Yeah there they go, thinking the world revolves around them and them only (as far as there is a 'they' when it's about these age-based samples they call 'generations').

I don’t how saying that numerous crises have affected a group of people is self-centered...

Yeah, at this rate, Gen Z appears even more self-centered than the millenials. Who knew that could be possible. :p

We can thank what we learned from unbridled capitalism for that :d

Because they make it sound like it is an American crisis. It is a worldwide crisis, they make it sound like "sure the world is having a tough time, but for us it's even harder!"

 

They are like those people to whom you say something and they answer by taking your situation, turning it to theirs and increase how bad it is so they can still get enough attention.

 

- "My friend died."

- "Oh that sucks, only a month ago I had a friend die and my grandma and sister too."

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

No, that’s not what the article is arguing. It’s saying that domestic issues have contributed to the self-identity of Gen Z.

This is why my generation has problems with your generation. Y’all just down play issues constantly. I feel like this is more of a misunderstanding, but I’ll gladly trade places in shooter drills with someone.

Believe it or not, every generation experienced issues that contributed to their identity.

Right, but we’ve only grown up in hard times: 9/11, Iraqi and Afghan Wars (both of which many of parents), Great Recession, School Shootings, Trump, impacts of climate change, and now this Pandemic. I’m sorry generation that your generation just excepted that the world was shit and always be, and there’s nothing we can do to change that; but my generation disagrees. Most of these issues are/were preventable, but your generation failed in the mantle of leadership. As Chernobyl ends “the truth is resolute. The truth catches up to laziness, lies, and false leaders.”

And most of them think that they've grown up in hard times, and when the others say they had hard times too, every generation counts with "no but for us it was real!".

    • Half of those things, if not more, are simply stories though. One may believe them or not, fine, but those aren't really reasons to claim a land. That way anyone can claim it if they have some old story that says so, and we end up in exactly the same situation. 
    • But actually we can, going back to the crusades, to the Jewish exile from the land of Israel.    To Moses who walked the sinai desert for 40 years to get into israel.   To all the stories in the Bible about israel.  And even Jesus who was born a jew in Bethlehem and lived in Nazareth.  All places you can see to date.   The only way you would argue that there is no historic proof that israel is out land is if you are simply and atheist and dont believe anything in the Bible.   
    • And before the Turkish empire it was another. And before that yet another. And yet another. And yet another. Always a good illustration of the never-ending killing of each other in especially that region. "The god in my stories is better, so we need to kill you and everyone around you" often being a central theme.     In short, nobody 'deserves' to be there (or anywhere in the world, for that matter) and definitely nobody right now can genuinely claim the land on historical grounds or anything (which apparently people often do), unless they're a proven descendant of the first cavemen and hunter-gatherers and such coming from Africa tens of thousands of years ago.
    • Btw.  You should know that palestine is a made up country.   It never existed in history.  Before israel was awarded the land it was the British empire.  And before that the Turkish empire.    And you can google to see who was there before the turks.  But it was never palestine.   The people are Jordanian that Yasser Arafat took from Jordan because the king was killing them.   So if you're looking for a home, I would go to Jordan.   And Gaza was taken from Egypt in 1967.   Yet when sinai was given back, they never wanted Gaza.  I WONDER WHY!   so keep talking about a made up country that doesn't actually exist   Can wait to see your well thought and coherent response
    • It was.  Lately is just tears of people who hate that we kill all their idols like Sinwar and Nasrallah.    It's surprisingly nutritious 
    • Algeria is third world.  Unless you lied about that as well and you don't actually live there.  Though I dont know why would someone pretend they live in that forgotten hell hole
    • You are speaking like an imbecile in a forum in online, its not your grocery store or mosque in your third world village.   We have an identity.   I wouldn't expect you to know it.  But I'm happy to see you be miserable since we are killing each terrorist one by one. Just big red marks on the year book.    Keep going.  It's a boring time on an olympic games forum.   It's very amusing.    
    • I don't think dropping a bomb in the center of London would be beneficial to their position on the stage of global sports, but hey, who knows  
    • Not typical a sport news, but worth to mention. Konrad Bukowiecki and Natalia Kaczmarek did married today. From now officialy Natalia will change her surname to Bukowiecka, she will not follow her team mates and will not have double surname     
    • Hurricane helene is coming , let's hide behind Nitraria  Only smart one will understand what i mean
