I have a weird contradictory observation about gen z
Recent mass shooters are made by gen z while online I see them have more moral than properly than older gens actually. Or what I saw just a loud minority, and they can just fake whatever identity they want online to fool others or to fit in a group?

I remember when boomers blamed the millennial's for everything wrong with society. Does this mean I can bully gen z now?
Older generations have knowledge and experience that the new gens will never get nor understand.
The newer genrations have no idea what they're missing so they think the simple life they live means they're the best.

Its a never ending tug-of war since the dawn of humans.
One day we'll get over ourselves, but today is not that day.

You probably need to blame Gen Alpha soon, given that Gen Z can be almost 30 years old.

But it also depends whether You´re a millennial or Gen X guy. As Gen X You´re supposed to blame Gen Z, and as millennial You´re supposed to blame Gen Alpha - except You want to point out the differences to Gen Z, because You´re an older millennial, who is 44 years old, and will soon be part of the group which is about making the "big" decision. But traditionally one blames the youth for everything. Usually people around 16-25, and it would need to be about their take about work, and that they´re all lazy and stuff.

I believe Billy Joel wrote a song about this.

Something about fires.
You can see it as "as people get older they get more complacent" or as "younger people are more impulsive and prone to make spectacles". Same thing. By the time a person prone to commit terrorism gets older, they are more likely to weaponize some naive young fool.

And if you are often finding yourself as a young person in some online community praising or justifying violence, that's who some of the crowd is; old farts that believe in the cause so much that they will help you die for it.

What exactly is moral about a mass shooting, OP?

using morals and then going out and murdering someone would be called hypocrisy, not 'more moral'

Thank You for rephrasing what OP already said.

I personally would rather ask about sources for the claim that Gen Z commits more mass shootings. Or why he assumes that the people in the web are a loud minority, which implies that more people commit mass shootings, than people who would talk about "morally okay" stuff in the web. If anything the mass shooters are a loud minority, while the loudness is made by their tool of choice.

Contradictory observation?

More like missing the obvious.

Recent shooters are Gen Z because they are the most recent generation to be eligable to be programmed as shooters. Gen Alpha is too young - oldest of them are 16. But it usually takes years for these people to be trained and the specific OP to be set up. True adults (people above 27) are not elegible because of their full-grown skeletal structure and developed mind giving them much higher degree of resistance to radiation and programming. Its the exact same reason only kids are drafted into the military. Men older than 27 are much harder to bully and control.

TL;DR: The generation before Z is too old, the generation after is too young. Its not that hard to figure out.
