October 3, 20241 yr I'd be very curious to see poll numbers of Americans who support Israel's actions against Palestine vs their actions against Iran.

I would guess there would be a noticable approval disparity now that they seemed to have turned their sights more towards the head of the snake. But then again people old enough to remember what Khomeini did to that country aren't really the "Peace with Palestine" demographic either so maybe not.

It's not people in their 60s that are supporting terrorists. It's morons in their 20s. Those same morons will support Iran over Israel because the Israelis are colonizers or whatever. The issue is that younger millennials and Gen Z are remarkably stupid and useless. They never learned history beyond white = bad and brown = good.

Like you said if it's essentially the same it pretty much proves that the disapproval votes boil down to "Israel = bad" no matter what.

October 3, 20241 yr Gen Z is supposed to be more conservative than expected, no? I try not to focus overly much on how crazy specific individuals or radical groups may be - every generation has their share of nutjobs. The extreme individuals or groups that make news are anecdotes, not data. But broadly, my understanding is that there's a more conservative bent to the "next" Gen. Probably in part because liberals are having fewer kids, but nonetheless something I find noteworthy.

Eh, the issue with Gen Z isn't which side of the aisle they're on, it's how far to the sides they went. With Gen Z they diverged heavily among sexes. So more or less Gen Zthey just ate up all the online propaganda that they're seeing cause their Gen X parents don't know how to parent. Whereas the Boomers grew up and lived with very tightly edited news, so they assume everything they hear is fact, which led to them just eating up all the online propaganda that they're seeing as fact. Gen Z sucks the worst, but Gen X doesn't get as much ish as they should be getting. There's a reason everyone skips over them.

October 3, 20241 yr Parenting in the Information Age is tough. I have two teen-agers. They see all kinds of stupid stuff on Tik Tok. I know, don’t get them phones right? Not really realistic in 2024 imho

We just gave our daughter a phone with internet, but blocked all social media sites. We're thinking of waiting until she's at least 16 before allowing all that (currently just started 6th grade so she'll be waiting for a while still.)
