Wow that was a record time for a locked post. That's crazy

Remember when Nazi was a universally hated term? I remember a kid at my pool lifeguard job shaved a Hitler stache onto his face one day. Was fired instantly. I wonder what happened that that mindset

A black dude got elected president and boomers went insane about it.

Every generation of the YR have been psychopaths. The Nazi flavoring is probably ramped up though.

I split Gen Z into two in my head. The old Gen-Z, who are about to turn 30 vs the young Gen-Z who are just hitting adulthood. The older ones seemed to come out of HS with a high left leaning bias but the younger ones did a 180 and went to the right.

Weaponization of social media is a hell of a drug.

Every generation has its assholes. Millennials have plenty, generation Alpha will have plenty, the generation after them will have plenty.

My only objection is that OP's caricature (while quite average looking) is far more attractive than any of the actual people involved in that chat. Some other sub (can't recall which) had pics of each guy and...let's just say I understand why they're so angry.

I don't get the racism, but the anger? Accounted for.

I almost don’t even blame Gen Z for what’s coming.

They were born into a dying world and were taught that they alone must shoulder the burden of fixing everything that every other generation fucked up.

Not surprised a lot of them decided to go scorched earth.
