    Yup.

    Starting to think GenZ/Alpha aren’t going to save us. Not the men anyway. They’re buying into that dogshit hook, line, and sinker.

      Young men need mentors and someone to help them un-weave the confusion that media sows. Give them someone who listens, can relate, and sets an example; so they stop running to extremists voices who are more than willing to accept them and talk to (at) them

      Listen, teach, be an example for other young men. Nobody should be in this alone and we can’t allow young people to slip through the cracks, because someone will be waiting to “help them”, for better or worse

        Not just young men. I’m in the 40+ range and Canadian yet still have at least one friend who’s getting his info from something like Fox and numerous relatives who seem to have succumbed to the brain-worm since Covid

      Millennials are the last generation to not be raised by an algorithm, and also seemingly the only generation that doesn’t get more conservative as they age, so I guess it’s up to us to save the planet.

    • Tbf, Gen Z just has a more “doomer” mindset, they don’t care anymore, they’d happily vote for a far-right, or even a socialist or a communist. I mean 60% of Americans have a positive view of Socialism. Its not really Gen Z being right wing, they are tired of the current system and is deparate for change, ANY change. So… lets hope they don’t choose change into the wrong direction.
