It seems to be quite the opposite, despite the propaganda they want you to believe. For all the tacos man they completely ignore women, who have completely and utterly abandoned conservative politics, something no other generation woman has done on your own scale. Even among the men they still turn out for Progressive policy just not for captured controled opposition fake left parties. A lot of the support pillars that hold up the rights are crumbling and that’s not turning around. We also can’t economically sell out because it’s not being offered. We’re not being offered concessions and Investments to keep us in the system like homeownership, instead they’re taking away every reason to care about preserving that things as they are
Like I said…I guess we’ll see. Gen X was accused of being the slacker generation, and by implication it seemed to be expected that we’d all just completely disrupt the corporate plans and the conservative movement would be essentially DOA when it came to our generation.
We anticipated getting royally fucked over as many of us were entering the workforce just as a recession hit and we saw all the downsizing/rightsizing/offshoring/outsourcing taking place and screwing boomers. Turns out, our generation was working much harder than the boomer media gave us credit for, and I don’t think we were nearly as politically astute as the boomers were. At least some of us watched boomer-made content and instead of realizing it was skewering such attitudes, they thought it was aspirational (Wall Street, Scarface).
I think we’ll have a real good first indication of where Gen Y and Gen Z are going as the largest wealth transfer in history really starts getting traction. (We’ll also see what having Larry Ellison run a platform like TikTok will do, as well). Will Gen Y/Z/alpha finally fund and build something to counter the radical right wing noise machine, for example? Or will they mostly fall prey to working on amassing even more wealth than prior generations using that historically epic wealth transfer as seed money?
Knowing human nature and having heard similar sentiments about my own generation…I know where I’d place my bets.
