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.
holy shit
That dance went hard!
Yes let’s dehumanise the victims of a sick society
It’s the only way they can pretend it’s not their fault.
Gen Z is made of zombies
Dehumanized enemy NPCs can be brutalized and murdered without any sense of guilt amirite fellow Main Characters
Beat me to it, I was mentally screaming “AND WHO’S FAULT IS THAT!?!?!” to the whole headline.
shambles forward: Meeeaaaans oooofff proooduuuccctiiioooon…
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.
“ritz rizzler”
When the past and the future come together to make something not quite as good as either!
Rizzin up the Ritz
Tubular lingo fam
I do think some generations are uniquely shittier than those that come before and afterward. The kids are all right, but most of the lead-infused boomers and almost as many of the Xers, not so much.I don’t think judging a generation by those who survived is fair. The cool people tend to die earlier
You might have a point, but what killed the cool Xers, then?
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.
- I became a leftist partially out of mutually-experienced suffering with future comrades, but primarily because I wanted others to be better off and happier. Maybe it was because of happy chemicals from helping others if some reductionist wants to be smug like that, but I still wanted to help others.
I do not get this comment, could you be more direct?

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 really fucking rich, considering most nihilists I run into want to gobble treats while performatively not caring about anything and effectively living without purpose. Someone being depressed probably cares enough about something that it hurts compared to that, while the apathy enjoyer continually buries such disquiet under consumer products.
That’s the problem with kids today. They’re not happy consuming the treats!
“Why are millennials/zoomers/Gen Alpha killing TGI Fridays?”
“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
Couldn’t be me
SO WHAT IT’S YOUR PROBLEM

DESTROY US — OR MAKE US SAINTS
WE DON’T CARE — IT’S NOT OUR FAULT

AND FUCK ALL THE REST

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.
I feel like it was a TV show
Are you thinking of Generation Kill?
