      Yes. They’re watching from their cozy rooms, on their expensive iPhones, eating their yummy snacks. Gonna take A LOT more for Americans to react like Nepal or Madagascar.

      Yeah, I don’t think we should be placing a lot of hope in American Gen Z.

      They’re busy getting cucked by right wing manosphere grifters or punishing the Democrat party over a single issue while holding the door open for fascists.

    “Gen Z” didn’t topple anything. This is coordinated by big money.

          No term will ever satisfy everyone. And everyone knows who “gen z” refers to. I’ll not let your semantic wars ruin my day… which is so xennial of me 👓

          You could make that case for the boomers, but with the advent of the Internet it’s not really limited to specific countries anymore. Gen z just describes people who grew up with some access to the internet, but not to the extent of alpha. A large part of these recent revolts were caused or accelerated by social media. Gen Z is more specific than young people, and in this case also more culturally relevant.

          Doesn’t matter anyway, even if you think Gen Z isn’t real you know what age range the article is talking about.
