if you wanna tell apart american gen z from gen alpha, ask them if they know what this is:

gen z used these smartboards and the teacher always made someone recalibrate the touchscreen to the projection when it was off

afaik the new spoiled shits all get these in every classroom, they were rolling em out when i was graduating:

at least in places that can afford it. this might be more true in a few years

Back in 1982, a whopping 43% of fathers admitted they’d never changed a diaper. In recent years, that number went down to about 3%

well damn

it’s definintely higher than that, there’s plenty of americans who support israel but don’t want their taxpayer money being spent on things outside the US

not true, in north america she’s actually the 5th elected female president, and 8th elected female leader overall! (maybe many USians don’t know but North America includes everything above South America, including Central America and the Caribbean)

NA countries that have elected a female president (excluding countries where the presidency is only a figurehead role):

• Costa Rica

• Haiti

• Honduras (incumbent)

• Nicaragua

• Panama

NA countries that have elected a female PM (excluding countries where the prime ministry is only a figurehead role):

• Barbados (incumbent)

• Dominica

• Jamaica

unelected leaders:

• Canada (interim PM)

• Haiti (interim president, tried to coup the government)

no the socdems are the one in charge, the “socialist” party is suggesting this

yea it’s illegal to even lay a finger in most of South America and Europe

Hey smartass Germans have been getting faded for a while, it’s been de facto decriminalized for years (aside from in B*vria). Go to any major German city in the past decade or two and you’d smell it as fast as in Cali. If you spent a day in Berlin you’d smell it on the clock lmao

Only half of Americans are against the idea of it lmao

just playing i respect it, personally i think we should aim for this

patsoc spotted amerikkka delenda est

POUR LA VICTOIRE DE L’UKRAINE

goofy mf language but good luck with that lmao

The same shit happened to gen z in like 2016 with leafyishere and Ben Shapiro and all the other anti-SJW shit my middle school classmates had going on. It was a phase for us, hopefully it’s a phase for them too. I watched so many guys in my high school grow out of the edgy conservative stuff and become decent people. I think it’s mainly a young boy with unlimited internet access sorta thing, before college they tend to mature out of it, at least from my experience

Remember a few years ago when reddit was convinced gen z would be more conservative because of polling on like, 13-17 year olds, and a few years later it turned out opposite?

Middle/high school white boys have long been prone to a reactionary phase, that doesn’t say anything about the generation as a whole

In 2020 31% of gen z voters voted Trump (with 28% voter turnout), compare that to 43% of millennials and 46-52% of other generations, that’s significantly less conservative than any other gen. Polling shows 18-24 year olds as the most progressive on social issues by a lot

Huh no we aren’t, we’re arguably miles more progressive than millennials

My ring fingers are longer than my index fingers AND slightly longer than my middle fingers, does that mean I’m extra male or something? Like XYY?

Ring finger length is correlated to prenatal testosterone but it’s extremely common for AMABs to have longer index fingers (e.g. my ex-bf) and AFABs to have longer ring fingers (e.g. my mom) as well. It’s just a majority that don’t, and not even a very large majority

Lmao that sub is pathetic, the top posts of the week are people whining about subs with obvious progressive/leftist demographics being progressive/leftist

Remind that free speech absolutism wasn’t America’s thing until 1969, and it took a KKK leader being criminally charged for calls of genocide for that to happen

Clarence Brandenburg was charged by the state of Ohio for calling for a mass ethnic cleansing of black and Jewish people and SCOTUS came in to say his “rights were violated by Ohio’s statue” and that “abstract advocacy of violence cannot be punished.” Brandenburg v Ohio became landmark precedent for the most extreme interpretation of the first amendment and is the only reason previous rulings infringing on socialists and anti-war activists’ free speech were overturned

This would never succeed. Pretty sure the UK is the only EU country that’s polled anywhere close to 50% pro-leave

In the most recent German poll I could find (a few months back, when AfD was polling at similar numbers), only 10% of Germans wanted to leave the EU (and 42% of AfD supporters)

Btw, am I the only feeling the media giving AfD all this attention is having a 2015 Trump effect? My German friends tell me AfD supporters just shout “fake news” at everything, particularly at the mass deportation story. I saw some messages and they were like, “the mainstream media lies, the meeting was between random irrelevants,” “Alice Weidel says immigrant citizens are as German as the rest of us,” “the AfD only wants to deport illegals and criminals.” Sounds extremely familiar, only I think Weidel is a more competent fascist and better at putting a mask on then Trump?

Redditors are mostly millennials and gen x anyways
