(With liberalism) All relationships in a way become power-centric, i.e., who has the upper hand in controlling the other. Morality not only becomes individualized but so does authority. One can easily see how this leads to the political and social chaos and conflict we see in the world today. Looking out further however, it can be envisioned where liberalism is headed -- to an end point where not only are morality and authority being customized by the individual, but the individual is literally customizing himself (or herself).

People need norms, writes Brooks, basic codes and rules woven into daily life that offer an alternative to the plague of nonjudgmentalism, which refuse[s] to assert that one way of behaving [is] better than another. Perhaps we will witness the turning of the tide. It's been 12 years since he delivered his Pro Eligendo homily and his words still ring out the alarm.
We are moving toward a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as for certain and which has as its highest goal ones own ego and ones own desires.

That idiot you posted is a millennial not generation Z. Millennial in general seem to not be able to think for themselves. Generation Z are able to think for themselves and question authority better then any generation in decades. Because of that they seem to be the most Classic liberal types ever

For instance, white nationalism sites often require a strict code of conduct that bans porn, promiscuity, and tattoos, and promotes a self-disciplined work and fitness ethic. But people of color need not apply. I'm not defending white nationalism but what do you expect when the entire culture assumes that whites are evil because they're white? When college kids are forced to sit in classes and seminars harping on the depravity of white privilege and white people in general? This kind of backlash...and worse is inevitable.
Sorry for going off topic.

In case I was not the only one wondering, a preponderance of sources mentioned Wikipedia say that “Generation Z” begins with people born in 1995 and continues to Whenever.
