Gen Z knows they were intentionally taught nonsense instead of a meaningful education, in order to keep them ignorant and compliant. It was once illegal to teach slaves to read and write. That's too obvious a restriction, so instead, the power brokers have legally mandated mind-numbing nonsense must be taught to them.
In addition, many of Gen Z are painfully aware that they're psychologically damaged by one or both of their parents who, if not for financiers running economic systems hell bent on increasing the number of debt and tax slaves, would never have been pushed to have children due to their own mental problems. It became a societal norm to deny mental illness and instead insist it was just "an alternate lifestyle" or worse "you were born that way".
Tang ping ('lying flat') is a Chinese slang term that describes a personal rejection of societal pressures to overwork and over-achieve in a rat race with ever diminishing returns. Tang ping means choosing to "lie down flat and get over the beatings" by adopting a "low-desire life".
