The children now love luxury; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are tyrants, not servants of the households. They no longer rise when their elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize over their teachers.
It’s the only way they can pretend it’s not their fault.
Beat me to it, I was mentally screaming "AND WHO'S FAULT IS THAT!?!?!" to the whole headline.
They lack our values of rugged individualism and being a goddamned shithead! These godless youth!
Look if you ever reach the point of muttering about "Kids these days" and it's not about how they all suck at Counter Strike you are lost. Utterly lost. The spirit of humanity has died within you and is rotting. The kids will be fine. The kids have always been fine. There has never been a generation of The Kids in history that was truly weirder than their parents.
You say that until you get dabbed on by the skibidi rizzler
Couldn't be. I'm the bees knees. I'm a hep cat. I'm the darb to all the dames down at the juice joint. Got my glad rags on, giggle water in hand, putting on the ritz so i can meet a nice sheba and go neck in the coatroom.
The phrase "ritz rizzler" just entered my brain and now you have to think about it.
I don't think judging a generation by those who survived is fair. The cool people tend to die earlier
Material conditions or alternatively, were they ever that cool?
I have a theory that for many people, the youth-leftist thing isn't based in solidarity or whatever, it's based in self-interest - across generations. Makes sense to be a socialist, when you're poor, and all. As the survivors gain their riches, they get more conservative - they have property to "defend" now. They were always self-serving people, it's just they were occasionally in a position where that meant to be vaguely left.
And I'd believe you, I don't think nobody helps others out of the good of their heart or whatever. Those people exist, loads of them are here.
I'm saying, when you get into generational views, it might not hold up for a large amount for them.
Mine too. But they're old and need help, even though they don't see it that way. So I help them then get sick of them. Rinse repeat.

Yeah wouldn't necessarily blame all this on people being ontologically "self-serving" from the beginning, thats liberal moralistic thinking. A shift towards cuckservativism its just an inevitable consequence of gaining wealth and property within a capitalist society. They weren't born selfish, they became selfish after years of indoctrination and falling into a position that strongly incentivises it.
i get the "less educated" and "without values" part but where does depression play into the zombie stereotype, depression implies the existence of conscious human thought processes, what a shit journalist
They're picturing a depressed person as a nihilistic killjoy that doesn't want to do anything and lives without a purpose, I'm assuming.
That's the problem with kids today. They're not happy consuming the treats!
"lets make everyone miserable by fucking the economy, fucking the planet, killing millions of filthy poors each year and then demonize our labor force in the media for having an adverse reaction to this!"
Hold up, you are the same person that went gushing about thighs beneath a previous comment of mine...
and also who kills industries by not buying things according to the marketing plan and refuses to accept working a mcdonalds job into their late 20s
Why did they use one of the band members of Mgła for the picture?
Would be funny if they still bought into the "metal is satanic" thing, not realising that Mgła are actually fascists like them
But it's more likely they just typed "hooded man" in a search engine
SO WHAT IT'S YOUR PROBLEM
TO LEARN TO LIVE WITH
DESTROY US --- OR MAKE US SAINTS
WE DON'T CARE --- IT'S NOT OUR FAULT
THAT WE WERE BORN TOO LATEA SCREAMING HEADACHE ON THE BROW OF THE STATE
KILLING TIME IS APPROPRIATETO MAKE A MESS
AND FUCK ALL THE REST
WE SAY
WE SAY
When the values of the culture at large are theft, genocide, and anything else that makes money for the people who least need it, the only sane response is depression.
Now that it's mentioned, "Generation Z" does sound like it would be the name of a late 2000s/early 2010s zombie movie trying to cash in on the big zombie fad at the time.
