I have hope for the Gen Z but my millennial gen is a communist disgrace who can't handle opinions they disagree with and are obsessed with social media gratification and following what the media tells them to. The only thing that feels real about them is they like Harry Potter. What happened? Were the brainwashing and propagandists really on their game in 2000s setting this up?

While this would make sense, in some ways their psychology is also the opposite of that. They're obsessed with being one of the group commie style, they hate people that stand out. They hate individualism.
Here is a random example of something I was thinking of. Years ago I used to post a lot on basketball message boards and was into predicting what draft prospects would do well. My system sometimes came up with picks that were off the board from what the "consensus ranking" was. Maybe I got off a little bit on being a contrarian but following what the group thought was often hit/miss to begin with so it's not like their way was perfect. What I found is that a lot of people got mad at me and genuinely detested and called me names just because my opinion was different. I wasn't bothering anyone, I was just making predictions that sometimes were wrong. What a banal reason to dislike someone, like who cares. If I go back to same places these are the same type of people that are lefties that will attack you if you don't go with the mainstream narrative of course.
True. There's a strange clash between their supposed individuality and their collectivism.
It's like the patchwork identities of teenagers, created as they pick the stars and cars they like and construct an identity out of their particular combination of readymade stuff.
Perhaps some Millennials never grew out of this?
