2000s: Generation Z
March 23, 2019
By AHNZ
I’ve been reflecting a bit about poor old Generation Z in New Zealand. As the years go by the bookends for this latest generation come into clarity and I think we can now put a figure on it the way we have for The Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials¹.
A mainsteam of Slave Culture, for reasons that will become clear, Generation Z were those born between Sept 11 2001 and March 15 2019. That is, between the 9/11 incident and the Christchurch Massacre. The most defining thing about Gen Z is that they grew up in the wake of Millennials as their finger-wagging older brothers, prefects, tutors, teachers, media priests, policemen, and politicians. Of course they had to keep their heads down to avoid a scolding and practise the escapism of electronic devices² and art. Strauss-Howe Generational Theory calls them an Artist (Adaptive) generation, the sort previously seen in 1925–1942 who were cowed by the poverty of The Great Depression and called The Silent Generation.
Faced with the likes of the above Pyramid of White Supremacy projected through their Promethean ActivBoards what chance did the poor kids have? Their Millennial teacher puritanically preached to their captive audiences about Global Warming then Climate Change and Gender Diversity and Feminism and the virtues of the Welfare State. But it’s not the content of these Victimhood Culture bosses that groomed Gen Z for Slavery, it’s that there was no possibility of negotiation. Does Snr Sgt Millennial here look like she wants your opinion?

Sarcasm and irony became the only form of self expression possible and Gen Z became young Jedi masters of it. A perennial favourite was, and is, ‘that escalated quickly.’ I mean, look at that Pyramid of White Supremacy illustrating a slippery slope from disinterest in voting to mass murder! Gen Z kids were sceptical but had learned the hard way that questioning the causality or logic or validity of such a presentation was a thought crime. Like some old time prison lag talking out the side of his mouth so the jailers couldn’t see, or like deaf Kiwis inventing New Zealand sign language on the sly, Z came to walk and talk in escapist, ironical, sarcastic, detached expression.
Umbridge: Thank you, Headmaster, for those kind words of welcome. And how lovely to see all your bright happy faces smiling up at me [No one smiles]. I’m sure we’re all going to be very good friends.
Fred and George: [sarcastically] That’s likely.³
Hitherto, teachers were addressed by name, a “Mr Thompson” or “Mrs Webster” but the Gen Z kids I knew shortened it to “Mister” and “Miss” in some seeming act of rebellion. Sometimes I don’t think they even bothered to remember their own teacher’s names. That’s a typical Slave Morality passive way to fight back, after all.
Who wouldn’t detach personally from PC Principal and her rainbow coloured here’s-your-participation-certificate lackeys pushing Social Justice mantras on you? Their lessons didn’t even make sense.
“That’s descriptive”- Gen Z catchphrase
Just like the Slippery Slope Supremacy triangle up top, the Millennials’ Social Justice edicts were issued as orders and emoted as emotional blackmail and the threat of escalation. ‘The more emotional I get, the more obliged you are to do what I want,’ is the Millennial message conveyed by such sanctimonious utterances as “unacceptable,” “offensive,” “disappointing,” “inappropriate,” “upsetting.” The universal Gen Z quip in reply is an ironic “That’s descriptive,” by which he means absolutely no reasoning or description or valid or sound argument as been remotely presented- as per usual.
Having come of age you’d like to think Gen Z could run the world and displace the Victimhood Millennials who have wrecked the world by being the star of the show for the past 40 years. Rub their eyes, put down their devices, step out of the shadow of their lecturers and parents and employers? I fear not. They’re groomed to be Slave Culture now, they’re destined to be artists. Robert E Howard came up with Conan the Barbarian, incredible Honour Culture literature from the pen of a Slave Morality resident. As Gen Z come into their 20s now perhaps we’re about to see what amazing work they can make out of their insufferable suffering.
The ones to restore the balance will not be Gen Z, I think, but the new rising Honour Culture generation. They will actually be Conans while Z can only dream it and consume endless Marvel movies depicting it.
