I found this such an interesting article. Gen Z is a pioneer generation, imv. I hope they lead us to a better society and future.

For those of you who are Gen Z, would you agree with the observations in the article?

The claim in the article was

Gen Z is the most socially progressive generation in Australian history.

This is not shown in data, which indicates that Millenials are more socially progressive than Gen Z.

The results also show 15- to 24-year-olds in 2023 were not only more conservative compared to older generations, but also compared to 15- to 24-year-olds in 2016.

From the SMH article I linked, which is in line with other polling. Kosmos interpretation of the data and represenation of Gen Z as more progressive than previous generations appears to be false based on polling data.

What you've quoted has literally no bearing on the fact that Gen Z are more socially conservative than previous generations.

They are separate data points. I'm not sure how to break this down further for you.

Go back to the derby bro. They'll appreciate the hoops you're jumping through there

I've just been quoting the shit you've been posting back at you it's not my fault you haven't got your story straight

It really helps if you actually understand what you’re quoting because you clearly don’t.

Go on, explain then

I already did, in a way that a functional adult can comprehend, but I don't teach special ed so I won't be humouring you further.
