Gen Z Americans are more willing to use blockades and violence to stop public speakers
A new survey reveals that Gen Z is significantly more likely than older generations to support using shoutdowns, blockades, and violence to silence public speakers, regardless of whether the young adults attend college.
A recent survey of more than 4,000 Americans found that younger, Gen Z individuals are more inclined to support disruptive tactics like shoutdowns, blockades, and violence when attempting to prevent public speakers from expressing their opinions. This preference was observed regardless of whether the questions were presented in an abstract manner or focused on speech the respondents found personally offensive.
Surprisingly, the study revealed that young liberals and conservatives shared a similar level of agreement when it came to suppressing offensive ideas.
