society’s values tend to progress faster than individuals. when a conservative boomer says were “progressive” in their youth, probably all that took was not actively cheering for gay people dying of AIDs. most people’s politics stay the same or even shift somewhat left in certain ways as they age
if you wanna tell apart american gen z from gen alpha, ask them if they know what this is:
gen z used these smartboards and the teacher always made someone recalibrate the touchscreen to the projection when it was off
afaik the new spoiled shits all get these in every classroom, they were rolling em out when i was graduating:
at least in places that can afford it. this might be more true in a few years
it’s definintely higher than that, there’s plenty of americans who support israel but don’t want their taxpayer money being spent on things outside the US
not true, in north america she’s actually the 5th elected female president, and 8th elected female leader overall! (maybe many USians don’t know but North America includes everything above South America, including Central America and the Caribbean)

Costa Rica
Haiti
Honduras (incumbent)
Nicaragua

Bamboula’s Village was an attempt to recreate an Ivory Coast village within the Planète Sauvage zoo in Port-Saint-Père, near Nantes, in France.
In 1994, the biscuit brand Biscuiterie Saint-Michel teamed up with the safari park to create the village, naming it “Bamboula’s Village” after its “Bamboula” chocolate biscuits, which had a black mascot with the same name (a racial slur, dating from colonial times).
Twenty-five Ivorians, including children, were hired for six months to build and inhabit the village. They performed every day of the week, and received pay below the French minimum wage. Dancers were forced to work bare-chested despite bad weather. Performers’ passports were confiscated; most lived confined to their huts (the park gate being closed in the evenings), which provided less space than required by labour law. Children were kept out of school, while medical care was provided by the zoo’s veterinarians.
Anti-racist organisations and unions formed the group “Non à la réserve humaine” [“No to the Human Zoo”] and began legal action against the park. By the time that the court had sent an expert to document human-rights violations, the performers had been ordered out of the country. The village was closed in September of 1994. The park had to pay a symbolic one French franc (€0.15) in damages, plus legal fees. Bamboula’s Village was demolished, and the Bamboula chocolate biscuit was no longer sold.
no the socdems are the one in charge, the “socialist” party is suggesting this
Some of the projects included work from season 3 of the Amazon show Invincible
hype
Hey smartass Germans have been getting faded for a while, it’s been de facto decriminalized for years (aside from in B*vria). Go to any major German city in the past decade or two and you’d smell it as fast as in Cali. If you spent a day in Berlin you’d smell it on the clock lmao
Only half of Americans are against the idea of it lmao
just playing i respect it, personally i think we should aim for this
patsoc spotted amerikkka delenda est
POUR LA VICTOIRE DE L’UKRAINE
goofy mf language but good luck with that lmao
The same shit happened to gen z in like 2016 with leafyishere and Ben Shapiro and all the other anti-SJW shit my middle school classmates had going on. It was a phase for us, hopefully it’s a phase for them too. I watched so many guys in my high school grow out of the edgy conservative stuff and become decent people. I think it’s mainly a young boy with unlimited internet access sorta thing, before college they tend to mature out of it, at least from my experience
Remember a few years ago when reddit was convinced gen z would be more conservative because of polling on like, 13-17 year olds, and a few years later it turned out opposite?
Middle/high school white boys have long been prone to a reactionary phase, that doesn’t say anything about the generation as a whole
In 2020 31% of gen z voters voted Trump (with 28% voter turnout), compare that to 43% of millennials and 46-52% of other generations, that’s significantly less conservative than any other gen. Polling shows 18-24 year olds as the most progressive on social issues by a lot
Huh no we aren’t, we’re arguably miles more progressive than millennials
This would never succeed. Pretty sure the UK is the only EU country that’s polled anywhere close to 50% pro-leave
In the most recent German poll I could find (a few months back, when AfD was polling at similar numbers), only 10% of Germans wanted to leave the EU (and 42% of AfD supporters)
Btw, am I the only feeling the media giving AfD all this attention is having a 2015 Trump effect? My German friends tell me AfD supporters just shout “fake news” at everything, particularly at the mass deportation story. I saw some messages and they were like, “the mainstream media lies, the meeting was between random irrelevants,” “Alice Weidel says immigrant citizens are as German as the rest of us,” “the AfD only wants to deport illegals and criminals.” Sounds extremely familiar, only I think Weidel is a more competent fascist and better at putting a mask on then Trump?
Redditors are mostly millennials and gen x anyways
Surprised Germany is red despite being full of radlibs and the vast majority of young Germans knowing fluent english tbh
Israel? Lying?
undercount, it’s described as a conservative estimate
