Gen z really isn’t as progressive as people think

I think half of it is really progressive and the other half wants to live in the 50s again

I think the gen z that are tapped in to politics are overwhelmingly progressive, I just think there’s also a really big apathetic crowd that’s right wing. I don’t think there are many gen z that are really super educated on politics and are also right wing.

I agree. I know so many people who lean more conservative but don’t really say anything. Most of my liberal leaning friends are more outspoken about their views

as someone who’s had to debate both sides for my courses in university, both sides suck, but if i was forced to say one or the other, i’d say i lean more toward the right side, despite me being apathetic towards it all

well the social issues play a part in forming the politics, like i said, both sides suck, but at the same time, i also agree with a lot of what both sides say (like for example i love the renewable energy talk on the left side), i just feel like at the current moment, we have bigger fish to fry. Both sides are so caught up in moral debates and we’re ignoring larger problems, like the economy, national security, infrastructure rather than arguing about personal beliefs and identities endlessly

politics shouldn’t revolve around identity debates when there are bigger national issues on the line

oh very much. i just think there are more ppl on the left with actual policy concern (opposed to culture nonsense) than on the right. perhaps not in our generation but very much for older and more educated people.

just because they’re louder on the left about their concerns doesn’t mean there aren’t also people on the right with concerns

plus personally i don’t care enough to sit and debate. i do it for scholarships and for grades in class, but i’d never spend my free time just yapping about this and that, it’s all kind of dumb to me, why speak when your words won’t incentivize change. Kant said think whatever you want, but obey, and i thought he was silly, but then you have so many different people civically disobeying, protesting, causing disturbances for their beliefs, but has any of it made a difference?

or maybe i should correct my phrasing, words alone won’t incentivize change, and action without power backing it is futile, therefore, since i’m not in a position to bring about change i’ve become apathetic, both sides suck, but if i had to align with one side like a do or die situation, i’d chose the right side
