Yeah I’m afraid that the lesson is that Gen Z is not actually the future, they are going to repeat the past. What makes me sad is that they should have been the future but social media made sure that didn’t happen.

Did social media make sure that didn't happen, or did the fact that virtually every generation ultimately repeats the mistakes of the one before it ensure that didn't happen?

That they could have been so much better without Zuckerberg, Savage, Peterson, etc.

Exactly. They're turning young men into the generation that will force American women into burqas. Or at least support / help with the move.

but the system is rigged or my vote doesn't count or genocide joe or some stupid shit

So says the headline, but the entire article focuses on males and how much they love that he did shit like Rogan. I'm not saying young women can't also be idiots or angry at the present state of things, but they didn't completely forget that the right sees them as procreation slaves.

Well yeah, young men bought into all the incelfluencer crap they were being fed. Probably a good thing since young women by and large are flocking the opposite way and absolutely don't want to fuck conservatives.

If you read the linked article in my post Trump made inroads with young women too.

I mean, they did vote for change... just not the change we were hoping for, I guess. Things will most likely change for the worse now.

That said, real good change wasn't really on the ballot either.

Look at this guy thinking that we can vote our way out of this when we only have two, corporate sponsored, candidates.
