As protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) efforts continue around the country, kids have begun creating their own protests online using the popular gaming site Roblox.

Videos of such protests have been shared to TikTok, where players can be seen holding signs with anti-ICE slogans behind what appear to be police barricades as sirens flash and whir in the background.

Not the entire generation, there's a pretty significant split between the gen z who were in covid times in their formulative years (high school/start of college) and those who weren't

They’re also more religious for the first time since we’ve been tracking it. And it’s more men than women, and it’s a lot of that fundamental catholic shit like Vance and Amy Coney Barrett follow.

Makes me more depressed about the future than before I leaned that.

Explain it to me did a show on it. (warning, it’s largely religious people’s takes on it, not much about Covid or the recessions or external factors.)

TLDL: The worst part is many of the converts claimed it was because they wanted something “real” and “true”. Because the sky god is better than AI internet god I guess. We’re hosed though I’m afraid.
