If you read the actual article youll see that its not that gigantic a change actually. It’s pretty slight on the whole, and makes sense as American Neo Fascism has expanded massively in the past 10 years.
There are no more young moderate conservatives, they’re all Nazis instead
Those are mostly the same thing. For my entire life conservatives have coalesced around hurting as many people as possible. The Christianity nonsense? They only care about the parts that hurt people. Economically? They only do things that hurt people. Socially? Oh boy…
It just seems like Gen z has just dropped many flimsy facades.
I’m so happy I turned 24 last month, my boyfriend wouldnt take it well
yknow, my older gen z friends say there is a sharp divide between older and younger of their generation. we came to the conclusion that it is a culmination of many things but primarily the dismantling of the education system and focus on standardized testing, and the reliance on smart devices and dependence on social media. modern parents are more hands off as a rule, largely to make up for overbearing parents or abusive childhoods, and because of that the favoring of devices to aid in parenting is an issue. my friend told me that younger gen z really struggles academically and socially, and that they’re prone to emotional instability when challenged. additionally, i have seen several teachers in videos discussing what teaching is like nowadays and it honestly sounds like a nightmare merely dealing with students alone. some of these children can read the words in front of them but not connect them logically. it’s as if they know what the shapes mean without meaning. they know how to pronounce them and to read them. what the absolute hell is that? lol
there’s other crazy shit but the point is even gen z is worried about gen z and younger. they’re more far-right, more intolerant, more racist, more queerphobic… it sucks. they are dumber and get their information and entertainment from an echo chamber. it’s worse the younger you go according to teachers. idk what the hell we’re going to do.
They made thinking machines so we wouldn’t have to think for ourselves. What you’re describing is the natural outcome of that. AI is only making this worse. The brains of children go unused as they merely sway in the winds created by AI-generated online influencers. AI says jump, the kids ask how high. Just accept it and eat your tidepod or whatever the new fad is… :/ We who see are deemed too woke, too old, and bothersome to listen to, like the generations before who tried to teach us what they knew.
is it social media/redpill content’s fault? I’m kinda clueless here.
That’s where men go because they have no other support systems.
The red pill content to repulsive personality to social rejection to isolation to even more extreme red pill content to lather rinse repeat pipeline
I think later millenials and early gen z caught that perfect timing of the internet maturing.
Though after that, the internet got massive and consolidated into these social media bubbles, which have been easy for bad actors to control. And with smartphones then becoming a device people cant live without, its contributed to a downward spiral, where it’s easy to spread hatred.
Men under 24 have largely lived in a world of higher gay acceptance than previous generations. (broadly speaking about western society, not places like saudi or fundamentalist sects)
There’s a lot more intolerance to stigmatizing gay people, cops prosecute crimes against gay people, gay people aren’t as openly discriminated at work like in the past. Homosexuality is more accepted in 2026 than in the 1990s.
I wonder if living in a community where they haven’t seen violent gay intolerance makes them unaware of what they are advocating for.
Same thing could be said for anti-vaxxers. Never had to live through polio, measles, or other diseases running rampant and wreaking havoc on the population so they don’t have the perspective to immediately see the benefits that vaccines have afforded us.
Edit: before anyone points it out, yes I’m aware there was a pandemic a few years back and anti-vaxxers were coming out of the woodwork. But by that point there were politically manufactured anti-science movements with troublingly eugenicist undertones in full force. COVID was most lethal towards the sick and elderly, which a lot of conservatives wrote off as “acceptable losses,” measles and polio affected children who were otherwise healthy.
