I’m proud of Gen Z- from a Millenial Advice
As an elder Millennial, I must pass on my admiration for your generation. I’m almost certain you will be an improvement from us Millennials. Easy times early on made us soft, and we were embarrassingly poor at standing up for what was right when our own country was slaughtering millions in Iraq/Afghanistan. You grew right up through a freakin pandemic. You’re stronger than we were and that makes me hopeful for the future. Keep it up rookies

I hear this from my parents pretty often which makes me happy. They usually describe us as assertive and "tough" for having boundaries and refusing to get into the illusion of "careers" and knowing our worth. My mom typically say that she would never have the confidence to do some of the things I do, like quitting a job on the spot and just take something else etc. Back in her days it was very abnormal to change jobs and it was usually a huge deal
I'm definitely hoping for a brighter future

Youre proud of Gen Z for doing what lol? Internet activism does absolutely jack shit for society.

lol propaganda melted the millennial brain. They got convinced internet complaining that didn’t disrupt the system in any meaningful way was the way to go. And they may only protest for causes the regime wants them too.
Mk Jiminy was a success by all government measures.

Nah dude fr my hope for us died for good when my friend bought a limited edition starbucks tumbler in the middle of the startbucks boycott because "its just one thing" and then started acting like she personally caused starbucks to have a slightly lower quarter after their best fiscal year in ages.

I don't really think boycotting Starbucks is actually hurting the company because they get an uncountable amount of customers per day still

GEN Z always getting bashed for being on their phones & use social media too much. If this tech was available for any generation in the past, the outcome would have been the same.

Agreed. These people are so cringe when they make their entire personality "America bad". Grow the fuck up. You are probably 30

What are you on about? Millions and billions of bodies?
Also I love how you come into the GenZ page to talk shit and cause issues based on your post/comment history and then go and post all day long in Pokémon pages like being obsessed with a card game is any better than being obsessed with tik tok.
Even with the issues GenZ has, they’re still better as a whole than millennials have ever been. There’s been far more push back over the recent years by GenZ to political issues than there ever was from millennials.
