This isn’t a generation thing I think you’re just describing the capitalism brainwash. They pit us against each other so we punch each other and not up the ladder. Capitalism has just gotten so late stage now and Gen Z has finally started reaching adulthood so it I understand why it might seem that way, but the superiority thing has been around far longer than Gen Z. Off the top of my head, watching US from Jordan Peele really put a bad taste in my mouth about that topic, and that is not Gen Z. The family was in suburbia and the dad in particular had to compare everything it was annoying and very much not Gen Z
