“I wish more Gen Z’ers took seriously that the internet and conservative depictions of millennials (two different perspectives) are both bad. Neither is real; neither is realistic. One is biased because of anonymity and lack of consequences; the other is biased because political and social entities are large in the world and actively work to diminish and harm our generation. Avocado toast is not one of millennials’ primary concerns — that’s a lie. So is most of everything you’ve heard about millennials.”
“I also wish Gen Z’ers knew what they’re about to go through politically. As a generation, we’ve lived through a lot of wild stuff, and Gen Z is on track to live through just as much or more. But we’ve learned lessons the hard way — about money, the state of our society, our political leadership, and what works to effect change and what doesn’t. I would rather that Gez Z didn’t have to learn the hard way but that they take it seriously when we tell them the truth.”
