My 94 Year Old Dad just called me and said we need to do something. He says communists are taking over and we are sitting back and letting it happen. He is pretty wise. But he is afraid. I kind of agree with him.

GenZ is bipolar; the leftists are the hardcore chop-a-dick and their extremism pushes conservatives radially to the opposite. The normies will always be normies but can see stuff is seriously wrong.
Yeah, the millennials are screwed up, but to be fair, so is a huge chunk of the boomers (not all for any generation, ofc, but we wouldn't have the frankly crisis of the millennials without a pervasive set of crappy attitudes among the cucked of the boomers.
And everyone always forgets about Gen X lol I never here anyone talking about them lol
That's because Gen X largely rocked!
I always like to say, generations flip flop good and bad. You have the silent generation, the leaders of which started WWII, so while that's not as distinct they're kinda meh. Then, you have the Greatest Generation, which goes without saying. Then, you have the boomers, which was a massive generation so obviously split, but many of them were toxic to society. Gen X comes around and people are based because they're not living in the lap of luxury like many of the boomers grew up in. Millennials go without saying, and Gen Z is shaping up to be pretty good, though that remains to be seen.
Wow you make excellent points! I agree whole-heartedly. I do have to say as Millennials we were screwed. We grew up in the 90's where life was mostly really great, but we had to content with the early internet. It was like a giant experiment and we were the guinea pigs. Our parents largely didn't understand computers/the internet so it was a bit of a free for all with very little oversight on a lot of us. I still remember life before the internet and cell phones, but I was very young. I think Gen Z parents are much more technologically savvy, and Gen X didn't have to contend with the internet until they were much older.
Then, just as we are about to enter college/ the work force, the economy completely crashed, which made it very difficult to find jobs because everyone wanted experience plus there were much more people with college degrees, so there was a lot more competition for jobs. Almost everyone I knew was underemployed for years even with college degrees. We grew up hearing that all you need is a college degree... any degree. This was largely true for Gen X. There were tons of entry level jobs and the economy was better for them when they were starting out in life. Things shifted with employers wanting more specialized degrees, but many of us were still being taught that any degree was fine.
My family is interesting because my parents had 2 kids, took an 8 year break and then had 2 more. So we have 2 gen X kids and 2 millennials raised in the same household. It's just very interesting to see the differences between the two generations even when raised by the exact same parents.
