I've seen no evidence that GenZ is any smarter or dumber than any other generation. Well, it seems we're all smarter than Millennials :P
What GenZ does have, that no other generation has had, is a life growing up with a fact checker (cell phone) in their hand that they can use faster than anyone else. It's tough to sell BS to someone who can fact check everything you're saying in real time.
I'm not saying all Gen Z is smarter than any other generation. That would be silly. I'm just saying some are smart enough to not be liberals.
Instant access to information definitely has an effect, but the most easily accessible information, especially "fact checkers", are often misinformation propaganda. So people have to smart enough to filter out the BS, but most aren't.
Yes and no. My parents were divorced and my dad wasn’t around too much for the first part of my life, but I had a lot of positive male role models in my family.
My grandpa always taught me to question the status quo. He didn’t buy into the narrative ever.
I’m planning on reading all I can about the Revolution and passing those ideas onto my children. I don’t want what so many died for to be thrown away by communist bastards
Ah, thanks for replying. My mother and I were talking about how a big problem today is men need men, and a whole generation of men were raised by women.
My dad was around; even though we actually have a deeper relationship now that I am out of the house with a family of my own, his willingness to bend over backwards for his children amd his guidance inspired me to want to be a father too.
His father was not around, but he had an uncle that took him under his wing and taught him to be a man.
Then I see your comments and it turns out you too had men who guided you, even if your father did not.
I really think the death of masculinity is something that is direly wrong with our culture. I used to work with kids, one of the few men who did, and I had a mother remark to me once "I'm glad you work here. (My son) has mellowed out so much at home now that he has a guy to spend time with." Both his parents worked and he was stuck all day with old woman in an androgynous environment.
Yeah, I’m a young woman and I definitely see a crisis of masculinity in my age cohort. Actually it’s a crisis of maturity period.
I have friends who are completely paralyzed at the thought of growing up. People want their moms to tell them what to do and expect the world to be handed to them.
It blows my mind that a whole generation failed to parent. Instead they just want to be the cool, hip parents with their kids. My mom always raised me with discipline, much to my chagrin lol, but I feel like boundaries/maturity are foreign concepts to a lot of my friends.
It’s depressing, but hey. There’s some sane people out there to help guide us.
I got to experience the wonder of No Child Left Behind, Common Core, and liberal college professors screeching at me about Trump for 4 years.
It’s a miracle I have free thought!
My nephew ran that same gauntlet, with a bit of help from his Uncle Hamster.
I'm actually impressed by how many in GenZ are based.
In large part, it's due to IQ. Some percentage of Gen Z is smart enough to not fall for the liberal BS.

Did you have a good home life and parents that were involved?
Yes and no. My parents were divorced and my dad wasn’t around too much for the first part of my life, but I had a lot of positive male role models in my family.
My grandpa always taught me to question the status quo. He didn’t buy into the narrative ever.
That may be the most important skill to pass on to the next generation.

It's how my dad raised my siblings and me. I am so thankful. And I honored my dad by passing that on to my four very based kids.

Anyway, im just trying to get thoughts in order.
