You see that you're doing the generations thing right? Like you are doing the "lazy millennials" thing but just at a different generation. You're falling for their propaganda.
Only 54% of Gen Z voted for Harris and Gen Z males have a pretty big far-right problem. It’s not random nonsense about eating dirt or being on their phones, they’re actually being pretty fucking awful at way too high a rate for people that young.
How is that any different from older generations
Because the person I replied was trying to say that the person they replied to was falling for propaganda and compared it to call millenials lazy. We know for a fact that millenials generally work harder, and for less, than the older generations that were/are doing the complaining. In this case, we the older generation is complaining about Gen Z not being nearly as progressive as one would expect, even to the point where we can say they actually have a problem with conservatism, and the statistics back that up as fact.
TL;DR: “millenials are lazy” is made up to try to pay us less despite the statistics showing it to be a huge lie and “GenZ has way too many conservatives” is an observable fact complete with actual numbers.
You actually going to present any evidence for those claims?
There’s a lot in this article that goes through it. The split is way too close for a generation that you hope would be fairly solidly progressive. The women are doing well, the men are really struggling to hold up their end, especially the white men.
How does even decide when the various generation start and stop it seems so random.
Generally each generation is like 20ish years, with some variation in exactly what years, but that doesn't really make sense anymore since culture changes so fast these days.
