I'm back on reddit for one hour and I'm actually arguing with some of the stupidest people on the planet who keep pivoting back to blaming protesters and can't blame the DNC for even a single minute. So many people, so, so, so many people who all just want to blame the protesters and won't say a single word about how Biden and Kamala tanked their election.
They literally keep going back and talking about the protesters, literally, and LITERALLY won't say a word in their response in criticism of Kamala or Biden. This is utterly ridiculous; I left reddit initially because of the shocking amounts of bigotry and now I'm heading off again because these people are pigheaded children in response to people refusing to vote for genociders; they're literally mocking that the protesters are protesting and even claiming they're just doing it for tiktok and don't actually care.
These people are so hateful and vile. God I wish I could teleport them into Gaza.
Not only do you have liberals insisting kamala ran a perfect campaign, the genz subreddit is fucking cooked.
Like full blown celebrating and saying anybody who thinks anything bad will happen under Trump is delusional.
It's one thing to be delusional enough to say kamala would have been way better than Trump but to say that nothing bad will happen with a trifecta of republican control is wild.
Are spaces for gen z just that astroturfed or is it really a bunch of little nazi shitstains running around. The exit pill data last night suggest the latter that gen z rejected liberals messaging but they are moving far right and fast as a result.
Like the take isn't "kamala wouldn't have been any better for lgbtq people or gaza" it's more like "nothing bad is going to happen to women or trans people you all just live in a bubble because you think trumps bad"
Tbh I wouldnt exactly trust reddit to show an actual sample size of what any particular group thinks in general because theyre all fringe weirdos, but especially not gen z. Your average gen z person is on twitter or tiktok, not reddit.
The gen z subreddit gets brigaded by people who aren’t even gen z all the time. Not the best view of how that generation thinks.
Yeah, that's been the vibe for such a long time. There was a post about how you need to already have saved 1 year worth of salary for retirement by the age of 30. Some people were calling out how that's unrealistic for a lot of people now, but there was way more people talking about how that's entirely doable.
They were typically ~30s or older and had children already. They were also making over 100k and had jobs in tech and engineering. The youngest was like 28-29 that had a high paying 6 figure job. Which is far from the norm.
But yeah, lots of "that's totally realistic!", "the article is completely fine, genz is just lazy", "if you haven't begun saving for retirement in your early 20s it's your fault and you're a failure."
There's brigrading trying to rip influence and then there's every single comment being about how trump isn't bad and everybody overreacting and saying he's racist is why they won.
Like the top twenty comments are all gloating that watching liberals melt down makes their vote for trump even more worth it.
Even then I’d say that’s more about the demographic of people who use Reddit more than Zoomers as a whole.
Idk why millennials thought Gen Z was great or anything. Ever since they've been on the internet they've been inundated with fascist propaganda.
So were millenials but then we turned 16 and realized it was horseshit.
"We'll put a boot in your ass, it's the American way" was the lyrics to the number one song in the country and a bunch of pre teens were asking what Afghanistan had to do with 9/11.
I don't think it's the same at all.
I don’t know why anybody thought Gen Z was going to be this generation of hardline communists or something, a plurality are little Nazi shitstains and most of the rest are at “Joe Biden dropped out???” levels of political literacy
I've heard about Andrew Tate and how Trans people are icky far more than any other political ideas from highschoolers in the last two years. Granted, its only the guys and I'm in Texas (but one of the few counties that was blue despite Kamala's terrible performance).
