    The biggest problem with Gen Z is that they’re disillusioned way too young. You need those dreams alive when you’re young and full of energy. Kids used to rebel against their parent’s jaded attitude, but Gen Z ate it up. I mean, yes there are a lot more things to be disillusioned about now, but you’re not supposed to be crippled by those at such a young age. Otherwise they seem great. They have compassion and empathy, and they’re open to new ideas. If only they had the belief that they could change things instead of feeling beat down at the ripe old age of 20.

      On the other hand they’re so sick of shit they might be the ones who have the balls to start setting everything on fire and bring back the guillotine.

      It’s much easier to learn about what there is to be dissilussioned about now with how the internet is now.

      They also have therapy tiktok/yt. I can’t imagine the headstart some of them are getting in terms of understanding and dealing with the issues they/everyone faces. That’s something legit incomparable to anything that came before, imo.

      Granted, I have no idea the ratio of younger folks on therapy-/book-tok verses on those crazy conspiracy and new age/spiritual stuff.
