“Why is Gen Z moving to the Right?”

No, we’re not brainwashed by too much Andrew Tate, social media, and the YouTube algorithm. For the love of God, if you see an entire generation shifting to the right, perhaps you should stop and consider the conditions that are leading them there. You shouldn’t assume they’re a generation of mindless fools who are being misled. Instead, consider the world they’ve grown up in, and think about what they might be trying to regain that they feel like they’ve lost

Don’t call Gen Z men and boys “uneducated, close-minded, incel virgins.” Don’t accuse Gen Z women and girls of doing it all for male validation or attention. We know exactly what we’re doing, we’re not gullible toddlers.

I feel like ever since the United States election, there have been so many posts in this sub and many others, asking why this generation is moving to the right, and everyone seems to think that it’s because we’ve been manipulated by our social media algorithms and can’t think for ourselves.

I’ll tell you this, I don’t consider myself left-wing, not at all. I made that decision on my own. I grew up in Canada, I still live here, and I will always love my country, but I hate what it has become. I can’t recognize it anymore. The place where I grew up, it’s not the same. It’s changed beyond recognition, and now there are only glimmers of what once was. It was stolen from me.

I don’t care if you think the right isn’t going to fix anything. The fact is, the left isn’t going to do it either. They’ve proven that over many years. The left has been in power for a long time, and I’m sick of them. You can only mess up so many times before we can no longer forgive or forget.

Also, while I’m at it, you all should really consider why people like Andrew Tate went viral to begin with. What caused it? No, teenage boys aren’t stupid, they’re not unloveable losers, they were looking for something that wasn’t being given to them in the real world, and frankly, still isn’t.

We will continue to move to the right, and you will continue to lose elections, until you all take a long, hard look in the mirror and figure out what’s wrong with yourselves.
