There’s something ironic in the truth that on the eightieth anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz, the outcomes of a brand new ballot reveal that greater than half of Gen Z imagine life can be higher beneath a dictatorship, and a 3rd would help a navy junta (Metro, Tue).
They clearly do not know of what life was, and is, like for the billions who had and have first-hand expertise of dwelling beneath such regimes.
Can they presumably be oblivious to the Stalinist purges within the former USSR, Nazi Germany’s homicide of six million Jews (and an extra 5 million political opponents, homosexuals and gypsies), the hundreds of Spanish murdered by Franco? Or the tens of millions of Cambodians murdered by the Khmer Rouge, the lots of of hundreds of Iraqis who died by the hands of Saddam Hussein, the Ugandans massacred by Idi Amin, the untold useless of North Korea, Pinochet’s Chile and the Argentine navy dictatorship.
The outcomes of this ballot solely serve to strengthen the argument towards the decreasing of the voting age to 16. Those that dream of dwelling in a dictatorship would quickly stay – in the event that they survived in any respect – to remorse it. Bob Readman, Sevenoaks
How Gen-Z kind their opinions is totally different generations previous
‘We’re all dwelling in a land of make imagine proper now’ Gen Z have lived their total lives beneath the affect of the web, so what this ballot tells me is that they’re very polarised of their opinions.

Those that hope for automation ought to have some humanity
‘The extra jobs you are taking away, the poorer and unhealthier we change into’ Those that want to defend AI and automation ought to have the decency to go and share your ‘future-gazing’ notions to the abnormal working courses who lose their livelihood due to massive tech.
Speak to the older girls who sat behind the tills within the retailers to place meals on their kids’s desk, to the younger of us who didn’t have cash to go to college and beloved working as receptionists, to those that had been supporting their goals by working in phone centres.
And don’t inform us our jobs that you simply erased had been boring – frankly it’s offensive. How unsympathetic and anti-human does one need to be to assume corporations utilizing human beings for these jobs are ‘inefficient’.
Certainly the extra jobs you are taking away from us, the poorer and unhealthier we change into – destabilising the economic system.
So, don’t empower the large tech and AI bosses. Empower us abnormal folks, by creating and defending our jobs. Emilia Jones, London

And who can be accountable if a member of the general public is harmed?
