2020s: Generation Z+1

December 10, 2020

By AHNZ

No need for Victimhood Culture, or the Feminist subculture thereof, to worry about Generation Z. They’re no threat.

 

The first New Zealand babies of Generation Z+1 are being born now, or are only months old. I don’t know what they’ll be called but I do know they will be pragmatic, pro-active, realistic kids. They’ll grow up K-selected and at odds with the middle-aged embarrassment Millennials and the winging old-folks-home-Boomers.

“Feminists aren’t worried about the new generation. The boys are as emasculated as I’ve ever seen. We had two 16 year old males sobbing over schoolwork in our department last week. It’s just embarrassing.”- found social media comment

“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.”- Generation Z, AHNZ

Naming rights will probably go to the Millennials because a Generation is too young to name itself when it comes on the scene. Being scared and offended of them, Millennials will probably generate a name out of fear; Something derogatory from their own point of view. ‘Generation Mean’ or ‘The Spartan Generation,’ perhaps.

Some recent headlines suggest the Honour Culture awakening is already beginning in the young. Having read this post and perhaps the one on Moral Culture Cycles you understand very well why. Others are flailing to comprehend!

“Schools are increasingly failing to retain students during compulsory education ages – we need to know why.”- Why more kids are wagging school Stuff (Dec 2020)

“Five West Coast students have been disciplined after storming into another school and assaulting a girl in the middle of a class.”- Social media post prompts ‘horrific’ assault on West Coast high school student, Stuff (Dec 2020)

“Teachers being hit, kicked and bitten, chairs thrown and windows smashed – these are some of the scene that play-out in Kiwi classrooms as the number of physical assaults on staff has almost doubled in five years.”- Teachers want action as student assault rates on staff escalate, Stuff (July 2020)

“Students being stood down at schools in Southland is rising, which has the Ministry of Education concerned.”- Ministry of Education concerned about Southland schools’ use of stand downs, Stuff (March 2020)

Children as young as 6 were among about 300 students disciplined for bringing a weapon to school in 2019.”- Children took weapons to school almost 300 times in 2019, Stuff (2020)

“Since 2015 stand-downs per 1,000 has started increasing again, rising to 29.0 per 1,000 students in 2019.”- Educations Counts

“An expert also warns that half of all students being expelled or excluded from school are on the autism spectrum, and noisy multi-teacher classrooms might be partly to blame.”- School stand-downs for fighting and assault hit 11-year peak, NZ Herald (2018)

Repression breeds resistance. After years of Millennial Victimhood Culture presiding over our schools the kids are bound to be provoked into an equal and opposite reaction.

For Millennials it was cool and rebellious and unorthodox to ride on a high horse about Safe Spaces and Feminism and Gender Pronouns and Climate Change Catastrophisation and Racism. Pool little Generation Z has wilted, unprotected by their parents, especially those who were sent to the government schools.

For Generation Z+1 the rebellious and counter-cultural thing to do will be to adventure and fight playfully. It becomes an act of rebellion not to go by feelings but to demand facts and evidence rather than blind obedience to authority. The next Generation will best relate, not to their Millennial parents and teachers, but to our warrior and pioneer and inventive and explorer ancestors. Currently, in the Woke World, such figures are the enemy and their statues expunged. Dennis the Menace, Gen Z+1 will re-discover them, dust them off, and add their own chapters to New Zealand’s adventure books.

Note: The Spinoff recently discussed some of the Honour Culture kids in previous eras. As a Victimhood Culture publication they didn’t really understand but did catalogue some of the culture. From another perspective, what they’ve produced is a how-to guide book for Generation Z+1 to follow in the footsteps of their KZ7 Honour Culture predecessors.
