Only 9 percent of Americans younger than 30 have a “very positive” view of capitalism, according to a new CBS/YouGov poll.

That shows a stark generation between Generation Z and older generations.

The data arrives amid a surge in democratic socialist victories across the U.S. — and not just in progressive corners of the country. Florida state Rep. Angie Nixon (D) on Tuesday beat out the more moderate Alex Vindman (D) in the Democratic Senate primary in Florida, a state known for its sunshine, not socialism.

    Come on… They’re still buying sweet treats and treat yo selfing the machine into continued suffering.

    Literally the Matt Bors comic.

    They’re habitually being fed capitalism disguised as socialism through online influencers and social media.

    This is their fault?

    They are literally unable to identify truth from propaganda. They’re very boomer-like in that way.

    Everyone has trouble identifying truth from propaganda. That’s the point of propaganda, and it’s especially effective against people in their twenties.

    All you gen Z folks go ahead and down vote me, but I’m right.

    I’m an elder millennial. And I know that downvotes don’t mean you’re right.

    Edit: I’m wrong, everyone. Gen Z will save us all!

    Being butthurt is a great way to prove that you have a thick skin and aren’t insecure about your dumb opinion.

        I am not sure what your game is here. “Oh haha I bet I can get him to believe that I actually agree with him now lmao”? In what way does that benefit me or harm you? This kind of trolling really just drives home the Matt Bors comic comparison.

          There’s just no point in arguing with any of you. You’re certain I’m wrong and you’re right so why would I waste my time trying to present my arguments?

            Well if you didn’t intend to actually substantiate any of your arguments, I don’t know exactly what you expected. “Oh sure bro, your feels-based generational warfare screed totally convinced me that the original article was totally wrong!” Come on man. You know how the internet works. Come with receipts or prepare to be roasted.

            I mean, even if you do come with receipts, prepare to be roasted. But at least in that case you’d have the moral high ground.
