Or maybe it's because they have zero patience for people who can't understand the idea of basic human rights?
Oddly enough, the Gen Zers that have decided not to talk to me or my wife, because they can't stand disagreement, are our nieces and are both rabid Trump supporters (well, unfortunately I currently live in Florida) and couldn't stand the fact my wife made a joke at Twitler's expense.
Not that I'm complaining, I don't want anything to do with Trump supporters (SEE! It's US TOO!) so that made it easier for me. My wife is more family oriented than I am and is pissed about it.
All of which is kind of meaningless given the article conveniently forgets that under 25 year olds of all generations (as in I saw it with mine) traditionally (1) tend to be more politicized, (2) tend not to have the practical social skills to understand the need for tolerance and (3) quite honestly, the country has swung to the right recently and being intolerant of fascism is no vice and a mark of being a human being, so anything they're seeing with Gen Z is simply an amplification, thanks to (1) and (2), of what's actually happening among all generations.
If people want me to hang out with them, they can stop wanting LGBT people killed, can stop supporting politicians who are passing laws denying life saving healthcare to women, can stop calling everyone who disagrees with them pedophiles (and can stop supporting groups that actually support pedophiles like the big three churches), can stop supporting the murders of black people by law enforcement and "white people who think they're law enforcement", and so on. 'cos all of those positions are extreme. And horrible. And you don't get a pass in my home for having them.
Have your nieces heard of internalized misogyny?
