Generation Z White Pills
For a white pill about Generation Z, I went back and dug up some data pointing to encouraging trends among Zoomers.
Look closely at this chart by Audacious Epigone. Pay particular attention to the generational trends in attitudes toward pornography.
"This is terrible!" you may say. "More Zoomers want porn to stay legal than any other generation polled!"
But on closer inspection, a couple of remarkable data points stand out:
More Zoomers than Millennials want porn banned outright.
This stat marks a reversal in the trend that started with the Boomers of each successive generation favoring porn bans less than the last.
Perhaps most fascinating is how split Zoomers are on the porn question--more than any prior cohort. Factor in people's reliable tendency to grow more conservative with age and the high likelihood that many pro-porn Gen Zeds are having their freshman fling with Libertarianism, and odds are good that their green bar will shrink to the red bar's benefit.
Lest you still doubt the Zoomers' budding reactionary streak, take a look at another AE chart, this time on gun laws.
Note that the age categories above lump Gen Zeds in with some Millennials. It's a good bet that support for C&C is even higher among 16-20 year-olds.
Now, a common mistake older folks make is to impose their Left vs Right filter on groups that eschew that paradigm. By and large, Zoomers who reject the Death Cult's vision are ambivalent or even hostile toward Classical Liberalism, unrestricted free marketism, and government noninterventionism. The see those 20th century ideologies as failed pipe dreams that have no relevance in the post-Western world they've been relegated to.
What does interest Zoomers on our side is the family and faith life their grandparents took for granted and they themselves never had.
I can hear the objection. "But Zoomers are the most irreligious generation ever!"
Allow me to cast glimmers of hope on that dire pronouncement.
First, in terms of religiosity, Zoomers are tied with Millennials.
Just as the decades-long trend toward greater acceptance of pornography stopped with the Gen Z, the Zoomers have also arrested the decline in religious practice. The fact that Zoomers aren't less religious than Millennials, in spite of how they were raised, qualifies as a minor miracle.
And those numbers are a couple years old. They don't take into account the rising interest in religion due to Covid.
Nor do they show people's general tendency to become more religious with age. Consider that Zoomers as a group are much more religious than the Boomers were at their age.
And yes, I know that chart doesn't mention Gen Z by name. It does lump them in with Gen Y and the Millennials. But as we've seen, religiosity among those cohorts is pretty much the same at present. Given that piety among all generations trends upward over time, and factoring in the severe hardships that are almost certainly around the corner, we can expect Zoomers to surpass the Boomers as they navigate the Clown World hellscape.
No more Gen Z blackpilling. Our duty is to guide them through the spiritual minefield we've made, and that means leading them into deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
