I'm not really surprised that younger people don't like Conservaties, because all they do is get poo poo on by them. Did they think that they could do endless stories about how Millennials were lazy and entitled, and unable to do anything, but then win over them and younger generations with NPC memes or something?

Yes and they were absolutely correct in thinking that?

back to the reason people thought genz were going to be conservative

it was all based on two UK polls in 2016, one that found young people are more careful with their money (means their conservative natch) and the other being the infamous ”The Gild” report

the report was based on an open online quiz people self reported their info and could take multiple times. it found that gen z would be more conservative than the silent generation and that generation x were more liberal than millennials (they took it down after people poo poo on itj

it spawned hundreds of pol memes, candace owen/charlie kirk type tweets and clickbait articles like this

https://www.forbes.com/sites/ashleystahl/2017/08/11/why-democrats-should-be-losing-sleep-over-generation-z/#7f5d6f7b7878

i remember the sam hyde reddit in particular took solace in the fact that generation z storm troopers would save them one day

also from pew,

Ironically, that NPC backfired immensely like most of there stuff.

i know someone who started listening to shapiro 4-5 days a week and has gone pretty much brain worms ("the media is turning everyone gay/trans to further the depopulation agenda" type) and it's kind of fascinating to watch it happen to someone who I had otherwise considered pretty smart

I really don't get how you can watch even one segment of Shapiro and not see the idiocy let alone listening to it religiously and nodding your head along


Reclines Obesily posted:

Every one of them bought into the canard of "haha you'll grow older and have no empathy and be a bitter rage case like me" but they didn't factor in the fact that their ideologies and arguments are so paper thin that an average 14 year old could put them into an internet search engine and see that they are insane bullshit in minutes

like in 2019 you really just have to be a loving brain damaged dipshit to think "trickle down" is a real thing and not just grift on a massive scale. Especially when in 10 seconds you can find:

quote:

The economist John Kenneth Galbraith noted that "trickle-down economics" had been tried before in the United States in the 1890s under the name "horse and sparrow theory", writing:

Mr. David Stockman has said that supply-side economics was merely a cover for the trickle-down approach to economic policy—what an older and less elegant generation called the horse-and-sparrow theory: 'If you feed the horse enough oats, some will pass through to the road for the sparrows.'

quote:

A 2012 study by the Tax Justice Network indicates that wealth of the super-rich does not trickle down to improve the economy, but it instead tends to be amassed and sheltered in tax havens with a negative effect on the tax bases of the home economy.[8]

quote:

A 2015 paper by researchers for the International Monetary Fund argues that there is no trickle-down effect as the rich get richer

like what is the IMF controlled by leftist marxists too

In order to keep the Millennial generation analytically meaningful, and to begin looking at what might be unique about the next cohort, Pew Research Center decided a year ago to use 1996 as the last birth year for Millennials for our future work. Anyone born between 1981 and 1996 (ages 23 to 38 in 2019) is considered a Millennial, and anyone born from 1997 onward is part of a new generation.
