Reply to comment by catfurcoat in TIL that in 1554 Elizabeth Crofts hid in a wall on Aldersgate Street, where she pretended to be a heavenly voice. Reputedly 17,000 people came to listen to her give out anti-Catholic propaganda. by Kurma-the-Turtle

Well they do have less experience.

Yes, well, I'm at that age where even though I recognize that I have more experience than them, we are also not living in the same world that we were when I was young

No, I suppose not, although it did make some courses in college I took irrelevant 🥲. One thing I admire about gen z though, is their ability to collectively organize. They will need that unity.

Unfortunately, that organization comes from a lack of independent thought. A generation have a wide range of opinions is not a bad thing.

Having the same opinion about society and politics not serving the people anymore is not a bad thing.

Like, sure they all dress the same but does that really matter?

Yes it is. Most of the time these values come with experience. Something that generation doesn't have yet.

We only gave them two political choices: far right or far left. It's not a generational problem it's a systemic problem.
