A nineteen-year-old posts a video. She is angry. She is passionate. She is also wrong. She has not read the book she is citing. She has not fact-checked the statistic she is sharing. She does not understand the history of the conflict she is discussing. She does not care. She is not trying to be informed. She is trying to be seen.

In this episode, I examine the state of political discourse among Gen Z. The zoomers have grown up in an environment where information is abundant and attention is scarce. The algorithm rewards outrage. The algorithm rewards speed. The algorithm rewards confidence. It does not reward accuracy. The result is a generation of young people who are loud, certain, and frequently wrong.

The episode explores specific examples of zoomer political ignorance. A viral video claiming a historical fact that is easily disproven. A protest organized around a statistic that is completely fabricated. A political movement built on a definition of a word that the dictionary does not support. The zoomers are not stupid. They are misinformed. The difference is crucial. Misinformation can be corrected. Stupidity cannot.

Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because zoomer politics is not just wrong. It is performative. And performance is not activism.
