      Not planning on doing anything relating to your post at all, but what free item would convince most millennials to get into an unmarked van that would lead there?

        Those folders with people doing sports on them or Lisa Frank wrist slaps will get you maybe 80% of the way there. You can sweep up the rest by dangling a JNCO jeans or something.

    Not downvoting you, I just don't really believe in artificial generational divides. Sure, there are tendencies among age groups, but ime it would be far more accurate to group people in 5 year intervals (people would usually pick their friends within a ±5 year margin) than arbitrary cut offs. I'm a "zillennial". I don't have very much in common with elder millennials, but I can relate to my friends in their early twenties easily.

    I don't really want to pass the buck of activism to the next generation if I can also be out on the street raising hell for the rest of my life. I'll be out there when I'm 80 if I'm not dead by then. There are radical Gen X-ers. There are radical Boomers. Conversely, there are Zoomers like Kyle Rittenhouse.

    Radicals need to stick together no matter how old they are. Generational infighting is not gonna help us get here.

        It's something like 93-95 right up until Gen z starts depending on who you ask.

          im 97 so i feel neatly inbetween. I agree tho that i get along better with older zoomers and younger millenials more than younger zoomers and older millenials. found it interesting to see where people draw the edge

    Idk if anyone else notices this but, millennial men are further left than zoomer men, zoomer woman are further left than millennial woman.

        I think zoomer men will become more left over time, as I think millennials were more reactionary when we were younger.

        I have no clue why millennial woman are further right than zoomer woman though.

            Millenial men with good jobs are still fairly left wing, I have a lot of friends with pretty damn good careers who were all pretty deep Bernie supporters.

            Re the girl boss thing, I think it's that maybe millenial woman who do care about their careers take that career oriented identity to a much further place than the men with good careers do.

                Ahh yeah, the UK is definitely different than the US in this regard, and I think it might just be that the US has far less of a functioning social democracy that had some meaningful elite support when it came about in europe.

    Being executed for being too far right is just about the only thing that could give me hope for humanity's future.
