I am aware that fedi in general has an older user base than other social networks, but I’ve seen a few very upvoted posts recently that seem to blame young people for the current rise of fascism despite older generations still making up the vast majority of conservative and fascist voters in most countries.

Is this just a result of this being a bubble for older lefties not perceiving younger lefties or is there something else going on here?

    Initially I didn’t trust gen Z because stats say they didn’t drink enough. Now it’s looking like they just lied about it and I have started to respect them a bit more.

      I don’t believe that, virtually all the gen-z drink less than I did at that age, and way less than my parents did.

      I got absolutely hammered in my youth. Basically every weekend throwing up.

      I am so happy living in a generation and location where now the absolute Norm is: if you buy something with alcohol buy something for the people that dont drink alc.

      Edit: I am Gen Z

      You might wanna add /s to your comment or you’ll be downvoted to shreds.

        If people think it’s a serious comment that’s on them. Their downvotes mean nothing to me.

          No! Your comment was supposed to be sarcastic and funny, so it needs a “/s” and a laugh track. My comment has no tone indicators, so you can tell I’m being super serious.
