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

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)

NA countries that have elected a female president (excluding countries where the presidency is only a figurehead role):

• Costa Rica

• Haiti

• Honduras (incumbent)

• Nicaragua

• Panama

NA countries that have elected a female PM (excluding countries where the prime ministry is only a figurehead role):

• Barbados (incumbent)

• Dominica

• Jamaica

unelected leaders:

• Canada (interim PM)

• Haiti (interim president, tried to coup the government)

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

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

Redditors are mostly millennials and gen x anyways

Israel? Lying?

UK?? No chance that’ll pass right?

I agree the EU sucks but most labour voted remain, and the majority of pro-leave people were right-wing bigots. Brexit would be great under socialism, but that wasn’t and isn’t taking form in a neoliberal hellhole like Britain. Brexit was inherently neoliberal and made the UK even worse

fuck over workers and siphon wealth from the poorer eastern member countries to their wealthier western neighbors

The leave campaign was literally “us British have to siphon our tax money to eastern member countries” because the EU makes its wealthier states give money to its poorer states. That and anti-immigrant, xenophobic, racist rhetoric against both eastern Europeans and non-white immigrants brought in from the EU. Literally just fear mongering open borders for allowing “undesirables” in.

Call us the divinely appointed Herrenrasse or you’re a nazi fucking bigot

You sure? I reverse searched it and it was a photo on wikimedia commons from 2014

Heard Israel in general has a culture of rudeness and Tel Aviv especially is filled with some of the most rude, inhospitable locals of any major city out there. They make Parisians look like saints

Cuba is at 57.5%, also one of the highest in the world percentage-wise

What do you think about sources having depicted the Donetsk People’s Republic as a part of Ukraine?

Other way around, they’re basically a US satellite state if anything. Biden said it himself, “if there wasn’t an Israel we would have to invent one.”

Here’s a graph showing the countries that voted most closely in line with the US in the UN across the past couple decades:

The three dots behind Israel are former US Pacific Island territories that are currently US puppet states and officially give away much of their sovereignty to America under COFA. If you exclude those three, Israel aligns itself with America miles ahead of any other country.

When I was in middle school my brother was pissed at me so he replaced every piece of paper in all of my folders with pages of manga he ripped out of my one punch man book

My high school sex ed never taught anything gay or anal. So I knew to wear a condom with my first girlfriend, but until I was a freshman in college (a year ago…) I didn’t realize it’s important to wear one with a guy too. First gay experience, we’d been seeing each other for a month and I thought I was pretty ready, sock on the dorm door and everything, but then bro asked me if I had a condom and I was like “huh?” And obviously I didn’t so he just gave me head instead

For whatever reason I thought condoms only helped in vaginal sex, since that’s the only thing they taught its use for. Didn’t really know how gay and bi men prevent STIs other than monogamy and a few other assumptions. Part of that stupidity was probably just me being optimistic and horny brained about not having to wear anything
