GEN Z

What does it mean for the residents of Oleshky to go to Belarus? [1]

While a substantial portion of Ukrainian territory is currently under Russian governance, is it highly probable that these boundaries of effective control will remain unchanged in the future?

As for the various European nations, there is absolutely no sign of the turmoil settling down.

I do not mean to incite anything, and since we are talking about the future, this is merely a prediction — but it feels as though we are on the eve of a “Great European Revolution,” akin to the French Revolution.

Indeed, a soft landing achieved through elections is the ideal principle. Historical revolutions have always been accompanied by some form of violence, but moving forward, I would like to use the term “Great Revolution” to mean a massive, peaceful transformation of society. Ultimately, what is the likelihood that the current chaos will be resolved by fast-tracking and holding early elections?

It appears that rallies are also taking place around the National Diet Building in Japan. Do we know the number of participants? [1]

What is the approximate scale of the protests in Israel? [1]

Furthermore, unrest has broken out even in Switzerland — seemingly the most unlikely country for such events. The Halloween masks being worn there have taken the form of Anonymous. [1, 2]

Speaking of direct democracy, it reminds me: do you not agree that in today’s IT-driven society, direct democracy — which had been dormant since ancient Greece — has finally become a viable reality?

The geographic area of a European nation is barely the size of a single U.S. state. While their population density is not quite at the level of China as a whole, it is comparable to the densely populated regions of both China and the United States. Within that space, mutual communication is highly fluid — especially since young people in almost every country handle English with ease. This must leave them wondering, “Why are we even divided into separate nations? We share the same currency, and we have the Schengen Agreement.”

Beyond the headlines highlighting that the current wave of issues erupting across Europe is “Gen Z-led,” I cannot shake the feeling that this will ultimately coalesce into a massive movement toward a grand European integration. [1, 2]

Until now, the term “Gen Z” felt like a mere continuation of the X and Y alphabetical labeling, but it has begun to take on a realistic weight, signifying the true end of a specific generation’s era.
