I hate to be old 'millennial boomer' guy but Gen Z really is sad and needs to get this shit figured out. I know people have always been dumb, and younger generations have always made the older generations say "oh these kids" but there are some big issues with Gen-Z i feel are really unique
>Social Media It appears to be taboo not to have one, like you're some sort of psychopath in their social sitgma. This simply isn't true. Its okay to delete social media. The internet is a giant data gathering tool on you at this point and that data is and will be used against you intrusively. >TikTok In particular. TikTok appears to just be people making up fake scenarios or arguments in their head and then responding to them? Its like having an argument with an imaginary friend
Which brings me to my next point
>The internet in general Gen Z doesn't appear to know what is real, what is fake, what is misinformation, what is trolling. They appear to be BLOWN AWAY by the notion that someone would just come on the internet and lie. Most Gen Z's I know actually think text conversations they see on Any Forums or reddit something are real. They are super susceptible to conspiracies and shill farms getting people amped up politically. OR they're way too schizoid and EVERYTHING is a conspiracy. (Hate to break it to you anons, at least 1 of the mass shootings has been real, they were not all feds. Is it that hard to believe with 340 million people we have a few nutjobs)
>Money/Work I work with Zoomers putting 'netflix' on their work Calendar. Are you niggers serious? They are so lucky they aren't in management I'd fire them. Apparently no one even attempts to tries anymore. Every other generation at least waited until they had an easy job in their late 30s or 40s to throw in the towel. Not at the start of your career

Cherokee County, KS’s election was held last Tuesday on August 2nd. During a post election audit, they discovered that the thumb drives used in the election flipped the votes cast for District 1 County Commissioner Myra Frazier and instead gave them to her opponent, Lance Nichols, who was initially declared the winner.
Every single Election must be audited now.
Especially with the FBI conducting illegal raids and planting evidence (Steele Dossier).
I always say this in these kind of threads: I work as a teacher and this shit haunts me. In big cities, it wasn't a surprise to find that 3/4 of classes were ""non binary"" tiktok addicts. I teach history, in middle school. I am not particular about dates aside from the big ones, I just want them to get a good picture of cause/effect in our past and how that relates to us now. And yet, they just fucking can't. Not even a chapter at a time. I got severely reprimanded for "misgendering" a lunatic that changed gender everyday. All my colleagues were fine with this because it meant less work. I was baffled.
So I moved to the country. I come from it, and I figured it was like I left it.
Same. Exact. Shit.
I blame tiktok for this. It's also insane how they don't even know how to computer, JUST tiktok. Phones are tiktok machines. They can't even conduct google searches properly. Fixing this will take a LONG time boys. It's very concerning.
I don't care man. At the end of the day the US is already a banana republic, crony capitalism has ruined everything, and the elites don't care if its red or blue. Literally no one gives a fuck about the election audit or jan 6 or bills they pass or any of this shit.

Maybe things are fucked in the "west", but I don't know a single person that uses Tiktok. Or Reddit, for that matter.

Gen X and Millenials have an odd alliance where we grew up without the internet and helped 'develop' it and know how it works. Boomers and Gen Z take it WAY to seriously. Like I guarentee you all of the threads here with people seriously arguing about politics are Gen Z. Millenails and Xers are the ones making jokes about poop or boners or something. Its painfully obvious.
Jason Richardson
Everything you say is true I'm gen z and I had a good childhood growing up bit around 2016 everything started changing; everyone became antisocial, dating has been horrible since, people started becoming addicted to the internet, politics over friendships etc... It's almost like AI took over humanity at that period of time. I don't think that society as it is currently trending toward will be sustainable for another 10 years.
Gavin Morris
Even if they don't use 'tik tok' per se they are using ifunny or facebook or youtube shorts and just scrolling through.
The other day my sister was over. I never see her, and I was asking her about her life and she didn't even look up until I yelled her name loud and rudely as she was just on the couch watching videos.
Then I was like; are you even entertained by those. Are they that funny or captivating its worth not talking to your brother who you never see who lives on the other side of the country? And she was like no I'm sorry I was rude but you're right, I don't even know why I watch, very rarely something makes me LOL or re-think something.
It seems like its more of a drug than anything. They don't even seem to like it that much but they can't put the phone down
Jace Allen
I feel you Op, but honestly I really like getting old and becoming a 30 year old boomer. I can say more preposterous shit and be edgyer IRL and easily get away with it because Im gettin old, grumpy and le ok boomer meme. But yeah, zoomers are a bunch of naive brain-dead adhd-riddled faggots.
>people making up fake scenarios or arguments in their head and then responding to them? Its like having an argument with an imaginary friend Should we tell him?
Ian Thompson
If it's true do your best to keep it that way unless you want to see an 11 year old boy with nail polish
Older generations engege only quality discussion. We can shit up shit threads because since we learned about the internet as an object separate from us we can detach ourselves from it. That's why I have no problem telling a tranny to rope when they post something dumb. Newer gens can't, because the internet was so significant in their development it's a part of reality for them. So while we can see something stupind and ignore it, and generally mess around and make dick jokes, they percieve it as a part of them, so when they see something they don't like they go apeshit. It's like finding a stranger sitting on your couch for them, or at least that's how I understand it.
>It's almost like AI took over humanity at that period of time Its not AI, its big tech. They've managed to get people addicted and their algorithms are so fine tuned and intrusive and people don't even realize that they're already living in a dystopia there just isn't as much neon pink and cyberpunk outfits as they were expecting.
>I don't think that society as it is currently trending toward will be sustainable for another 10 years. This seems like a harsh exaggeration. Life always goes on. But yes if there is a large scale power outage or internet outage or something, in the past. People pulled up their bootstraps and figured out how to keep on keeping on. These days I think if the power were out for 1 month I have no doubt the death toll would hit 5 million, followed by retards protesting 'the power company' and 'blaming the republicans' with front page news on reddit and facebook events and the like. Gen Z is seriously brainwashed and incapable of being even remotely self sufficient.
Here is a fun experiment. Ask any of your friends how they would get to (pick a random spot on the country) without a GPS.

It's because everything on a computer (smartphone or an old fashioned pc) became a commodified service. There's no barrier to entry and no learning taking place. It's just replaced TV. I'm sure there's still plenty of autismo youngins who still learn programming and operating systems and stuff, it's just not as popular as a 16yo shaking her ass.

Considering how cancerously detached from reality boomers are, I'd say it's more like boomers and zoomers are equally delusional. Also boomers are the ones who thought it would be a good idea to give their real government IDs to Parler, so that's some sub-zoomer tier critical thinking skills.
My theory on boomers is that it's from all the lead paint and inhaling fumes from leaded gasoline that caused them brain damage. Zoomers are just faggots who need to get off the shitty parts of the internet (4cancer, 8cancer, plebbit, tshitter, fagbook etc.)
Really the internet died in 2010 with pocket snitches, otherwise known as NSA phones, also called boomer shitposting devices, and it's never been the same since. Nearly all the shitposters on here are the newfags to the cancer that was the AIDS and fail that was the newfags to the newfags. Seriously you guys are so fucking new you don't know anything at all about chan culture and simply let Fox and friends astroturf it into some faggy boomer circlejerk.
That's a complete lie. This is why so many of you shitheads unironically post on tshitter of all places, the possibly lowest IQ slum on the internet. Youtube and Any Forums might even be smarter on average. If you write more than two sentences it's full >I can't read essays user please give it to me in some 5 minute youtube video shitpost by a literal who instead You have no patience nor capacity for critical thinking.
that was the whole point of the reality tv psyop to blur the line between reality and fiction i remember when every cable channel was getting taken over by shitty reality tv programs, literally everyone complained about it, but they did it anyway and soon people just forgot and accepted it and became accustomed to it

Boomers lived life on Tutorial Mode in a video game. They basically had it easier as far as buying a home and financial investments. Not to say that they didn't work hard or pinch pennies, lots of them did, but on average they didn't have the barrier to life entries the other generations did. Don't get me wrong. Boomers have no idea how the internet works either and have their own share of problems with it; but what makes me nervous about Gen Z with it is they can't seem to live without it.
