Students at Northern Virginia Community College in Alexandria gathered inside a lecture hall recently to hear me talk about race relations in America. But after making a few remarks about polarization and efforts to “roll back the clock” on civil rights, I cut short my verbal doom-scroll and wandered into the audience.
The students were roughly 18 to 23. Gen Z, the zoomers. With their mastery of laptops and smartphones, this generation is said to put a premium on “proactive learning,” preferring interactive educational experiences “versus passively sitting and listening to a professor lecture for hours,” as the Annie E. Casey Foundation put it in a 2023 report on Gen Z.
The young people were also consuming phenomenal amounts of information, so much so fast that many of them were suffering from loneliness, depression and anxiety attacks.
I decided to turn my talk into an interactive exchange, letting Gen Z have its say. They could even pick on a favorite villain, the “greedy boomer,” as some Gen Zers and millennials refer to my generation, for making a mess of the world they stand to inherit.
To my surprise, this group was not looking to cast blame so much as find solutions. They were contemplative and even optimistic, despite real fears and frustrations.
A terrorist attack on Israel and Israel’s terrorizing retribution on Gaza were in the news — and very much on the Gen Z minds. Could the conflict be discussed without triggering more acrimony, as the subject had on so many other campuses?

Read the article at the WAPO site, then check out the comments. We are doomed. I lived in a DC suburb for 10 years and I realize it’s 80% D/20% R in NOVA, so I shouldn’t be surprised. The little Gen Z Marxists are formidable.
Meaning they are lazy and prefer screen titillation to actual learning.
They think spending 15 seconds Googling something means they "know" something, when in fact they know nothing and are almost completely incapable of critically assessing any of the pre-written, pre-digested garbage put in front of their eyeballs.
They might acquire some particular technical skill, making them good drones. But that's about it. "Men fit to be slaves."
The Compost in its downhill slide passed the ability to accurately communicate about 2 decades ago.
This B$ shows how the Compost continues to publish fecal matter posing as an OPED.
Hey, GenZ morons! Understand something! When the Boomers were young their parents were the evil stupid Honky. When their parents were gone the Boomers became the evil stupid Honky. When the Boomers are finally gone YOU’LL be the evil stupid Honkey. As you were, Retards.
Poor little things.
Generational stereotyping is a poor substitute for actual thought.
Any talk of the “decay of race relations” that doesn’t include BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA is worthless. We were doing pretty well until that POS came along ...
Remember?
“The Compost in its downhill slide passed the ability to accurately communicate about 2 decades ago.”
What is “The Compost”?
“The Compost” is what was formerly known as The Washington Post.
Other naming conventions:
“New York Slime”
“Slime Magazine”
“Newsweak”
“Minneapolis Red Star”
“Communist News Network”
etc etc etc
Forward comrade!
All my “boomer” relatives are ex-hippies and flaming leftists.
Can I hope Gen Z are seeking healing from leftism? I doubt it....
These bean bags are all so retarded they’re moving out of America as quickly as they can and taking their college learned crap to Europe with them. Pretty soon they all will be walking around saying, “Kwawsawn”. I wish they would all speed up their departures. With all of the hairy-chested, G-Zero, wimmyn converting to Islam, they’ll be welcomed in Europe as great heroes.
Thanks!
“Generational stereotyping is a poor substitute for actual thought.”
Never have heard of that until lately. It seeems like a new thing. I suppose that occurs when people become ever more stupid. Most generations when they grow up are enthusiastic in going out and making their way in the world. Evidently some now content themselves in finding fault with the world.
The Federal employees are around D.C. I agree the country has lurched leftward, but Northern Virginia (& Maryland) has special circumstances.

Good luck with that, ZEROS.
I can't believe they just figured it out.
That high interest credit card the government took out in their name when they were born is maxed out. Now they owe 33 trillion in debt and counting.
They have little chance of ever owning a home or enjoying the life stile that the average boomer had.
All us boomers will be dead soon and they will be left at the restaurant table holding the check.
It would be easy to just say Ha Ha you little Marxists support these policies, but they have only voted in one or two elections and now they are fully screwed.
I would be pissed to.
Assuming they aren’t tossed off tall buildings.
I still can’t believe Obeyme won.
