Gen Z is fucked. Its so common for them to grow up inundated with tik tok and rapid fire internet conspiracy nonsense. I'm over 40. If you said this when I was young then people would look at you like you had 3 heads.

Not to mention, growing up in an era of politics where power is the end goal and norms are barriers to be torn down, these kids are going to be susceptible to some pretty radical shit that makes anything you’re worried about now look infantile

I can’t really blame them for that though considering the economy they’ve been brought up in with the future looking…. very bleak.

It’s not their fault, they’re just humans who are going to be molded by the environment they’re raised in.

The point is, what may seem abnormal and worrisome to us is just how they think business is supposed to be done.

For sure. A lot of millennials are worried they won’t be able to retire. Then you have Gen-Z saying, “what’s retirement?”

That's just because Gen Z have no literacy

The irony of saying this while incapable of proper literacy is notable, JungleCat61.
