Why is GenZ quitting jobs and living off their parents seen as “bucking the system”?

The biggest way for the labor class to buck that system is to remove themselves of it. It's no different than the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Don't like the way you're bring treated, then don't engage with the system mistreats you.
You’re comparing ppl in their mid to late 20s quitting jobs while living with their parents to the Montgomery bus boycott

Are you serious ?

You don’t have to replace and entire generation

You just have to replace the ones who don’t work :mjlol:
Good point but its not just people who dont work. Most gen zers at this point hate the US. What happens when a whole generation of disillusioned, broke, under employed, isolated young people get to the age theyre expected to take the roles of middle aged people?

I am. It's a fairly simple analogy.

On order for capital to make money it requires labor. If the labor class denies it's labor long enough, capitalists lose money and therefore will make concessions for people to work for them again. This is how strikes work.

The Montgomery Bus Boycott was essentially a consumer strike. By denying the bus company your fare, the company doesn't make money and will make concessions for you to ride them again.

It's not far off to compare one type of strike to another.

I lived in my car for 7 months when I was 18. a red 95tbird

Had a job the entire time detailing cars for almost 2yrs .. 5 miles from Laguna beach..

Saved up bought my own truck took what I learned and the connections I had started my own detailing biz making up to $500 a day net in 2008/9

Was homeless multiple x in 4 different states. Hsd a 5% chance of survival in 2020 . Was in a wheelchair for 13 months in 2021/22. Almost died again in a hospital in SD in 2023

In 2024 I have 2 condos a houseboat in lake Tahoe .

When you KNOW you can't lean on anyone .you have no choice. Your positive results will multiply



proud of you dawg:salute:




life's a gamble.



there's a beauty in the struggle and the grind.


you made it :blessed:

Watched people go to work for years cussing about this and that person, how the job isn't shyt, hating it for years, and don't really have much to show for it except regrets and a spot to watch TV and lay their head . What a life

Yet brehs on the coli will tell you this is the generation that’s not for all the fukk shyt tho
:heh:
This gen uses pronouns, fukks trannies, call other men twin, can’t fight and sit on each others laps. I couldn’t give a damn about what a nikkas opinion born after 98 is. I’m just being honest.

The fact we got brehs in their 30s and 40s supporting this is wild to me. Yea times is tough but living off your parents and sitting around not doing shyt is not the move

No they just find a new cheaper labor pool such as immigrants and illegal immigrants. There will always be poor immigrants willing to work. Hence all the illegal immigrants.
