Only 9 percent of Americans younger than 30 have a “very positive” view of capitalism, according to a new CBS/YouGov poll.
That shows a stark generation between Generation Z and older generations.
The data arrives amid a surge in democratic socialist victories across the U.S. — and not just in progressive corners of the country. Florida state Rep. Angie Nixon (D) on Tuesday beat out the more moderate Alex Vindman (D) in the Democratic Senate primary in Florida, a state known for its sunshine, not socialism.
Buddy, I work at a college. I see these kids and young adults spouting anti capitalist phrases while carrying every name brand possible. Just because you’re gen Z and this bothers you doesn’t change anything.
Edit: I’m wrong, everyone. Gen Z will save us all!
I’m a millennial, so jot that down. How does one survive in America while eschewing all brands?
I’m on the border of genx and millennial, I don’t really know why this dude has a problem with genz. It’s not like my generation were any less consumerist than anyone before or after. And politically more genz are further left than any prior generation since ww2.
Hell, I was being called a pinko back in the day for things like publicly being against the invasion of Iraq, or saying Muslims weren’t all terrorists.
You know what… You’re right. Nothing can be done. Gen Z kids will save us all.
Lord, I hope you aren’t responsible for teaching anything on your campus. Personal property is not a concept unique to capitalism. What do you expect these kids to do… tailor their own clothes, build their own computers and phones?
Yup… You’re gen Z alright.
Great rebuttal… especially considering that I’m right on the border of genx and millennial.
Good for you!
Lol, weird way to admit your entire argument is baseless, but okay.
Way to go!
The end.
Thanks!
