I did not know there was civil unrest in Madagascar of all places. Geez…
“gen z” is not an applicable term for young people outside the US.
it very much applies in my non-US country
it very much not applies to mine
Wait why not?
because the conditions that made the “baby boomers” or the characteristic “millennials” are almost exclusive to the post-ww2 economic boom in the US.
gen-z is just a name that describes young people. why not just say young people instead of making up generational war nicknames?
No term will ever satisfy everyone. And everyone knows who “gen z” refers to. I’ll not let your semantic wars ruin my day… which is so xennial of me 👓
i just don’t want this generational divide getting to people. (and it’s probably not just young people)
You’re a drop in the ocean fighting an ancient war. Let it go and be free.
not ancient. propagandizing younger generations to weaponize juvenoia is a very recent thing, if you were born in the last 50 years you can remember it, as i do.
we can be better and not help further this suspicious ass agenda.
You could make that case for the boomers, but with the advent of the Internet it’s not really limited to specific countries anymore. Gen z just describes people who grew up with some access to the internet, but not to the extent of alpha. A large part of these recent revolts were caused or accelerated by social media. Gen Z is more specific than young people, and in this case also more culturally relevant.
Doesn’t matter anyway, even if you think Gen Z isn’t real you know what age range the article is talking about.
historically it’s always young people and minorities (of any age) that go out to fuck things up. they are the ones who get the most fucked after all. no need to make generational divides out of it though, it’s not just them getting the short end of the stick.
and not just genz grew up with internet, it’s just that they are the young ones still. shitty fucking propaganda tbh.
So far, the country was transformed into a military dictatorship… I hope, this is only stage 1…
We need to be learning from this what happens when you topple a regime without a plan for what comes next. People who do have a plan are going to step in and take advantage, and the people who did all the work will have wasted their efforts making way for another tyrannical regime. It may have worked out (so far) for Nepal, but it’s not common for military leadership to relinquish power after they have it like they did there.
I wonder what the similarities are between Nepal and the Romanian revolution. That’s the only other one that comes to mind in which, as I understand it, the military defected to the side of the revolutionaries and then ceded power to a new regime
Like China, it probably won’t get past step 1, because power corrupts everyone.
Or Myanmar a few years ago… They promised elections…
Hey, Americans, you watching?
Yeah, I don’t think we should be placing a lot of hope in American Gen Z.
They’re busy getting cucked by right wing manosphere grifters or punishing the Democrat party over a single issue while holding the door open for fascists.
Maybe we should start a TikTok trend of overthrowing governments to get their attention
Yes. They’re watching from their cozy rooms, on their expensive iPhones, eating their yummy snacks. Gonna take A LOT more for Americans to react like Nepal or Madagascar.
“Gen Z” didn’t topple anything. This is coordinated by big money.
Do you have a source I could look into about this? What I’ve seen so far suggests the call came from inside the house, since the people doing the coup are the same ones who installed Andry Rajoelina in the first place after a previous coup.
Thats like, the opposite of Gen Z. Aka Little to No Money.
Very reminiscent of the French revolution, with less guillotines.
