You know I have debated how 'diverse' millennials really are and I must confess, having come from Britain, they don't exactly live what they preach. They prefer to self segregate although stick with the propaganda that diversity is good. They have the odd non-white friend in the group but usually live in their own majority communities.
Not sure what it is like in America of course but that seemingly seems to be the trend in the UK. It's kind of like an invisible apartheid the more I think about it.
Also I wouldn't say millennials are better informed. Most of them went to predominantly left wing universities and were told was is good and what is bad so they believe it. I tend to find that the Zoomers are better informed if I am honest and they are more centrist inclined with their views...
So what should Millennials who don't agree with the consensus do? We have no allies because everyone assumes we don't exist. It pisses me off when Gen Z assumes I should be blamed for safe spaces I had nothing to do with. It made me more hardline and less compromising in my stances and also more of a lone wolf. I feel no alliance with any generation.
Agree with the millennial consensus, not because it is the consensus, but because it is right and just.
What is unjust is individualist libertarian economics, nationalism, militarism, racism, etc. The Republican Party.
When you base you views on being angry with some people you know, you are too narrow minded and you have the wrong views. Base your views on facts and truth about the general state of affairs, not on being pissed off at some Gen Zs because they supposedly blame you for safe spaces, whatever that means.
