[green, speaking, looking smug]
Okay, hear me out, here’s the plan…
We go full apathy, basically we let capitalism fully spiral out into fascism. Once it’s done, people will rise up and the system will collapse under its own weight. From its ashes, with our help, a better society will rise. This is how we win.
[we now see that green is tied up in front of a bleak wall, along with a group of other people, being aimed at by a firing squad of characters in fascist uniforms]
[green, smiling] OK?
[blue, pissed] Dude…
As a Millennial this is basically how I feel about Gen Z. Why are they so apathetic regarding everything? If anyone gets passionate about anything because they want something done about the rise of fascism, you get labeled as “crashing out”! It’s annoying as fuck!
Why are you generalizing a whole generation?
Advertising stupidity, the only reason anyone ever has.
As a millennial, you should understand that there’s no coherent volition behind surplus objects like Gen Z. Do you remember how the US just added every muslim to the list of terrorists or how suddenly all single mothers in the UK became a parasite?
Trump was elected under millennials, not Z. Americans in general are apathetic - it’s a culture issue, not a generational one.
I see that difference extremely clearly now that I live in Finland.
“The youngest voters and those entering middle age tacked hard to the right. Gen X — which slightly favored president-elect Donald Trump with a one-point margin in 2020 — shifted 9 points toward Trump this cycle. Gen Z favored Vice President Kamala Harris by 11 points, compared to 24 points for President Joe Biden.
…
Gen Z’s big shift to the right wasn’t entirely unexpected. Teens were twice as likely to identify as more conservative than their parents compared to millennials 20 years ago, per a Gallup and Walton Family Foundation study conducted last fall.”

Trump was elected under millennials *the first time.
And the second under both.
Not to mention, even your own thing shows they were still more “left” leaning (as left as you can get with establishment democrats at least) overall. But then again, you post from an unheard of source that then quotes the right wing business insider, so I’m not surprised you didn’t catch that their conclusion doesn’t make sense (Biden was the candidate up until literally a few months before the election, when it quickly swapped to Harris. 11 points in that context is quite high all things considered).
As a millennial who remembers massive climate change and anti Iraq war protests I get it.
My friends just say I’m crazy and I’m on the dark web for using Lemmy and telling them how bad google and fb are 😆 they dont believe anything I tell them.
Stop crashing out… :)
No but I think its because of never ending negative things happening. People stop to care because they cant affect it.
