任何一天都在谷歌新闻上搜索Gen Z。比较任何主题上的负面数量和任何真正见解的数量。年长的抱怨者似乎认为他们还停留在他们的青少年时代。还要比较术语,比如“雪花人”等等,你就会知道这些垃圾是从哪里来的。这种垃圾轰炸每天都来自主流和社交媒体。
“觉醒”是另一个集结口号,用于疯狂的人群。如果你没在实际上实行种族灭绝,你就是“觉醒的”。这个词最初是黑人美国人对种族不公正的意识表达。
几十年后,通常情况下,它变成了一个“进步”表达。觉醒意味着对社会不公正的认识。似乎在这个世界上任何不公平都不可能发生。这个词不表示其他的意思,也从来没有。这也是Gen Z的错。
致那些认为通过对政治正确表达执拗和教条来取得成就的进步学者们的快速呼吁 - 你们没有取得任何成就,“政治正确”本身就是个矛盾的词语。政治是关于分裂和冲突的。哪里有正确之处?你也不能通过自以为是的宣传册来消除歧视。
媒体对Gen Z的描绘是一个奇怪但有趣的主题概述。就像缓慢运动中的仇恨言论一样。其中一些专家甚至不知道哪一代是哪一代。Gen Z在理论上是Gen Y的孩子。千禧一代在Y和Z之间,取决于出生日期。
结果是,那些足够年长而应该更了解情况的人在抱怨Gen Z,尤其是那些没有任何借口的垮掉的老人。这又是媒体极化的另一种产物 - 有机会无缘无故地因为他们就是你的子女和孙子女而憎恨他们。太聪明了,不是吗?
Gen Z仍然在一个极度极化和完全失效的社会环境中成长。任何理性的言论都变成了战场。一旦你说了什么,一切都成了战区。他们选择退出也就不足为奇了。
还有另一个视角。大多数Gen Z要么贫困,要么接近贫困。他们花费巨大代价接受糟糕的教育。他们几乎什么都买不起。他们陷入了一个对无能的老板毫不在乎技能的荒谬公司化灾难中。
他们几乎不可能在平均水平上建立起任何重要资本。他们几乎什么都买不起。少数特权人士的中世纪赞助确保许多人得不到任何认可。
Gen Z的未来并不乐观:
他们不可能甚至在理论上拥有长期稳定的就业。那种生活模式已经过去了,不会回来。
断断续续的工作可能不会让他们负担得起抵押贷款或其他重大财务承诺。
生活成本上涨和全球卫生状况的糟糕可能会在某个时刻严重打击他们。
生活成本上升也意味着他们的储蓄购买力将随时间减少。他们可能会幸运地做得更好,但这正是老一辈人所认为的。
“父母银行”的统计结束于2050年左右。这是假设父母本身还没有破产。 Y世代和千禧一代不太可能拥有同样数量的资本。
物业价格和令人作呕的租金使他们在各种经济压力下极为脆弱。拥有自己房子的人更具生产力。因此,人均实际产出将在实际上下降。
(不,生产力不仅仅是一些数字,用来说服糊涂的老糊涂的人你是很有生产力。这个词也有实际的物理和经济含义。)
整个一代人的大局观已经迷失在无关紧要的细枝末节和愚蠢偏见中。干得好,愚蠢的人们。
与此同时,年轻人们,请忽略那些白痴,摆脱这个下水道,在社会的其他地方开始自己的生活。

Search Gen Z on Google News any day of the week. Compare the negativity to any real insights on any topic. Older complainers seem stuck in the past. Also, look at the language used, like the term “snowflakes,” showing where the misinformation is coming from. This constant stream of nonsense comes from mainstream and social media daily.
“Woke” is another popular term for the irrational. If you’re not actively involved in genocide, you’re considered “woke”. Originally a black American term for being aware of racial injustice, it later became a “progressive” term for social awareness. It means understanding social injustice, as if any inequity could exist in this world. That's all the word has ever meant and Gen Z is to blame for that, too.
To the progressive pedants obsessed with politically correct language - You're accomplishing nothing and being politically correct is contradictory. Politics is about division and conflict. So what’s correct about it? Discrimination isn’t stopped with self-righteous brochures either.
The media portrayal of Gen Z is like watching hate speech in slow motion. Some pundits can’t even distinguish between generations. Gen Z are theoretically the offspring of Gen Y, while Millennials fall between Y and Z depending on birth year.
Older people who should know better are complaining about Gen Z, especially Boomers who have no excuse. Media thrives on creating division, allowing parents and grandparents to hate their own descendants for no good reason. Aren't you just brilliant?
Gen Z is growing up in a polarized and dysfunctional society where rational discussion is scarce. Everything turns into a battleground as soon as anyone speaks up. Is it any wonder they’re choosing to opt out?
Many in Gen Z are struggling financially and educationally, unable to afford much. They face a corporatized mess where skills are overlooked by unskilled superiors.
The future for Gen Z looks bleak:
They likely won't have stable long-term employment, a life model that no longer exists.
Their start-stop jobs won't allow for major financial commitments like mortgages.
Rising living costs and global health crises will impact them severely.
Rising costs will erode their savings over time, reminiscing about the struggles the Boomers faced.
The era of relying on parents financially will end around 2050, assuming the parents aren't already broke. Gen Y and Millennials won’t have the same financial security.
High property prices and rents make them vulnerable to economic pressures. Homeowners tend to be more productive, so productivity might decline per capita.
(Productivity isn't just a number to deceive others, it has physical and economic implications.)
The bigger picture of this generation has been overshadowed by irrelevant details and biases. Well done, fools.
Zoomers, ignore the ignorant and create your own path outside this mess.
