I'm seeing all the round ups of 2025 happening right now so thought I'd ask what people make of it as it's been chaotic to say the least.
In my opinion, the left have lost the culture war, have greatly lost the economic dominance they once had as seen by media companies collapsing and their last hold out of the establishment is diminishing greatly. The only problem is they KNOW they are losing so are going scorched earth with the remaining tools they have like the judiciary in the US or the indoctrinated crazies they have like the troons.
But that ACTUALLY seems to be the side show. The growing fight seems to be between Gen Z and some millennials vs the boomers as a huge generation divide seems to have reach it's peak with even 'Gen Z coups' happening in multiple countries, the most dramatic of which is Nepal. From what I can gather, Gen Z seems to have had enough of Boomers sitting on their hands, saying everything will work out and they should just do what they did when they were that age and Gen Z would rather burn the system down they feel has no interest in them.
The rise in internet censorship by western governments seem to be the last acts of old institutions realising the younger generation has grown to hate them and are hoping to deny them the few communities they have to indoctrinate them again, not realising that ship has sailed. 2026 is going to be interesting as we may see another shift thanks this divide being more prominent.
early millenial here. sort of grew up in the worldview of "a society grows as long as men plant trees in whose shade they'll never sit". on my own - parents always busy, dumped me at grandma's any chance they had. even had her relocate to "be closer to the grandkids". thought they were planting those trees lol.
only now that i have kids of my own I realized the cavalry wasnt coming. took me a while.
the damage boomers have done to our social fabric is immeasurable. everyone on my parents' gen x cohort sort of "went along with the times" thinking the parents knew best, and now its up to millennials and Zs to clean up the mess...
