GenZ hasn't had enough time to fail so spectacularly.
GenX; the Daria generation of first wordlers who feel they have really seen some shit ...on TV, anyway... all those adults too shellshocked by endless war... oh wait no; just sad about Kurt Cobain still

Oh those poor first worlders reliant on sweat shop kids.
The generation that 10-15 years ago chanted "disrupt!" GenX are now the age those Boomers were 10-15 years ago. Ripe for disruption
There are signs they're being handed their hat; Mamdani in NY. Let's hope this is a real trend: https://fortune.com/2025/08/07/gen-x-ceos-decreasing-baby-bo...
We need to be smart and not knee jerk into feel good memes though. Local gardens and community gardens have higher resource use per acre than large farm ops. Commercial farm infrastructure is far more resilient and lasts longer while consumer gardening gear is cheap and disposable. Consumer gardening gear manufacturers factories burn tons of resources to crank out tons of low quality kit, consumers burn through piles of it. That's not sustainable either.
Plus you really want the average American dumping chemicals in community ground water to grow the biggest pumpkin in the zip code?
Americans need to find common ground on the path forward not fragment into tens of millions of little resource intensive potato farmers
We are a deeply unserious society.
Anyway; good luck going viral online, everyone. I got lucky, have had generational wealth in my back pocket since birth, am off the hook for you by our social norms. Hopefully it works out for you because I and the rest of us won't be engaged in political action on your behalf. Dance for the organ!
There is no narrative coherence to be found demanding the living honor social debts, contracts of history; yes children believe these successes you never witnessed happened! That surely cannot be used for ill gains.
This smells more like self selection bias. You have been successful and thus prefer care be taken tidying up systemic issues created by our ledger.
Am a Thomas Jefferson fan when it comes to generational churn; the only constant political rule should be to rewrite things every couple decades or the living end up ruled by fiat decree of the dead.
