The responsible statecraft article points out that the Z generation no longer trust the Main Stream Media & its talking points of support for US foreign policy. Rather they are in full support of turning that foreign policy on its head. They grew in the shadow of the US WOT. Young people are dubious of the media and political structure that pushed the failed WOT and now are pushing support for Israel & Ukraine. They might actually believe the money spent on those adventure will be better spent at home. They seem to have no interest in national power projection/intervention.
They likely have huge education debt and likely poor employment prospects as the joint rise of AI & automation takes over production and business decision making.
They likely also notice that the future unfunded liabilities of Social Security & Medicare endangers those programs. And if Congress does manage to get a spine to rise taxation to kick the can further down the road; those taxes will be on their backs to say nothing of the US $35 trillion national debt.
It does indeed seems as if the 2020’s is the decade of social unrest and perhaps rising to social upheaval and even civil war.
