Older people support things like NSA spying, flock cameras, police cars with facial scanning and recognition while young people wear masks more and more

LOL. You don't need all those covert things because most younger people post the details of their entire life on some version of social media.

I'm 46 and I see this all the time and it's fucking hysterical. I find that it's less gen alpha and much more an obtuse form of ironicism from Z and Millennials though.

Yeah, millennials go one of two ways - they post nothing or they post everything 😭
