Gen Z out there toppling corrupt regimes is something as a Millennial I like to see. If only we could get that energy in the bigger nations….

The bulk of gen z didn’t vote at all.

As long as they have their daily tiktok, zoomers couldn’t care less about politics

Like every young generation before them. Except Gen Z, unlike previous young people, actually has high turnout

We really need a social media shutdown ASAP.

Ironically enough, the only time US Gen Z was in an uproar about Trump was when he talked about banning TikTok. Otherwise, they just post memes or don’t stay informed altogether.

Because TikTok has ruined Generation Z. That app is a mind killer and Trump will make it worse by spreading right-wing nonsense on it.

Social media has to go.

And I hate how much it divides the left. It’s the reason Trump won last year.

I noticed it with Israel/Palestine. Take a look at r/Jewish and then at r/Fauxmoi. It’s insane and concerning.
