I’ll be upfront and say that as a millennial, I was a shithead in my 20s. I never put my best foot forward and my work ethic was questionable at best, especially when I found the job to be bullshit. I think this is common for every generation growing up, so the amount of Gen Z hate I see constantly is staggering. Everywhere you look it is Gen Z being berated for not caring about work and how tech illiterate they are… But honestly I don’t really see that at least in the White Gen Z men. They seem fine and not anymore phone-addicted than Millennials and Gen X’ers, and if they did have a “lacking” work ethic, I don’t really blame them since they are still so young and living in a damn clown world and being constantly reminded of how much of a clown world they live in.
I don’t see a group of failures, I see a group that has been failed by whatever vestiges of a society we have left, and everybody seems to be more interested in keeping them down than bothering to lend a hand in any meaningful way.
Work ethic is a result of maturity and incentives. Clown world has taken a wrecking ball to both, especially when it comes to incentives for whites. The infantilization of younger generations (and I count millennials in that to a certain extent) essentially stunted their development and a lot of people don't move past being a mental teenager until beyond 30. I don't even think I need to explain the incentive aspect. When someone is stuck working a dead end job with no benefits or hope for the future because all the good jobs go to diversity applicants it's little wonder they only do the bare minimum. When hard work doesn't get rewarded you get less of it.
I can't fault anyone under 24 for being disaffected. Why should they give up the best years of their life being wagie tax cattle for an illegitimate occupation regime that hates their guts? Why should they be lied to that they have any hope of living the way their grandparents or great-grandparents did? There's more to life than consoom product and get excited for next product and they deserve the truth.
Plus they have the perfect window seat, seeing just how horribly things played out for a lot of millennials who did try to play the game.
Widely demoralized, and a huge swathe who are openly displaying just how much they've lost their fucking minds. Many who also had a heavy hand in making this giant clusterfuck as bad as it is. Especially successful millennials who got shortcuts and easy passes without having to do anything to earn it (usually on the left, due to ideological nepotism, DEI). College degrees being useless as hell too, they've realized that pretty fast.
They can clearly see that shit's beyond broken and that none of their elders are going to do a damned thing to fix it. They generally seem to be aware that communism is absolutely absurd and not a good solution either. But that leaves them with... very few options, except to not play the idiotic game until something actually changes.
