Why Australia’s Gen Z is unlike any voting cohort before it and why every institution built for the old Australia is about to find out.

I found this such an interesting article. Gen Z is a pioneer generation, imv. I hope they lead us to a better society and future.

For those of you who are Gen Z, would you agree with the observations in the article?

    Unfortunately, I’m speaking of experience. I have seen plenty of smart, educated, and kind persons turn into literal Nazis under the influence of propaganda. Hell, there are plenty of examples of that when half of a country went bad.
    Yes, I’m generalizing Gen Z. I’m sure that among them there are plenty of thinking people who are immune to propaganda. My daughter is Gen Z, and I have observed how she was taught in school and university. The whole curriculum is aimed at preventing independent thinking from developing. I understand that this is only one example, but I believe it is systemic. The state does not need thinkers; it needs consumers.
