China has 400 million “Millennials” compared to 280 million “Gen Z”. I put quotation marks around those terms because they do not use those terms locally. Their “Millennial” is technically two categories combined (Post 80’s and Post 90’s). Their Post-90 gen would be equivalent to mid-late millennial and zillennial.

I’ve done a bit of research into how other countries categorize their generations. They don’t all perfectly overlap age-wise. But, if we’re looking at people born around the late 80’s to mid 90’s, they all follow similar trends and behaviors, including the decline in sexual activity and birth rates. In the East, you also have Vietnam’s “Millennial”, 9X, and Taiwan’s, the Strawberry Generation.

Millennials are still the larger demographic (ever) by about 3.5 million people.

Easy. They will vocally support Tesla but, in practice, will continue using their gas and diesel. Not like many red states can afford a Tesla anyhow.

I mean, Disney is still evil. They probably saw how much Target fucked up and don’t want to make the same mistake.

There’s more money in appealing to everyone instead of just white evangelicals Americans.

Not a conspiracy when Trump literally says Elon helped secure states like Pennsylvania.

Sorry, who are “these guys” you’re referring to?

I hope it’s not the 380 million Americans who absolutely did not elect the white foreign colonizer to gut our economy.

Historically, that is how elites have always maintained their power, so yes. It’s just a lot more difficult to 1) mobilize an overworked and comfort-seeking populace, and 2) we are more interconnected than ever before.

The power of propaganda is being seized by the people. We create the content. We cover current and localized events (in actual real time) because it’s our actual communities. We know who is who and what is what.
