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?

They want someone to name the enemy, and the enemy they recognise is not the migrant or the welfare recipient. It’s the landlord, the bank, the supermarket duopoly.

This is why right-wing populism keeps bouncing off them.

Uhhh, the right kind of fascism works wonders in this economic environment. Trump ran on promising left wing policies and taking power away from the elites. Same as Obama. Yes we can! There was a slight misunderstanding of course lol. But it works every time.

I truly DO hope that the younger generations are somehow less stupid and more politically educated, but I doubt it. The plutocrats invested peanuts into creating content to shape the next generation and the ROI has been great so far.
