enforcement will then protect the system that lets them look down on “the poors/immigrants/[insert boogie man]” and admire their ultra wealthy generous “saviors.”
Fan in some hate, add some racism, a bit of bigotry. Baby, you got a stew going.
How much do ICE thugs make again?
This Gen Xer supports Gen Z.
Highlights the idiocy of dividing people up by generation, they just totally skipped Gen X, because there was no neat little stereotype they could come up with.
The stereotype is that everyone forgets about GenX
It has been said that for the outlying regions of the Roman Empire, the collapse only meant that when the unused bridge fell down, no one came to fix it. (Undoubtedly I have garbled it.)
It has also been said “We are a long way from Beijing”, which means the central government is a long way away and don’t know what we are doing and impact our lives little.
Some things will really suck. They will suck far more than I can imagine. We will still have local police and hospitals. Medical care will get worse. There may be less food in the non-agriculture states, but that will be fixed with trade or war.
Lots of people will die. Likely you and I will die.
Some states will link up to make their own countries. Canada may invite some states to join. Same with Mexico (New Mexico maybe…)
Very much a “things I do not control”.
Gen X: Not pictured
Haha, sounds about right. We’re the forgotten generation. But that’s okay.
Xennial here. I’m glad to stay out of this manufactured generational conflict drama.
I’ve been called boomer and merrily laugh in the face of the kids that think they are just as clever that I thought I was in their age.
Gen X probably just hopes they’re old or dead before it gets really bad
This one does.
I mean, it is really bad… Gen X has the opportunity to do something really funny all at once…
Also Lost Generation.
We dont care.
Whatever
You cared enough to comment, apparently
oh yeah holmes I really care … NOT
Ok boomer
Gen x is not a boomer you dippydumb dipshit.
Ok boomer
Because a lot are MAGA pretending everything is just fine.
I hate how true this seems.
I’m being downvoted, but a big chunk of MAGA are gen X.
Gen X is definitely a mixed bag
Sorry, Gen-Z will in all likelihood be as passive and innert to revolt of political actions as previous generations have been.
Plus there’s so much more tech they’re going to be subject to.
I’m Gen Z, but if we are as radicalized as we are, just imagine what gen alpha will be.
They said the same thing about millennials. But look how many gen Z men went to the right.
I’m not saying you don’t have more radical views, but please do something with them.
I did not say left, I said radicalized. That includes fascists as well.
Completely agree with the sentiment, but fascists aren’t radicals. They’re extremists. Radicals want to alter something at it’s root. Extremists want to pick a thing about society and take it to it’s extreme. Radicals want a revolution, to change society into something new. Fascists want to take capitalism and and authority, two aspects of our current society, and make them the only thing going.
By and large, they’re winning that race
I’m sorry, but you are wrong. Everything about fascists is radical.
They do tend to, and in this case are, extremist.
Radical politics seek extreme societal change, from the root, if you like. Fascism does this through authoritarian control, to name one example.
Good job on neatly describing extremism and radical politics though.
Radically centrist because they will be fucking fed up with all this fake meme bullshit.
You’ll also have to take into account that parents are waking up to the dangers of social media et al, so one possible future is that kids will be less poisoned by it. It’s already happening in some places, children are being forbidden to use phones at school, some countries are outright banning social media from children, etc. etc.
Hmm, radicalization doesn’t come through social media. Sure, it makes the process faster, but when you get fucked over, you don’t really care about your phone telling you you’re getting fucked over. Kids also have an incredible word of mouth. At least where I live the radicalized divide has been pretty strong with 35% voting for the most left/right wing party available to them.
So get outta here with your radicalized centrist crap.
As a millennial I might live in my parents basement and eat avocado toast but I’m still ready to throw some molotovs
Keeping your empty liquor bottles after drinking it all is free.
I might be able to supply you with empty bottles.
And gen-alpha will be surfing the tidal waves
I’ve read somewhere that sugar burns like a bitch and stay stuck everywhere.
…Just a random fact.
In this one video game I play, they said that you don’t want to stuff the cloth into the mouth of the bottle, but rather seal the bottle and tie the cloth around the neck so the fuel doesn’t ignite midair.
I heard that if you mix styrofoam into gasoline it becomes very viscous and sticky. It adheres to everything.
That’s basically napalm.
Lol is the anarchist cook book still kicking around?
Let’s stop here. Shall we 🤣
What dude, I just like video games
Oh, they do too.
I mean I wish and hope so. I’m tired of everyone complaining online instead of making the streets run red.
And genx?
They don’t care and we don’t care about them
Are those the ones who made skbidi or whatever that thing was popular? then they can fuck right off. There’s no hope left for them.
I had to look that up which is probably the entire reason you posted. Far worse than a Rick roll. I’ll never get that image out of my head.
Per the wiki, it’s Gen Alpha that loves it.
No, GenX is the reason scifi is such a thing now. Raised on the original Star Wars and Star Trek, starved for more, now producing more.
Skibidi Toilet was created by someone born in 1997, which is Gen Z.
Gen Xers are the older end of the workforce. Some might be lucky enough to be able to retire, but they’re not as well off as the Boomers.

“Gen Xers are the older end of the workforce. Some might be lucky enough to be able to retire, but they’re not as well off as the Boomers.”
Born in 71 from older parents who had raised my boomer siblings, once I became an adult I found out the world was not what I was prepared for. Long story short, I was able to start putting away for retirement 3 years ago. So yeah, I’ll hopefully have some money for an emergency, but not counting on actually getting to retire till my 70’s, health permitting.
TIL I’m the “older end of the workforce.” Who knew?
You would if you’d have paid attention somewhere in the last 30 years
Well there are plenty of exceptions that might mean certain Gen Xers aren’t in the workforce (pervasive mental illness in my case), but the cut-off was 1980 - 45 long years ago - so we’re all middle-aged now.
Sure, the oldest end is still boomers, but I don’t think my statement was completely inaccurate.
I am not 46 years old, how dare you!
Ok boomer
They literally are not a boomer.
Gen Z resembles Steven Universe.
