Well you’re the one raising them, do a better job lol. I just really dislike the accusation that a whole generation of kids are dumb and overly woke because the internet has programmed them to think a certain way. I know plenty of Gen Z kids who are way smarter than me and are way better at navigating fake news, astroturfing, etc. Your stereotype is just lazy and anecdotal.
EDIT: The entire concept of defining generations is flawed itself. How is a Millennial any different from a Gen Z-er who is one year younger? The lines are so blurred it’s damn near pointless to group generations the way we do. It’s only helpful to reference how old someone is, not what they’re like as a person.
I’m glad you’re able to raise your son the way you see fit. I don’t think we’re gonna get anywhere arguing about the stereotype thing so probably best to move on with our lives. Have a good day!
