Poll: Gen Z Most Opposed to Cancel Culture

Good news.  A new poll by the Morning Consult shows that Gen Z is the most opposed to cancel culture.  

Bad news: Millennials are most in favor of cancel culture.  

Ziad Jilani has the story:

Perhaps surprisingly, given its progressive leanings and similar social and political beliefs to the millennial generation, Gen Z was the cohort most opposed to cancel culture: 55 percent said they had a negative view of cancel culture, 8 percent were supportive of it, 18 percent were neutral, and 19 percent had no opinion. Moreover, it’s the youngest cohort within Gen Z—currently ages 13 to 16—who are most opposed to cancel culture, with 59 percent having a negative view of it. That number falls to 48 percent for the oldest cohort within Gen Z—ages 21 through 24.

Also: the poll again showed that Gen Z has higher approval of socialism that capitalism.  Not surprising given that they have grown up in an era of never ending bailouts, rampant cronyism, and Federal Reserve policy that favors asset owners who are generally older over asset buyers who are generally younger.
