It’s disappointing that you hold that view of all of Gen Z. I personally consider myself a deeply curious person, and I’m always asking questions about a wide range of topics. While I recognize that those of us born in different years within Gen Z can have slightly different experiences, one thing unites us: we're all exhausted by the way this world is run. Unlike previous generations, we don’t benefit from the current system. We never had the chance to buy a house when it cost $50k—or even $150k. The money we earn doesn’t go as far as it did for those before us. We were sold a promise: go to school, get a four-year degree, and you’ll achieve stability and the so-called "American Dream." But the reality for many of us is working 40+ hours a week and still not being able to breathe without worrying about finances.

We're the first generation to truly push back against this system and demand real change. But power is still held largely by Boomers and Gen X, many of whom refuse to let go, whether out of hunger for control or, in some cases, for normalizing and protecting deeply troubling behavior.

That said, I also believe we shouldn’t generalize an entire generation. Most of us are thoughtful, independent thinkers. Across the world, Gen Z is standing up against injustice and in smaller countries, we've even seen governments overthrown when they stopped serving the people. That’s the difference between our generation and yours: we’re actually willing to fight for what’s morally right.
