I work with many genZ ppl, and the fairly pathetic fools we see coping and saying unhinged stuff on insta or TikTok are a minority. Yes, they are the most vocal, so they seem like the rule, but they are the exception, craziest of the crazies. most of genZ have the sense not to air out highly personal matters on social media, they work hard and want to build solid careers... they exist and there are millions of them. Some are turning to traditional religion and are fairly unplugged; they are seeing that the search for meaning cannot be satisfied by the consumerist Amazon/cannabis/pharma complex. their turning away from the dominant paradigm is not being televised but it is occurring. don't let the 💩 your phone shows you determine your view of reality, as you will be very misled.
This reflects my thoughts and views exactly. I have gen z kids myself and they’re all so lost in their own ideological ways that they are incapable of seeing a world or reality outside of it. They’ve been blinded to the Islamist mass migration that now flows unchecked into every western nation and is without doubt waging war and openly planned attacks of our civilisation. It’s all interlinked with corrupt globalist agendas that have invaded our everyday lives and are now the biggest threat to a normative existence. The Uk is a shit hole and is sinking fast under Starmer and London is dominated by a radical Islamist mayor who continues to radicalise and insight hatred right under our noses. Europe is a breading ground of street violence and terror and still our kids think we’re the racists. Fuck this, it’s time everyone took responsibility, just like Ireland has just done and stood up to government and proved the levels of illegality and corruption that has been forced onto their doorsteps. Good article as ever Alex. Keep talking truth…people are listening!
The really scary sad part of the Gen Z'rs is that they will look to AI to make them intelligent, I have a 35 year old son that is an engineer and he thinks Chat GPT is great. Glad you are getting onto topics other than Putin, Russia and Ukraine.
I'm getting to many various issues also trans insanity and pedophiles, WEF and globalists... Putin and Ukraine is the one issue where people refuse to see the truth while with all the others they do see it and agteee with me.
Chat GPT is great? First, it's stupid and annoying, and second, your son doesn't see the danger of elimination human-to-human service at all?
Putin invaded the Ukraine twice, the first time to plant Russian migrants the second to take over the country. His ambitions are to create a new version of the failed USSR. I fail to see how any of that is right.
You're just repeating NATO talking points and ignore everything NATO were doing in Ukraine all the way since 2004. Also, Putin didn't 'plant Russian migrants' into Ukraine - Russians lived in Donbas and Crimea for centuries, and the whole Ukraine is a fake nation created by Lenin just one century ago by mixing together oles and Russians. Learn the history please.
Also if Putin wanted to restore USSR he would have started from the Middle Asian post Soviet states of which the West doesn't give a shit, and wouldn't have waited for 22 years to start such ambitious project either. NATO propaganda is 100% lie which can't stand against bases critics, history, reality, logic and common sense.
I have hope. I don’t recall anything I learned in school was particularly useful, and I’m a millennial. They’ll learn how to be a functional person in the real world.
I have two Gen Z kids and one is a medical researcher and the other a teacher. To get the required qualifications to perform these roles they needed the relevant university degrees. Their friends are either nurses or doctors who also needed the appropriate educational qualifications. And the children of my friends are similary employed in meaningful jobs.
As far as "activism" is concerned they don't have a deep interest in politics because they see too much hypocrisy in it and people pushing their own agendas out of self interest and not for the good of the community as a whole.
But to say that places of higher learning are just hotbeds of wokeism or Marxism is not true and ignors their real purpose which is to educate people for vocations that society needs. For example, nurses, doctors, engineers, architects, and teachers to name a few.
Similarly, technical colleagues turn out capenters, bricklayers, tilers and concreters.
Personally I think the terms "woke" or "wokeism" is overused because this phenomenon is not responsible for all sickness in society. For example, domestic violence, theft, murder, racial discrimination, bullying in the class room or leaders making decisions to go to war. In fact it could be argued that a lack of proper education along with poor parental upbringing is at least partially responsible for these things.
In fact I think people many times use these these terms to criticise things when they can't properly articulate what they are criticising.
You have certainly raised a problem in social discourse but I thing it's wrong to condemn a whole generation as being "lost" and virually illiterate.
Well, I might have exaggerated a bit but the problem is still there. They're really teaching that 2+2=5 at unis, I have countless screenshots of it. They're removing Homer and Mark Twain from school libraries and install Genderqueer porn there instead.
They're teaching Critical Race Theory, Queer theory and other Woke bullshit at unis too. You had pointed out that technical and medical colleges still retained some standards. Perhaps. What's about Social Sciences and Humanitarians though? They're 100% infected with Woke ideology and teach nothing but it.
Unlike many I know well what the Woke is and can well define it. Neither I claim Wokeness is our ONLY problem - that's why particularly I caution people from whitewashing classic old school villains like Putin or idealising 'good traditionalist past' where gays were in the closet, women - on the kitchen, and Blacks - in chains.
So unlike many anti Woke fighters I certainly don't claim Wokeness is our only problem but it IS a problem though too, and shouldn't be ignored.
The Democrats own this lock, stock, and barrel. And they don’t care because all the while they were giving “it”, they were taking from the table of “hooray for me and flip you”. The people deserve it because that’s the way they wanted it, they voted for it!!! I feel sorry for no body.
Don’t agree Alex - i have the two most rounded kids ever. We raised them we are responsible for how they turn out so stop blaming them. They are now stuck between gen x parents one who doesnt go along with the narrative and one who does. Destroyed the gen x parents relationship but the kids still get on with us both. You can never blame them you made em
It seems that something has happened to people born from the late 80s/1990 on. Now, there are some very impressive young people out. They blow away anybody I remember from my younger 80s and 90s days. However, there is no small number of young adults that have not progressed beyond toddler stage. They live in this world of fantasy, anger, and mentally studded.
A bad K to post grad educational system, modern culture, poor parenting skills (indulging child's every whim), and big Pharma have destroyed these young people. They will never be right, they're too far gone.
For now, the lucky ones live at home with their parents caring for them like a five year old. The unlucky ones are out on the streets, strung out on drugs and living in unreality. At some point when the parents age out unless they have a sibling to take them in they're also headed to the streets. We ain't seen nothing yet with regards to homelessness and mental illness/drug addiction.

Ok, your personal experience with them is valuable and you givee hope, thanks!
They were lied to and misled by everyone from politicians, teachers, MSM, celebrities, athletes etc…
Imagine how bitter they'd be once they realized it!
Boo friggon hoo.

Yeah, I lived in Europe for seven years (Finland), so I feel you and agree with all your points. Thanks for your comment too!
Sadly true
She’s a perfect example of an idiot representing the people of the US. 🤯

So sad.
Indeed. Tragic.
Well written
Thanks.

Hope you're right.

"Gen Z wasn't Taught Anything but Woke Activism"
I would have to disagree.
I have two Gen Z kids and one is a medical researcher and the other a teacher. To get the required qualifications to perform these roles they needed the relevant university degrees. Their friends are either nurses or doctors who also needed the appropriate educational qualifications. And the children of my friends are similary employed in meaningful jobs.

It all starts at home.

Yeah, DemoNrats gas ruined our young generation, one more their crime.

I don't have kids, so I made no one, I was speaking in general, and I blamed education, not them.

They can go to Canada.
No, I didn't mean that. My point is that they are lost and can't do shit even if they unlearn Woke bullshit because they weren't taught anything else.
