Tinfoil moment, there is genuine discussion and protest from Gen Z grassroots to hit them where it hurts, i.e. stop subsidies and tax breaks for Oil & Gas.

Both BP and Shell are likely aware of this and are now trying to target public transport advertisement and online communities, where they think they will probably win over Gen Z.

As they should. If you're going to propagandize to kids, it's only right that the side you're opposing should be able to do the same.

I don’t think Gen Z cares about this. They want Bugatti’s and private jets.

[lpapez]

Why can't we have both?

[osigurdson]

Agree. Everyone should have a zero emission Buggati and private jet if they want, that is the future we should be shooting for.

However, what I mean is degrowth, Greta type gen z people seem to be somewhat rare.

I feel like this must surely be an observation made from a skewed sample or from within some sort of bubble?

Tbh I don't have any research or polling data on hand, but I seem to remember gen Z being FAR more conscious of the environment (climate change and plastics pollution), their own health (drinking/smoking) and global social issues.

I’m basing this on popularity of various YouTube personalities. They are largely very kind and very rich.
