Well the good news is the politically active end of Gen Z is the progressive end and we Millenials are going to be the biggest voting block for a good long while.
I really wouldn't be so sure. I was born in 1999- grew up right as social media started to burst, so I've seen the growing-up experience transform from "a bunch of 5 year olds play on Game Boy Advance consoles" to "my 4 year old second degree cousin only cares about her tablet". And the entire YouTuber/social media culture that grew up around that is incredible at indoctrinating teenagers and kids. I grew up in Turkey and a lot of teens say the N-word left and right because they hear it from youtubers and think it's a cool/funny thing to say, while lacking the social context as to why it's an unacceptable thing to say.
Oh I'm not saying a good number of them aren't little shits. I'm saying those ones are less politically active than the others.
yeah, because harassing the poor guy and his family isn't entirely proving his point, you knuckle dragging dipshits
PDP's inability to ever take the high road and be responsible with his following makes him the ultimate snowflake. Just because some random teacher said something bad about you, you're going to sic your millions of fans on them? That's fucking low.
The teacher was right.
PDP is finally going to admit he's a Nazi and his excuse is probably going to be "you turned me into a Nazi!!!"

Well they sure do a great job at discrediting that teachers' point...
Fuck PDP and his Nazi bullshit
Fuck PDP and his Nazi bullshit
I want to know what "indoctrination" exactly? So much smarmy edgy bullshit. "Heh, you just can't see the truth like I can."
Nazi's don't think in terms of facts.
As far as their concerned if they beat this teacher into silence then they've proven to be right.
Lock his stupid ass up.
Honestly we need to start locking up any and everyone alt-right, because we know EXACTLY what it leads to.
Save your freedom of speech arguments for the black folks who have the police called on them for minding their business. Even better, ask the 9 people who died at Immanuel AME if they think the alt right should be able to spread their ideas.
Lock these racists up. That's what jails are for.

there's a reason the alt-right talk about being redpilled. ugh.
YouTube needs to remove people like PDP from its platform. Deplatforming works, and that person has done enough damage already.
He needs to go.
He needs to go.
I kinda hope most people having kids have girls. A lot of these boys being weaned on YouTube seem like fucking morons.
When are YouTube going to take action? The fucker is using his fan base as army to do these kind of shit. What the fuck YouTube?
My favourite thing is why he tweeted out that the white nationalists at the Charlottesville rally "must have watched too many PewDiePie videos" on August 12, when all violence happened, then tweeted out "Nazis please stop looking at me you're not helping my case" three days later, then said he wasn't making any more Nazi jokes because he didn't realize how real they were two days after that. Like, wow, that must have been a snap decision.
Honestly, I can't see parents being able to distinguish pewdiepie from other kid-oriented streamers, if they even know what a streamer is. This is Youtube and regulation territory first.
To be fair, telling kids they'll be fined for retweeting things is pretty dumb. That's just...not true?
Other than that, PDP is unabashed Nazi scum as usual. Just another reminder that anyone who supports this guy shouldn't be trusted.

I miss the days when I only used to hate PewDiePie and his fanbase because they were embarrassing, disgusting globs of moronic, worthless, ill-smelling liquid shit.
And there are still some people in this forum that go to bat for this fucker every time he comes with his shitty ''apologizes''. Fucking nazi scum.
OMG. I went to his uploads page. What the Christ is this shit? It's incomprehensible. Gibberish and goofy thumbnail pics.
The internet now lets kids self-select what they watch and they will often go with LCD impulses vs enlightened content.
RIP Mr. Rogers and Mr. Wizard
Kids of the 80s-90s could watch some nonsense programing but could in no way binge on it. We had to expand our horizons and click around to other stations.

What progress do you mean? Genuinely. Millennials are now coming into positions of power. All I can think of is the metoo movement
Im literally terrified this hitler jr has 76 million followers (most being 9 years old? What's going to happend after 9 years when they are adult?). What if he really starts commanding his minions to do terrorist attacks or even worse. Worse meaning doing something like isis and making these alt right scums join forces and invade/make own country somewhere. Im sure russia could fund them to destabilize world even more. It's time to stop this human hater and ban him from social media.
Not shocked YouTube hasn't done anything. All about the $$$.
As an old guy, every generation feels this way about the next generation. Keep the faith.

They realised one of the most popular people on youtube potentially had sympathies for their worldview - or at the very least was an ignorant enough dudebro not to critically analyse it - and thus positioned themselves as his most loyal, hardcore fanbase, encouraging him to lean into them harder, particularly through cross-promotion with youtubers much more openly of that tilt. The fact that he's a Swede probably helped, because the alt/far right still have a hard-on for Scandinavia.
All reinforced by the fact that the default MO for youtubers is to position themselves as 'just a guy'. They're not really telling you what to think. They can't really make people do stuff. Assertions like that of the teacher run counter to this supposed concept - this very foundation of the grassroot marketing of Youtubers - because it suggests that not only does someone like PDP have actual power and influence, but that he is wielding it to a negative end. That I think is what earns PDP's ire most; the suggestion that he is not merely 'just a guy', but in fact, a bad guy. Which he can't be. He's just a guy.

What has this guy done since he said the n word while playing a video game? Hasn't he basically just joked about how he has gotten away with it?
Calling out Felix for being an alt right fuckhead and popularizing fascism with kids isn't "not allowing other opinions than the ones I approve of" its called not being a fascist cunt. Fuck Felix, fucker should've had his comeuppance when this shit first started. Fucker needs a punch in the face
You mean parents actually have to parent instead of letting a screen raise their kids?. Madness
Nah, it was whoever he played with who made that remark.
As for Pewdiepie himself, since then he continued to descend into the 4chan shit hole, where he used to get content from.
This lead to him becoming a fan of people like Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro.
Just a few weeks ago he got into hot water again because one of the 20-sonething channels he recommended to his fans turned out to be really really racist.
He tried to defend himself by saying that he didn't knew about that and only recommended it because of its anime reviews.
Something that is easily proven BS just by digging deeper into said channel.
And now this.
"Hitler is funny for gassing and burning jewish babies"
The edgiest of lords for some sad fuckers
User Banned (1 Week): Dismissing concerns surrounding bigotry and intolerance as “outrage culture”
It really is. Try watching his video where he actually defends himself. He makes mistakes but he is obviously not a white supremacists.
He's certainly no role model for kids, or anybody for that matter. He's just an idiot who makes mistakes and clearly shouldn't be in the spot light.
Outage culture is the worst.
Nope, you don't keep making the same mistake over and over, unless it was not a mistake to begin with. He is not edgy or misunderstood, he is a racist and an anti-semite. If you enjoy that, ou may want to re-evaluate some life choices.
Pewdiepie seems genuinely thin skinned as fuck and under the delusion he successfully transfomed into a good content producer.
Let's not forget about reporting the fuck out of these bastards and contacting advertisers to bail on them.
Talking to kids is not enough. We all need to do more to deplatform them instead of just posting a few insults on ERA, thinking you've done your part.
Hell, if necessary, we should just get the FCC involved and call it a decency crisis.
Other generations weren't always watching far right wing parties rise to power in countries all over the world, you know? We are on the brink of some deep, dark shit these days.
Why are right wing extremists mad about this. PDP is not a Nazi/Alt right/right wing extremist.
LOL.
LOL.
There is no way he doesn't know what siccing his fans on this teacher is going to result in.

Gen Z feels like a weird generation. They seem like the most progressive in terms of social issues like the LGBT community in minorities, even more so than us millennials, but they also value entrepreneurship more than anyone else. They don't like big business or authority, but love seeing individuals overcome the system like internet personalities.
Again this will be difficult to see how both generations interact in the coming years.
