That’s a cop out. Tik Tok didn’t rot their brains. Parents have opted out of moderating content they consume (Manosphere podcasts, Tate, Rogan etc.) so Gen Z men are being strongly influenced by assholes.
And Gen Z are rightfully asking questions about Gaza. What older folk might see with more nuance seems pretty clear to them at that age - why are they supporting a war that appears to be killing innocent civilians?
They’re not stupid - they’re just young and idealistic, like we once were too.

We needed to do a better job of countering with, "So what happens with Gaza if Trump wins? He and Bibi turn Gaza to rubble, and refugees are turned away from our borders because they are Muslims".

Well the guy who loves Bibi and also completely ignoring ANY right to existence the Palestinians have just got reelected, so they can enjoy that.

Since it was largely male gen-zers who voted for him, I think these generalizations need another element added. The insidiousmess of the manosphere is huge part of this.
I don't care if it makes my kid annoyed, but he won't have an unmonitored device until he is near 16, and only if he proves himself responsible and reasonably skeptical of this BS. I love my child. I refuse to set him up to be an MRA or anything close to it, because I care about other people's children, too.
