    Gen Z and Boomers lack critical thinking skills that lead to emotional and poor decisions.

      Don’t forget that Gen X skewed their votes for Trump and Millenials were split 50/50. It’s a lack of critical thinking skills that lead to emotional and poor decisions all the way down in this shithole country.

      That lack of critical thinking skills is a direct and predictable result of everyone’s lack of effort to defend education. They’re victims of this too. We all are.

        True to a certain extent. The education system is trash, but knowledge is out there. There is a lack of curiosity coupled with an in overestimating one’s intelligence. Boomers are an excellent example of the narcissistic belief they’re always wished while gen Z leans more into the lack of curiosity side.

        “Education” is not the solution you people think it is. We need to fundamentally change our culture in order to move in a better direction.

        Greed, entitlement, consumerism, apathy; all of these need to stop being so socially acceptable and easily fewer than 2% of the people I come across ever mention it.

      Same goes for the generation(s) in between.

      The average person is a fucking idiot and gets taken advantage of for it every day.
