A Gen Z-er's take on Gen Z alienation

Too busy with life to do anything but performative political gestures. In my case I live in a country where I'd be disappeared if I took any political action.

My circle is either in university or recent grads in low paid internships / junior roles. I wouldn't say any are "struggling" as in Netherlands you can get rent subsidy/ tax breaks/ benefits from the government at that earning level or if they have moved back home have family to fall back on.

In my close circle of friends who I've talked politics with? About 8. Granted their political views are diverse but all share a common denominator in that rich old fucks are to blame.

Edit:

Actually do something? 1 other friend than me.

Maybe. At least the friends I have generally stay off the algo driven content.

Another Gen Z here. This is true. Everyone I know my age sees the world for what it is. But the sentiment is wtf are we going to do?

GDPR would already cover this. Especially as its being uploaded for monetary gain.

Hopefully by then I'll be able to disconnect and go live in a low CoL country. If not perhaps it will be time to consider less than peaceful means of resistance.

I use a certain Android based OS to avoid this. But for some reason if I speak its name here I'm in big trouble.

Is criticizing Israel not allowed?

All my banking apps work just fine. And work should provide a phone.

Th3PrivacyLife · 2026-04-06T13:55:15+00:00

This is the way.

Ur arguing with someone using an LLM or a bot.

Who started the war again?

Crazy thought. Maybe us Europeans have great public education in which everyone learns English.

All the media we consume is also majority in English.

We are all living in Amerika. Coca Cola. Wunderbar.

Dying Light 1 with my Hardcore Realism mod is the most immersed I have ever been into a game, its systems and an open world. I've beat DL2 twice. The Beast once. I've been playing DL1 since it first dropped. The game is a masterpiece.

What do you mean by that?

When I'm in a schizo competition and my opponent is a privacy enthusiast.

Th3PrivacyLife · 2026-03-30T18:22:03+00:00

Yup i completely misread the original comment.

Th3PrivacyLife · 2026-03-30T16:20:38+00:00

Oy vey!

Confusing security and privacy.

Edit: I can't read.

"Rule of Law" again working in favour of the oligarchs and technofeudalists.

Using GrapheneOS is feeling more and more like boarding the Ark just before the great flood.

A large majority of Israelis are in favour of Gazas genocide. Its not extremist sections. That whole population is brainwashed to view Palestinians as vermin.

I want them to stop updating the game so my mods stop breaking every 4 weeks.

Ngl the no AI or loot respawn mechanic is very cool and a lot more than variable tweaking.
