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.
I agree. Except the broccoli haired ones. It looks retarded and they need to hear the truth.
But seriously, even if they did care less, I can't fault them. I can actively feel my self caring less with every passing day. The constant deluge of artificial controversy for controversy's sake would be bad enough but we get to watch our civilizations get undermined in real time. We look at headlines and videos and say, "wow public education sure hates White males." These kids live that for hours, 5 days a week. If anything, I'm impressed that Gen-Z has kept it together as well as they have, being the target of a non-stop demoralization campaign.
One other thing to toss into the conversation: religion. Belief in a better life after this one is kept/keeps a lot of people going through shit times. An otherwise unrewarded work ethic was became a rewarded one. But if a work ethic isn't seen as valuable by their peers, society doesn't reward it, and they don't have faith that it's virtuous, they're down to personal pride as a driving force and they'll try to beat that out of them too. Assuming they even picked up a sense of personal pride given the state of media and the absence of fathers.
While we're on the topic of generations. I think we tend to be unfair to the Boomers too. Mainstream adoption of TV hit in their early years and no one was prepared for it. A propaganda box in every living room tossed into a high-trust society. Not to give them a pass on everything, but I understand how so many of them turned out the way they did.
Really Americans sold out their future when they enacted the federal reserve in 1913 and then allowed universal suffrage. The nail in the coffin was the socialistic welfare state in the 1930s and opening citizenship and immigration to non Europeans.
By boomers time the stage had already been set.
I swear the broccoli hair is a strategic move to hide the widespread receding hairline that an unprecedented level of hormone altering chemicals and microplastics has caused.
