How do I know this? You might ask.
The answer, simply put, is: Because I too, rebelled against the ‘hustle culture’ and neoliberalism nearly 30 years ago. I hope that Gen Z gets a better and more sympathetic hearing than I did.
Gen Z discards the hustle culture of millennials. They value balance and time. A lesson for all of us.
Nota bene
At a time when youths everywhere are under constant attack by the neoliberal politicians and right-wing media—humiliating and belittling them by calling them lazy, idle, hoodies, benefit scroungers,“parasites” and “cockroaches,” to name but a few— Gen Z, has put all these no good-doers in shame with their moral and spiritual calling, challenging the neoliberalisation of everything, our way of life, and our humanity.
What if all cockroaches -young and old- come together?
To my mind, there is an urgency that Gen Z should get a good hearing to their call for a better world. They must be helped and supported to succeed.
It is my firm belief that we, the older generation, and Gen Z, together in dialogue and action, can, and will become the joint architects of this new world we are all yearning for.
“Why can’t they listen to them? We need to build their hope, not crush their spirit.”-Shabana Azmi, Indian actress and activist, supporting the ‘cockroaches’ rebellion.
