[@Alex-cs2wd]

I respect Niko being a comedian, pushing boundaries and testing our constitutional rights, but he also represents a class of ignorant TikTok Gen Z'ers who aren't taking this very seriously and who don't seem to understand the nuances of politics, economics and society. Nonetheless, it is important that people like him test the boundaries.

[@zaddyfaye6880]

we understand just fine. diminishing our reactions to the current political state as the result of us just being "ignorant" is one thousand times *more* ignorant than anything some idiot on tiktok could ever hope to remark. your entire comment reads as the pretentious ramblings of a bitter old person who's understanding of politics is just as shallow, but who thinks that they (by default) *must* know more simply due to their old age. despite all of the nuances to the current political state and gen z's position in politics, youre only able to vaguely-outline "politics, economics and society" in your argument... which indicates a profound lack of knowledge on your end. now MORE THAN EVER young people are fully engaged in politics, thanks to social media and the ever-increasing effects the poor political decisions of the OLDER GENERATIONS have had on the society that we are having to enter and cope with. "gen z" arent refusing to cooperate as a result of us not taking politics seriously, but (rather) because *WE'RE* not taken seriously by the politicians we're expected to work with, simply because of our age and their refusal to work within the parameters of this modern world. we're not listened to and people like *YOU* are propagators of that. young people are acting in protest of these outdated systems - exercising our right to democracy by not *acknowledging* the strict and oppressive systems and enforcing our own. why would we take a bunch of idiots seriously, when they cant even perform the base-level tasks required of them to do their jobs? the entirety of our current political system is not *deserving* of the gravity it has been given, hence why we turn our attention towards these independent parties who allocate their time and attention towards actually sending a message. you expect gen z to work with your generations in fixing the fractured state our country's currently submerged in, whilst condescending us in the same breath? if youre not going to engage with the younger generations respectfully, then you can keep your political discourse to facebook
