Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL that in 1554 Elizabeth Crofts hid in a wall on Aldersgate Street, where she pretended to be a heavenly voice. Reputedly 17,000 people came to listen to her give out anti-Catholic propaganda. by Kurma-the-Turtle

You can find that same stupidity online. Look no further than Generation Z.

Well they do have less experience.

Yes, well, I'm at that age where even though I recognize that I have more experience than them, we are also not living in the same world that we were when I was young

That doesn't make your experience irrelevant.

No, I suppose not, although it did make some courses in college I took irrelevant 🥲. One thing I admire about gen z though, is their ability to collectively organize. They will need that unity.

Unfortunately, that organization comes from a lack of independent thought. A generation have a wide range of opinions is not a bad thing.

Having the same opinion about society and politics not serving the people anymore is not a bad thing.

Like, sure they all dress the same but does that really matter?

Yes it is. Most of the time these values come with experience. Something that generation doesn't have yet.

We only gave them two political choices: far right or far left. It's not a generational problem it's a systemic problem.

My father's generation was putting lead in gasoline.

My generation didn't have smartphones to record our stupid shit for most of our youths.

My son's generation is on TikTok or vine acting like kids do.

But yeah, Gen z is totally the worst.

Don't do that. We were all dumb kids, look no further then America's Funniest Home Videos. I could argue the same for a good helping of adults too, just saying, but it's not a generational thing.
