I'm a little puzzled at the "Zoomers care about politics while millennials don't takes". I'm old enough to remember the same takes being written with millennials as the enthusiasts and Gen X as the apathetic ones.
Same. Remember when Millennials were all out protesting the Iraq War and mobilizing opposition to Bush on social media?

Exactly. This thread is Gen Z patting itself on the back for sharing a political meme on Discord. Once again, as a Gen Z ("zoomer" started as a 4chan thing, it's dumb, I'm not saying it), there are a whole lot of strong political opinions but nothing of substance from those beliefs. Millennials did the legwork and are still doing the legwork.
Gen Z political "activism" to me seems to be mostly settling up a Twitter account with an anime avatar and "they/them~BLM~ACAB" in your bio and then posting about being angry that white pop singers are wearing clothing that is associated with a non-white ethnicity or something along those lines.

Meanwhile Millennials include AOC and made up a lot of the activist core for both of Bernie Sanders' campaigns for example.
