what're some normal podcasts you listen to? this evening i listened to "you're wrong about..." George Michael episode. I've listened to maybe 10 eps, previously have heard her Chris mccandless, Martha Stewart, dyatlov pass episodes among others. feels good to be normal.

I think you would be surprised. Lots of students who consider themselves progressive/left-leaning go to work for ibanks, hedge funds, etc. They don't really think of those careers/institutions in the same way we do. Going to the "top institutions" is just what you do, and McKinsey is like the Harvard of consulting firms.

In the same way as students applied to Columbia/Harvard/whatever as a "top school," the elite banks, consulting firms, hedge funds etc are just the "top jobs" that are the Next Step, unless they're going into either academia (this is probably the best case scenario) or law school. The ethics/morality of it aren't really a consideration.

I think you're right about why this concerns the current ruling class, though. Most of these students will go on to fulfill their roles as our country's elite. But support for Israel isn't at all necessary for the maintenance of our political/economic system. These students will go on to have careers and politics that defend their own way of life, but Israel isn't necessary for that.

I would wager that there's not really any consistent theme to "what politics the zoomers have," and that whatever they believe right now isn't any more predictive of what they'll believe in 10 years than what millennials believed when we were 20 or whatever.

Basically both the optimistic and pessimistic takes from people our age about the politics of "the zoomers" are a bunch of mostly baseless bullshit based off of random stuff we've seen in the media and on the internet. And as is the case with most comments about "what generations believe," there are going to be drastic differences based off the individual's background. A 20 year old Columbia student probably isn't going to be very similar to a 20 year old who couldn't go to college and works in retail or something.

Eh. When I was 20, I was anti war and extremely skeptical of the "Global War on Terror". Hated the Patriot Act and was never for the Iraq War, even when most of the "adults in the room" of 2003 were for it.

At 40, I'm still anti war and extremely skeptical of the Ukraine war and the saber rattling we've been doing with China. Despise the reauthorization of Section 702 and was against Israel's genocidal actions in Gaza from the beginning, even when most of the "adults in the room" of 2023 were for it.

The main differences between now and twenty years ago are that I'm older, much more cynical, and much more left wing (definitely not the DnD style VBNMW type I was in my young adulthood). I had the benefit of a relatively stable and happy '90s childhood, though, so god only knows what commies Zoomers will be when they're our age.

It's the exact same problem as the DSA seeming like it was a viable political force and then going into quiet retirement when Biden won. There were all sorts of things people were eager to criticize under Bush, and Trump, that they abandoned once Obama and Biden won. Even if people think these policies are bad, many of them understand the cause as bad people doing them. When good people are in power, it's complicated, if they talk about it at all.

The liberal-left is still liberal, I suppose is what I'm getting at. The Epic Troop podcasters now love US military adventurism because good people are in charge, it's for good reasons, and it's going to be done right this time.

That doesn't really contradict my point? Not only is there still a pretty big difference between your earlier and current beliefs, but "a non-zero number of people not changing their beliefs" wouldn't contradict with the idea that many/most people will evolve their perspective as they get older and experience different things. And the point I was replying to (that zoomers will be less cynical/ironic) was particularly silly, given that millennials their age included earnest Obama supporters. It's hard to get much more naive and un-cynical than that.

The experience someone has as they become an adult and are finally exposed to the demands of adult life is going to have a big impact on their politics, which is also why I'm very hesitant to characterize "the zoomers" on the basis of a bunch of college students. And that gap will only increase in coming years, as the adult life experience of someone attending an elite institution will differ drastically from any of the other millions of zoomers who find themselves struggling to afford healthcare.

And in general I'm very hesitant to characterize the opinions of a generation based off of some articles and social media posts. It just sets off alarm bells in my head that we're just doing a bunch of meaningless Discourse.
