Too Dead To Live And Too Alive To Die, Gen Z Is Generation Zombie
BY TS on APRIL 13, 2023 • ( 0 )

An undead generation has emerged — a horde of Gen Z zombies mindlessly marching, ready to mobilize but not thrive.
By Forrest Robinson | The Federalist

Does Generation Z take anything seriously? Earnestness is “cringe,” being in love makes one a “simp,” and ambition makes one a “try-hard.”

There is a “deeper ideology lurking in the minds of younger millennials & Gen Z,” as Esmé Partridge writes, “the rejection of idealism in all its forms.” Disenchanted with the world, plagued by hopelessness and nihilism, we have become a generation of zombies — a group of youth that is too dead to live and too alive to die.

No Purpose or Place
In the 1920s, famed novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald described his lost generation as one that had “grown up to find all gods dead, all wars fought, and all faith in man shaken.”

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

I've been retired about 11 years, so I have no experience with "Gen-Z's"  But if they are half as bad as the lazy millenials that worked for me back in the day, we are doomed.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

I enjoy being that old fart who can show them up...but in the oil patch, slackers do not last long.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I suspect this is regional, here in the Midwest Z's really aren't like that for the most part.
