They say that hard times create strong men, so are these current times hard times? And is Gen Z a generation of strong men? It's clear generation z has real struggles, and unique problems unfaced by recent past generations, but gen-z and their challenges need to be explained, because they are not what you think. Is generation-z actually hopeless?

Great video. 👍 Can you do a video on Distributism? And what are your thoughts on Pat Buchanan?
I'm Brazilian... and I follow a Brazilian TH-camr who moved to the United States to study at a university in Florida, one of his main complaints in relation to Americans is that young Americans (in other words, Generation Z from the United States ) are "bizarrely immature", the feeling he (as a foreigner) is of dealing with "children in adult bodies".
His main complaint is that younger Americans appear to have been spoiled too much and that they are alienated and unprepared for the adult world, and apparently this complaint is not just his but that of other immigrants from Latin America and Europe too.
He complained about the lack of dialogue and social interaction among Americans... like... you are very cold compared to us, Latin Americans... I think this goes into Monsieur Z's complaint about the lack of social interaction
Officially, according to demographers, the generation z starts on 1st january of 1997 (although all the way upto 31st december of 2003 is also referred to as the zillennial generation). Are you a part of the generation z, monsieur dean?
“We’re not in hard times, we’re spoiled with inconvenient times”
Buddy, I’m in college debt after spending it on learning a career that now demands experienced workers only, cars are out of the average price range, inflation is up 21%, and I’m barely making ends meet while working 3 minimum wage jobs because higher paying work places won’t hire me. Get your smug ass TF outta here, you don’t know shit ignorant MF…

Yeah. It's a real mystery why Gen Z is struggling and radicalized.
Me as the oldest a Gen z can be it’s struggle to really carry on any more
Gen z and millennials live with their parents into adulthood. Usually rent-free, complain about money, yet both groups spent the most on luxury goods 😂 like fashion etc additionally the eating out instead of cooking. I'm a millennial and found success while both parents are dead as a minor HAD NO HELP. Peers when I was younger would act better than me because they were going to university, so I find it funny af that you both are whining and are too childish to do anything for yourself. I find both generations suffering COMICAL. you are exactly like the rest. All of you act smart and special but non of you are.
I agree with the sentiment of the video, but radicalism is expected and healthy.
We NEED radical change to fix our problems much more than we need pragmatism. The real problem is that everyone is so used to pointing the finger at others to do it.

Something to add is that while people have a point that things aren't terrible right now from a material perspective, they are likely going to get worse. Mr. Z videos introduced me to Kaiserbauch and the extent of global population decline is going to create harder times ahead.
TL;DR: “I know things are bad right now fam, but it’s gonna get a lot worse”
If we (gen Z) get our shit together it doesn't have to.
@@maxfinazzo2443It will get worse egardless, but at least if you have your shit together you have some slack to weather the storm.
If you look at fertility of Gen-Z people are going some of the hardest times in all of human history. If a generation doesn't reproduce, nothing else matters. It is an extinction level event. It doesn't matter if people have phones or can watch movies at the touch of button. All that is irrelevant about how well a generation is doing. Bragging about how many toys we have is the equivalent of fiddling while Rome burned. It would be better to have been born in the Great depression or during the dark ages. Who cares about how many electronic gadgets we have? They don't matter. What matters is if people can take care of their families and raise another generation. If you don't reproduce then you are done. Evolutionary dead end.

@@Novusodthe oldest Gen Z has just hit 27 which is the a bit below average age of marriage for men to be married since the late 1880’s in America (boomers were an exception.

One of the things a lot of us grew up without is a present father. Something I picked up was, "become the father you needed growing up" and, that's helped motivate me.
dont have kids till the system changes or you are just flipping a coin on your future.... thats right! its 50/50 chance you end up divorced and alienated from your kids.
My father was in basic training when my mother moved us out of the city we were in, then when he deployed, she moved us out of state...TWICE (once from the state we lived in to Arizona, then to Ohio after a month of being able to at least talk with our dad for 5 minutes for the both of us(including my brother) every night)...I miss the Black Hills...got this borning ass glacial plain....
Exactly the same for me I looked at it as a positive he was a negative role model. I just ask in any situation what would my dad do and then I do the opposite lol
I have to push back some on the manual labor low skill or medium skill jobs especially the lower skilled jobs I'm a dairy farmer and we simply cannot get any American citizens to do work like milking cows even for 22 bucks an hour with overtime and you are 60 hours a week so it's actually decent money The reason why is very simple They all go on disability and work a part-time job under the table So they actually end up with more purchasing power and have to work far less. I live in a very poor area in northern New York in the amount of people here that are on disability is absolutely astounding and it all happened after the early '70s when the few manufacturing plants left here about 45% of those people that worked in the factories are now on disability and have been for most of their would have been working lives. They would do the work if it was more respectable and if there was no option for disability I really think we need to seriously tighten up the disability options. I know tons of people that are on disability because they quote have a bad back and they're in their mid-thirties and they have a under the table carpentry business where they're hauling shingles up a ladder and all kinds of other very physical things that you would never be able to do if you're back actually was that bad.

I litteraly wrote this under a video where Asmongold is caling Gen Z lazy and stupid. I'll repost here:
Its not exactly our fault.
Henry Ford started making cars by disassembling machines and putting them back together. When he had enough practice he started making his own cars.
Guess what?
Its illegal to disassemble most phones. When you buy them you have to agree to a contract that forbids you from modifying it. Or even repairing it in any store that doesnt belong to the phones parent company.
I cant be Henry Ford becouse im not allowed to be.
And its not just mechanics, the programs too.
At the beggining of computer technology most programs where open source and if you owned it you could modify it, look at its workings etc.
Most programs these days operate as apps, you cant look inside them, you cant access command panels, you cant modify them. And the interactivity is dumbed down.
Its not my fault that the first computer i got was when i was 18, its not my fault that my mom only wanted apple products. Its not my fault that i had an iphone (passed down from my mom when she got a newer one).
I learned to swim at the age of 4 and by the time i was in elementary school i was competing at state level.
How?
1- there are pools where i live
2- my grandfather knew how to and wanted me to know how to
3- i was taught gradually the basics how to do the movements first, then doing them in the water, then holding my breath, then learning from a proffesional coach, then finnaly competing as a junior athlete.
4 when my grandpa believed i knew enough, he would throw me overboard at the center of the lake.
Imagine if you skip all that and go straight to the lake.
You would drown.
Gen Z has this situation with computer technology.
To use the swimming analogy, imagine sailing on a boat from before you can remember, but never swimming with your arms and legs. Suddenly you get thrown overboard and as you drown people call you lazy and stupid: "how can you not know how to swim when you spend all the time on a boat?"
And it applies to many other things.

@@--Morpheus-- Society does. And just like use the word "kid" to cetegorise. Generations are also a way to categorise and have shared experiences and same time frame/context.
@@--Morpheus-- i didnt take it as such either.
Perhaps dismissive but not as an insult.
What i pointed out is that this is also a categorisation.
Thus categorisations are what we all (humans) use to understand the world and critisizing someone for using categorisations is pointless.
You can critisize a category for being too broad or too narrow for the issue, but categories themselves are crucial for any talk about society (wich itself is a category).
I wasnt making an anti "calling people kids" point.
I was making a "categories are good actually" point.

This is a very dangerous attitude. Modern westerners of all ages are entirely too proud and haughty.
If you don't fear and obey God, your time in the sun will likely be very short.
The problem with all Gens is that they're too idealistic, ideological. Zoomers may be idealistic ( the Trad Life, Red Pill, and woke stuff), but there is some emergent light of pragmatism in our generation. Instead of asking what society should be some Gen Z's are starting to ask what society is.
Exactly, less radicalism, more pragmatism.
@@MonsieurDeanthing is, is our species pragmatic? At all?
Is our species rational? Is our species moral? Is our species orderly? We're imperfect creatures, yet me must aspire for better things.
@@MonsieurDean I agree, we have Christianity for that, but we still live in a fallen world. We must live in the world, not be of it.
But don't forget, we have stewardship of this world while we inhabit it. It is our responsibility.
One thing that helps me stay motivated is to think more about my future than my present. If I start feeling laziness creeping in because I need to study or I need to do manual labor, instead of thinking about how hard that's going to be, I think about how if I do these things now I'll live a better life in the future.

The problem isn't that things today are hard when compared to the rest of history but that every day is worse than the last. People can get through tough times when there's hope that things will get better, but all my generation knows is decline.
I think the real solution is for people to stop living online. Social media continues to perpetuate degeneracy in all parts of our lives.
I'm GenX and I've felt that entire GenZ list for my entire life.
The silent gen and BBrs were supposed to be the 'strong generations' because they dragged themselves out of a depression and a couple of big wars. I would assert that these accomplishments and the generation(s) as a whole were subverted by industrialization, globalization and very bad policies implemented by them!
Our leaders are mostly BBrs and that is just making a bad situation worse. We need some Xrs and Yrs in our politics and let the strong generations of X and Y help the Zs in this terrible system that the BBrs have created.
I don't want to point fingers and be divisive but the GenZ today have been handed a pile of shit and are told if they don't like eating it they are just complainers. I call BS.
nah bro boomers and silent gens were made after the war
The illusion of strength is, in my view, a consequence of the "you're special, you will do great" promises.
Bingo.
Oh, God. Z’s gone from talking about geopolitics to social politics.
But seriously, everything you’ve said is 100% true. The isolationism of Gen Z is why Gen Z, more than any other generation alive, is turning to religion, specifically High Church settings (Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, etc.). They want to be part of something bigger than themselves, something that pushes them to be better. Ironically, older Gen Z-ers want a struggle, whether it’s manual labor or, hell, even war. Gen Z romanticizes the overcoming of obstacles (that’s where you say we need more pragmatism to which I agree). Yes, “get the damn thing done.”
I’m in the “middle age” of Gen Z (just out of high school) and that’s spot on. I was raised Evangelical but I’m becoming either Catholic or Anglican in the near future. I know I’m not gonna be as well off as my parents, but I’ll find a way to afford taking care of a wife and kids. All my ancestors did it, so can I.
gen z becoming more religious because they think science is too complicated the bible or Quran has more simple and relatable explanations about the origin of our world .
Gen Z is not turning to religion
I guess it depends where you are. In my place there's more atheist or agnostic gen Zs than religious Gen Zs
@@ferns9555 It does depend heavily on location
Zoomer here. Never asked a girl out. Have had gfs but the dynamic was weird bc they chased me. Somehow I’ve never had confidence regardless. Going to try my best to change this.
It’s ok, relationships are tricky and wild. Take pride in knowing you have something other people find attractive. I think you will do well, you probably have a confidence you just don’t realize you have.
Dont ask chicks out, only take the ones that want you first. (just improve your mind and body until it happens, but tbh, western women arent really viable imo.)
Dont worry lads we will overcome all our problems world needs us
As my nihilist uncle used to say, "you are going to die regardless and return to the nothing before birth. How long you live or how good it was, means nothing when you are dead. Thus, you can fight for a better world, or show the world the finger. Doesnt matter one bit". I am not entirely sure if this was supposed to be a moral story about talking chances against those with power, but Ill take it.
Morty? Is that you?
I hate that sentiment. I’m Catholic, but for the sake of argument let’s say God doesn’t exist. There are still people that will come after me, I should do my best to make their lives better than mine.
That's not true if everyone shows the world it's finger then it has consequences for everyone.
@@therealcouchpotato9560 However, if there is no God, the universe will eventually die off. Everything returns void, no matter what any of us do.
Your uncle is as you said a nihilist.
The issue isn't that people don't want the hard labor jobs, the problem is the hard labor jobs don't pay what they used to and the office/tech jobs make obscene money for pretending to work. No one wants to sweat their balls off in the dirt for 80 hours a week to not even afford to buy a house. If you can't afford a house you can't put your roots down to start a family.
Gentlemen, there is a solution you're not seeing
(Blows up his head)
I think something that is heavily looked over is quite literally everything that is out of Gen Z's control, especially the technological advancement of the world. Something without real emotions, that isn't alive should never be able to have governance and that is what things are coming to. The older generations are the ones who are in control of such, and as such there is nothing we can do about the decisions they make and their actions will ultimately effect our futures in a way that is completely overwhelming.
basically
We’re nowhere near hard times as is, but we’re spiraling down to them as is.
One of gen z biggest problem is demographic replacement
Actually
Few know this
no it isn't, believe everything the media says
do not think for yourself.
@justinian536 what media is covering this issue, all I've seen is the Media saying we need more foreigners in my country and if you want to preserve your people your racist. Forget that I will always strive to preserve my people, the dilution of my people and culture is unacceptable.
@@cimmerian_savage9736 b-but the media told me that wanting to live in a society with your people is racist!!!!
Truly hard times are an inevitability, but the size and scope of these is determined by what people do now. That applies to the ruling class AND the Zoomers.
I'm not even a father yet, but I'm already building an inheritance for them AND preparing a wealth of wisdom and knowledge for them to use and appreciate.
We are in hard times, but there are no strong men.
Strength has to be incentivized. Need stimulus.
Shut down the electric grid, the internet, cell towers, etc, and watch people become strong again out of necessity.
@sullathehutt7720 my generation (gen z) wouldn't know what to do,for the most part-they're scared of guns,they don't know how to actually defend themselves and they have terrible awareness due to attention problems caused by short form content. Not only this,but survival problem solving and the ability to do the dirty work. But it's not just my generation,a majority of people as a whole will die within the first couple days,old,young-they won't know what hit em. Me? I got stuff planned for the most part,but I can always improve on that plan.
Strong men and women are where the stubborn is at, to point you at a place as an example I give you Ukraine.They are staunch fighters for their homeland and are not letting weak 'spectacle bots' get in the way of their morale in their fight. In the U.S., you need to evaluate for yourself whether who you see is strong or not. Whether they are a city person who is ready to jump the gun to get to a better standard or condition from where they are, or are they trying to build up on what they have and capitalize on their gains. Anyhow, trust me. If you try to take away from their objective, or try to twist their arm they will not go down easily.

Venezuelan Gen Z here, it it is kind of accurate that it is said in this video, however, we are just living in a world wide crisis from a system that it's cracking due to the present time, in addition to present problems we have, yet we also have infantilization of adults being present everywere, everyone is just scared of reaching 30 years old or just naturally getting old to eventually die and the cycle goes on.
As an older millenial who grew up in the former soviet union i saw an empire crumbling down first hand.
There are many factors involved for declining of an empire but the biggest problem aside from bad leadership is simply apathy of the people who are part of this declining empire.
I don't have the feeling gen Z is apathetic. Quite the opposite Gen Z is rather radical. One of the biggest problems of gen Z is the fact they are a very small generation and they can't overrule the gerotontocracy because they are simply such a small generation.
But as mentioned in the video here radicalisation without the right actions and pragmatism leads to nothing but suffering.
But i still can understand why Gen Z is so furious when it comes to the previous generations especially boomers.
It is like all the generations before them got a barthday cake on their birthday but Gen Z is "allowed" to eat the wooden table the cake is presented on.
Realistically it’s up to millennials to change the world as their population will overshadow gen z just like the boomers overshadowed Gen X.
Honestly the big fear is that the bad times are around the corner. That sure the times now are inconvenient yet they’re getting worse. Yet there is no guarantee that the times will in fact get worse. We should stop waiting around for the times to get worse and act now while we still have something left.
I agree that economically we’re just in “inconvenient times.” However, culturally speaking, we are arguably in the worst time in American history. Hookup culture, pr0n, the LGBT movement, abortion, social media addiction, etc. are all things that maybe previous generations fought individually or intermittently, but there are very few countries which have experienced all of these at once. The only other one I can think of off the top of my head is Weimar Germany. However, that doesn’t mean Gen Z isn’t responsible. We are in as much as we continue to tolerate that which runs contrary to our cultural norms.
Material prosperity, spiritual hard times.
Okay, but who's promoting that in every western country? Like those who promoted it during Weimar Germany.

As a someone who grew up poor but still managed to go to a college away from home, it truly rocked my world seeing how carefree people my age (18-25) live, my biggest issue with kids my age is EGO so many of us have no concept of hard work hard times hunger pain anything like that, the constant denial of reality is toxic, people see the work through social media and they refuse to learn throw experience. Nothing but complaining crying and bullshiting. Sad men everywhere.
Most of them are raised by women. What did you expect? Most single mothers are single because they aren't relationship material. They don't even have to be bad people, just can't hold on to a relationship. Many single mothers complain and mope about their position, making the hardworking ones that don't complain look bad, and the hardworking single mothers are seen in a bad light by the lazy, entitled ones that think the man they want will just magically materialize and don't put in effort to find a man. Single fathers do far less blaming and complaining and are better parents, and their kids turn out better than kids of single mothers on average.
Maybe some people feel helpless because their concerns aren't addressed or taken seriously. Mr. Z mentioned lousy jobs, exorbitant housing, doomsday politics, etc. If one speaks out, they're called radical & spoiled. If they regress and resort to apathy, they're called lazy. I guess it comes down to which camp you want to live in.

It's easy for everyone to be indifferent to the main dish, but they always flock to the hot new alternative to hate or love it.
Ive just recently became an adult a few months ago, and a large issue is how you said "children raising children." I am biased. My mother isnt emotionally developed. We have been spoiled. We have been taught to be children. Alot of genz dont know how to cope or sustain themselves because they were never taught how. We are a generation of neglect.
The perception that someone needs to be a homeowner and essentially be part of a 'middle class' that doesn't really exist any more as a social class before they start a family is a major problem affecting many men and women alike in Gen Z. It's just not realistic and will lead to a lot of people being lonely and unhappy. In past generations, there might have been a tiny number of snooty people (relative to the total population) that thought that way but it wasn't nearly as endemic as it is now.
Well you kinda need to have a home to start a family since that's the safer option. Why do you think g l o b a l i s t s inflated home prices so much?
@@Wendeta-hq2cp Yes, you need a home for your family but acquiring a home without owning one is achievable. It would be nice if we could go back to home ownership being attainable to virtually anyone willing to work for it but that's literally never going to happen. If there is a conspiracy to achieve that, it has been achieved.
@@George713M
I mean yeah, but things done can be undone. History has undone more difficult situations and Mr. Z did himself outline the solution to it (either the Boomers pass on, or i m m i g r a t i o n is reduced, and the latter is actually quite achievable considering T r u m p will be back in the driver's seat).
@@Wendeta-hq2cp I really don't think Trump will win the election. Even if he does, the cost of living won't go down although immigration will probably be curtailed somewhat. Boomers passing is inevitable, yeah, but when home ownership becomes increasingly cost prohibitive, it probably won't make that much of a difference. If the government set price controls on houses for sale or rent that might stabilize things but that's not really part of either party's agenda. Democratic politicians like what's going on. It makes them feel good. Republican politicians would view that as 'socialism' (even though it's no more socialistic that rationing during WW2 or something like that) and their base wouldn't tolerate it. (Sorry for the text wall, has been a thought-provoking conversation)
@@Wendeta-hq2cp My reply isn't showing up, unfortunately. IDK, maybe it was too long. (summary) Trump probably won't get elected. Even if he does, the cost of living won't go down in a meaningful way. Democratic leadership obviously won't fix anything, but Republican leadership won't either. (added) It's very important for people to stop thinking that they need to own a house before starting a family, for their own sake, otherwise the degree of loneliness and isolation will get far worse going into the 2030s.
A lot of this isn't limited to Gen Z. Younger millennials have a lot of these psychological issues as well which hold themselves back. Covid definitely setback our collective social skills.
In some ways we are living in the best of times, but cheap consumer products is traded for a job market where workers are treated as regrettable costs to be cut: laid off and if possible replaced with cheaper alternates. That's a tough trade-off.
It's not that we are the strong men, it's that we must be the strong men or the destruction of the world as we know it will follow.

Why tf would I contribute to a system hell bent on bending me over like a 2 dollar hooker? Just gonna buy some cheap property overseas, build a compound and chill while the dollar still has a declining value. If it all goes well I have nothing to worry about, worst case I have a secure home and a cache of survival gear.
I hear the older gens preaching, but when I look around me and compare what they SAY to REALITY the math ain't mathin. Fuck it, not, my, problem m8. 😂

Gen z is the first generation to have their identity appropriated by people all over the world.
Nah, I can't cosign that.
To this day I’m blessed that I was born in 2001 and grew up poor enough not able to afford a smart phone till highschool, didn’t even have home wifi till I was 9 years old. Crazy to thinks that’s a blessing but Covid happened half way through my freshman year of college.
Looking at kids my age or younger who grew up with money it’s almost impossible to even communicate.
Kids about to be men are so scared of addressing people and their own feelings it’s sick.

🫡
I'm not Gen Z. So forgive me if I am speaking out of line. But here is my take on this.
Gen Z absolutely did get the short end of the stick in the short term. You guys are a small generation in a country where the two largest generations we've ever had (Baby Boomers and Milennials) were older than you and already had a work history by the time the oldest of you was turning 18. I got absolutely fucked when it came to getting gainful employment and I'm "higher on the totem pole" than Gen Z as a virtue of having 15 years of work experience. You guys also got the short end of the stick in that society kind of treated you guys as a social experiment. I was 14 when social media went onto mobile devices. I didn't even have social media until I was 18, almost 19. Some time around 2007, society asked, "What happens when you give 2 year olds the internet?" and called it Gen Z. What we've found out in the 15ish years since they asked that question is that its broadly not good for the mental health of kids to see others at their highest, happiest moments and compare it to the everday experience of your life.
My sympathies to Gen Z for both of these things. These actions were effectively crimes committed against you.
But here's my thing. All these problems;
being locked out of corporate jobs because of experience requirements on entry-level positions.
Finding gainful employment in general.
Not being able to provide for a family and having weirdly wishy washy, and sometimes man hating girls as "potential wives"
Being low man on the totem pole in the labor market.
These things all hit me and my generation just as hard or harder than it has hit you guys. It just happened to you guys when you were younger. You guys will almost certainly outlive these not exceedingly bad times. But still not good time. I may not. I was in my teens when this stuff all started to go wrong. You were either under 10 or unborn. You will outlive these not good times. My Gen Z girlfriend will outlive these not good times.
If you are Gen Z. I encourage you. Go get a "dirty" but high paying job. Go succeed. Go get yourself ahead. Go get to the point where socialization is manageable. You CAN do it.
Intro sounded like peter zeihan ngl. But thnx
Minor correction for you. Most gen z got the internet around 7ish. The REAL damage is millennials handing their toddlers phones as digital pacifiers. Now THAT is some scary shit when you see the results long term. Ask me how I know.
@RAMZAVFX If I am being honest, I have listened to Peter Zeihan a good little bit. But at least as far as I have been able to research, he's right on with the stats. So, I guess give credit where credit is due.
But protesting is "fed posting" amiright?
100% agree, especially about the mentality and willingness to do stuff and face challenges. Thats something a lot of my generation lacks with a handful of exceptions.
That said while I do agree that we are in the Inconvenient Time Im still preparing for a Hard Time to come. Most of Gen Z is early to mid 20s, theres still a lot of life in us and we'll live to see a lot

@@MonsieurDean Np
Idk, what you’re saying is objectively true. If people did take responsibility things would get better but I see 0 historical precedent of people spontaneously abandoning decadence
All this video really proves is that we’re in the “good times create weak men” phase instead of the “weak men create bad times” phase
Personally I never saw this as hard times, I’ve always said “It can and will get much worse”, and frankly I don’t see how the current factors don’t make that inevitable
Edit: minor spelling error, hate typing on phone
Indeed
The tech is what facilitates the decadence.
Tech can be broken.

In short, helicopter parenting and bulldozer parents - saving the kids from uncomfortable / painful lessons needed to build social skills and abilities if I'm understanding you correctly.
Bro really put his hand on our shoulder and told us “it’s only the beginning”
Great video, and thought-provoking. I'm going to share this will my high school students. Much of this points to the fact that we have a society of children now. Children focus only on what they want and how they feel. Children do what feels good rather than delaying gratification in favor of more success later. Children gratify themselves rather than sacrificing for others, or for the future. Children wear what's comfy rather than dressing with dignity. Children avoid uncomfortable truths, confrontation, and patience. Children seek to change others, not themselves. Children feel sorry for themselves, justify their own behavior, and blame others for all their problems. This is the childish mindset of two generations of Americans raised my insecure parents.
This sounds like a dude who came from a family who gave him everything he wanted.

9:15 I find the issue of the newer generations “being too good for labour intensive jobs” so interesting.
I’m 17 and telling myself I’m too good for a lazy office or service work 😂
A good life isn’t an easy life, a good life is a life that is hard worked for and where the comfort equals or is slightly lower than the cost.
The only reason I’m currently unsatisfied with my life is because I’m bound to my conditions until I’m an adult and can finally have my own responsibilities and freedoms to do what I need to do.
I think it has to do with how many of us are raised. Go to college or else you will end up in a labor job (which was implied to be low paid, low prestige, not secure, etc.). So almost everyone went to college and now feel entitled to a white collar job (to be fair, that was promised) but whoops we screwed up
@@danshakuimo Fair enough, I just never bought the lie.
Even if the situation looks bleak sometimes I think a good way of going about this is leading by example. If I take steps to make my own life successful it will influence others around me to do the same, especially if I don't talk so much and just quietly and efficiently get things done. I believe attaining a well-paying job, starting a family, and becoming a home-owner are doable. It just requires the right attitude and mental/financial discipline to do so.
Absolutely, that’s the spirit!
Keep up the good work 🎉🎉🎉

@@MonsieurDean🤗
This generation needs Hard times.
Only after hard times can prosperity return.
Hard times will reduce the population, thus force men to assume leading roles and women to assume their role as mothers.
Less population means better pay and more opportunity = better times.
Our generation's problem is not their character, its simple economic stagnation.
When I think about our world, 'empty' is the word that comes to mind. We have a shit-ton of leisure, but it's empty, served by the algorithm, enjoyed privately. Work is empty, while a white-collar worker is less exploited then the industrial revolution era blue-collar worker, he is even more alienated from his labour. Stock market is empty, bubble after bubble, borrowing already borrowed money. Life is easier than it used to be, but it's tangebly less 'real'
On one hand I agree with much the advice you give to Gen Z as being sound advice. On the other hand, I haven't heard any of them complain about not being willing to do labor jobs, instead most of them complain about the inability to ever afford to own a home given the current real-estate market and wages of even good jobs.
Given most of the urbans areas (at least in Canada) are charging rent prices that meet or exceed mortgage rates, it does seem fairly accurate to me. My wife and I afforded a house only because my work hands out overtime like candy and so I could spend a few years raking the OT and making over 100k/yr and then add that to my wife's wages. Even then, we only afforded house over condo because we had the support of both of our sets of parents.
I am not American, but your neighbor to the north. A lot of the talk of hard times and animosity comes from being able to look at policies and strategies that were instituted by the Baby Boomer generation, with most of the benefits aimed at benefiting them while the costs of said policies fall disproportionately upon the younger generation.
Our increase in yearly immigration from high 100,000s to over 400,000people, the nearly 1million foreign students that are coming to our nation each year for post secondary education. The immigration is to keep the pension program from collapsing and the foreign students are cash cows. Meanwhile it isn't possible to our construction sector to catch to that level of immigration. You assume average family size of 4 and that means that just the immigrants to our nation need 100,000 new homes every year, nevermind what the domestic population needs.
Then trying to apply for loans and you look at how credit scores are determined. How is it that someone can faithfully pay a rent that is equal to or greater than most mortgage payments for years and that counts nothing towards their credit score.
Even up here with our public healthcare program, while we don't have a financial burden from it, we have a significant portion of a population that does not have a family doctor. Walk-in clinics, especially in urban settings are stretched thin and we even have ER doctors who write articles in the papers talking about how they face burnout from the sheer number of people coming into the ER that should be going to family doctors for the issue.
So the point I am aiming at here, is that this may not be a time of utter ruin for them (or even us millennials), we are not having to rebuilding from the ashes of nothing. What we it though is a time darkness. A time when there is legitimate hardship that has been caused by the mismanagement of a prior generation that was overall...to be blunt....narcissistic. Maybe it is because my wife and I are starting out own family, but my goal (and I thought the goal of every generation) was to attempt to leave the place in a better condition for the next generation than you received it. I don't want to make my children's life softer, but I want to make sure that the conditions they find themselves in are better, and the opportunities plentiful. I do want to be able to provide a better safety net, so if they do fuck up, it won't be that they are screwed for future prospects.
Trying to make the best of these situation is what gen Xers tried to do. Did things get better? No. Radical change is needed.

I need to be grateful for that, but damn does complaining look pretty appealing sometimes, especially since it feels like all my friends and family want to discuss is how everything is stacked against us. I try to say something like “yeah, it sucks, but what’re you gonna do? Sometimes a generation gets shafted, no use crying about it.” Even if I partake in the complaining.

“The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage
“These words were written two years before George Washington became our first President. There is so much truth in these words it makes me shudder, especially since we are clearly in stage 7.

Mister Z. I have been a viewer since I was in 8th grade. I am now in senior year of college. And i feel that after watching this video it would be appropriate to let you know how much of a profound impact your videos have had upon my way of conceptualization.

Pal, that means so much! Genuinely, I’m so glad I’ve been able to be a part of your life like that.
I think that you are mostly right, but that the current situation of inconvenient times is unsustainable. And I mean that in an economic sense. There will likely be a real economic crisis soon with either the government defaulting on its unplayable debt or something else.
When that happens, we will likely see who the “strong men” are, with those who can do the things you mention here swimming while those who can’t will sink.
Then it will be up to those who made it to build a new status quo, and the cycle will repeat.

As an elder millennial, i can tell you first hand that everything you said about gen Zs percieved starting point, based on what they were taught about society and the world v what theyve experienced is the exact same thing millennials have experienced.
Ive worked in a very public field for well over a decade now. I know thousands of people and their stories and theres like a social dividing line between life experiences; of those born before and after 1980. Which aligns with the rise of Reagan and the western worlds Neoliberal/globalism takeover, followed by the eastern worlds similar takeover after the wall came down in 89.
Much is policy, like you described in the intro, and props for making that distinction. Most, simply, don't and lump social change into the same category as concerted governmental decision making - which is by design, this mass conflation, as evidenced by all the disgusting theatrics on the hill.
In reality, equal rights for gay and trans people (survivors benefits, adoption, etc), birth control (fundamentally libertarian; womens freedom and autonomy over their own bodies), and the backlash against police brutality = social issues. These things have almost zero effect on your life and your choices. Gay marraige doesn't demean straight marriage, the actions of straight people already do that with the 50%+ dovorce rate. The thing about social issues, is its NOT zero sum. No one loses by raising the floor.
But the moneyed interests, theu offshoring, refusing to reinvest in infrastructure or employee development (shouldering that cost onto the employee by demanding unnecessary degrees) have destroyed the middle class. Right now, in the year of our lord 2024, if you dont annually earn a million dollars, you arent middle class. You are the working poor. To live the quality of life my ww2/Korea vet, sole income, grandfather provided = buying cars for his 4 kids, a car for gma, a sports car for fun, a vacation home, a boat, annual vacations, golfing 3x a week, you need that income.
The gutting of the dollar and the wringing dry of the workers has been brought to us by policy and the bankers. If youre pissed off about the economic outlook of your life, dont blame social issues, blame business for breaking the social contract and politicians for selling us out.
Every president since Reagan has been neo-liberal. Clinton and Obama included. The fight isnt left or right, the fight is UPWARDS.

It’s not that we are the men born in hard times. I think we haven’t even began the hard times. These are just the birthing pains and we are about to be thrown into something we can’t imagine. We are just men preparing for the hard times yet to come.

These hard times are going to hit Millennials and Gen Xers too, so we're all going to have to harden up together or else we're screwed.

I actually had plans for major reforms. Since our country seems to be somewhat in a dip, I was thinking that we should throw the shackles off of the past and move forward with the future.
Since this generation (Generation Z) is giving up on finding meaning, I was thinking of land reform and allowing said generation to own 4 acres of land which they can help raise their crops and livestock along with their families and neighbors. The plan is to stabilize as much as possible by giving the generation something to work with even if that labor is manual.
