#like not all gen z are like leftist i've been called a fag too many times to beileve that

[sys-garden]

being gen z is like torn between “gen z isnt that bad we arent all illiterate reactionists” and “oh we are bad but in a complex way that is hard to explain”

...which i guess isn’t that big brained of a take because thats just how generalizations work.

#some gen z complaints are less symptoms of the specfic generation and more issues with like how teens and how ppl in their 20s are #like not all gen z are like leftist i've been called a fag too many times to beileve that #i would say more kids are leftist then in other generations cause we have access to informal leftist stuff via the internet #and now people are more empathic towards ppl different from them so like i know cishet white dudes #who are liberal to leftist because they know that right wing politics harms oppressed ppl and they actually care #and kids who are oppressed and would be drawn to leftist politics have more a voice now too. #But nonono we aren't all leftists #and not all of the kids who are leftists are bad at being leftist i've known kids very active in community work and politics #and kids who may not be that involved but like still leftist and not bad at theory #alot of young leftists think that lived experience is enough which is why like #alot of white queer people are racist cause they think being queer is enough and dont work on anti-racism #but also people view gen z as more of a problem generation because the dumbest takes get the most clout from the white teens taken spaces #so smarter and/or more oppressed teens are thrown under the bus
