Millenials stay winning

It really dooby that way, I've said many times that Milennials seem like the sanest generation in the west (and I don't think this is due to age, if I compare today's 20 year olds to the 20 year olds of 10 years ago, there's still a huge difference) I think we really were the peak, and I'm not saying this out of hubris (it was entirely out of our control).

basically we were young enough to

grow up with some semblance of diversity
information technology
and not inhale vaporized lead gasoline

but still old enough to

not play candy crush in the crib
eat a diet of only 1% plastic instead of 10% plastic
experience an atmosphere that wasn't majority CO2
read a book

despite this even the majority of millennials are garbage so yea. age doesn't mean much

I was confused seeing that group on top tbh, but looking at the other questions it looks like it was just easier to trick the young people with leading, and/or zoomers who support a ceasefire are more passionately anti-Zionist while it seems like a lot of millennials might both support a ceasefire and support Israel?

Such a dumb question

[-] mar_k@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

You should see the previous questions

Do you think Hamas allows gay people to live together openly or punishes them?

Do you think Israel allows gay people to live together openly or punishes them?

Do you think Hamas uses civilians in Gaza as human shields to hide from justice or is not doing that?

Do you think Hamas is supported by the majority of Palestinians in Gaza or is Hamas a terror group that rules the people of Gaza with force and fear and is not supported by them?

Do you think that the long-term answer to the Israel-Palestinian dispute is for Arab states to absorb the Palestinians, for there to be two states, or for Israel to be ended and given to Hamas?

Some people say Hamas and Israel both have fairly equal just causes. Others says that there is no moral equivalency between the terrorist murders of Hamas and the actions of Israel. Which is closer to your view?

I dream to ask such dishonest questions

[-] mar_k@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

For the second to last I'd frame it like

Do you think that the long-term answer to Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine is the genocide and violent displacement of Palestinians, for Palestinians to be given a microstate of infertile land after being violently displaced from their native land, or for the dissolution of the far-right government of Israel in favor of a single, democratic secular state?
