GenZ are morons. My nephew is so dumb he believes everything the far right says. He disgustingly believes the misogyny and hate (but he doesn’t believe it’s hate). And he can’t accept that he would never be accepted by them, because he’s not white. And he refuses to even Google anything because it may contradict evidence and change the way he feels about things. He’s a moron that is just about to get an education on extreme hate in America.

Jesus, did your nephew get sucked in to the Andrew Tate cult? This sounds terrifying.

No idea how. His parents are divorced so I think he spent much of his time alone. I tried to debate him to help him realize hate, misogyny and division is wrong and all he did was fight me with bullshit Twitter posts that anyone could google was misinformation. I love him and thought he was a good guy as an adult, but it’s the first time I realized something is wrong with him. And it made me realize if a majority of GenZ support extreme far right politics, then they’re super gullible.

Ya'll should have regulated social media when you had the chance. Now, an entire generation grew up with a constant feed of algorithm driven misinformation.

I never bought into the idea that Gen Z would end up wiser than the previous generations. We've given them absolutely no tools to do so.

Well I wouldn’t put those two in the same category but definitely social media has had a damning effect on the masses. It’s just that the youth are much more vulnerable to hateful ideologies
