Gen Z generation born between 1996 and 2013 and the late Millennial generation born from 1990-1996.
Follow the timeline. What happened at the start of this period?
Answer: The Berlin Wall came down, the USSR fell, and we quit teaching ANYTHING about the horrors of Socialism and Communism in our schools.

Meme I saw that fits this article:

The Greatest Generation,made weary by two wars,were far too soft with my generation,the Boomers. And it was all down hill from there.

Follow the timeline. What happened at the start of this period? And these two Satan worshipping vermin were in control of our government, our schools, and our policies.

I’ve been pretty skeptical of the Strauss-Howe generation theory stuff since I read their book back in the 90s, but I think there’s something to that aspect of it. I was born in 1980, which puts me in the youngest part of the “Thirteenth Generation” (or Gen X) according to them. My wife was born in 1984, an older Millennial. While we have a lot in common in our upbringing, the fact that I am just old enough to remember the tail end of the Cold War and she is not is a significant difference.

Those born between 1925-1945 are the Silent or Traditionalist Generation

Excellent observation. I hadn’t considered that.

The Greatest Generation,made weary by two wars,were far too soft with my generation,the Boomers. And it was all down hill from there.The "Greatest Generation" voted in every socialist policy that came before them, imported every third worlder who asked to come here, gave the nation away, and has made us a hated minority in our own country.

They are the worst generation and many of us have come to the conclusion that many of them are expendable.

Then there's this:

There's another one that breaks it down by race. Trump did better among males within every group, got HUGE majorities of white males and females, and a thin majority of Asian males, and lost all other demographics badly. Generation Z whites will likely be the most conservative generation yet, but they are outnumbered. Some Republican in the future might have to seek their votes to get elected. THE HORROR!!

The Greatest generation did nothing when universities were filled with leftist professors.

I remember reading that Every generation is a new wave of barbarians who need to be civilized.
Its true that we are all born into a culture and civilization that’s been fully formed and ready-made for us by people long ago, that we will never meet but to whom we ALL owe everything.
We are the direct, immediate recipients of their suffering, effort, discoveries, and knowledge. THEY did all the work... WE get all the many benefits. We only need to cultivate and nurture what we have all been so fortunate to inherit. What a tremendous gift!
WHY do these waves of destructive, demanding, ungrateful and selfish people think they must destroy the very system through which and ON which, their very ability to challenge us is grounded?
The institutions, language, society, traditions, values, etc. from which they launch their hateful attacks on the rest of us have been handed to them, GRATIS! It reminds me of the cartoon character sitting on the tree limb HE is sawing off.
Change is fine even necessary, but only IF its change for the better. These destructive throwbacks dont characterize that at all.

Some of us are astute enough to know that the “Greatest Generation” could credibly qualify as the worst generation in America over the last 100 years.

We did our children no favors when we pushed the idea that both parents needed to be in the workplace. Once that happened, more of our children's lives were controlled by forced outside of the home.
I'm not saying women shouldn't have gone to work. The decision to do so made it easier for the left and the education system to manipulate generations of kids.

it would be nice if people would plan their families so that someone could be available to take care of the kiddos.
