If our grandparents had taken a stand back then and stopped buying shit these corporations would have never gotten so bold. Yeah we should start now (and many are) but we're in a much worse position than they were.
Gen Z is just as hooked with propaganda and brainrot from social media, if not more so. It's insane how consumerist the younger generations are, falling for scam after scam, I think it's peptides now.
This generational warfare shit is insane. Many boomers are working at Walmart because they don't have enough to retire and are also getting fucked over. There are plenty of poor, progressive bloomers, just as there are an astounding number of gen z conservatives and red pill bros.
Let's admit that no one is immune to propaganda, and unfortunately most people in all generations are quick to fall for right wing bs.
I think its more nuanced than that, you have to remember that we have the internet, while our grandparents did not. Its harder to notice enshittification without it, imo.
I don't need to the internet to see the product I'm looking at in the store is of lesser quality or smaller amount than the previous one.
