Gen-Z are not swinging to the right at all

‘Young Bob’ is a Gen-Z British activist who was previously in the pocket of the American right. While he’s most famous for being repeatedly beaten up, he’s also known for talking complete and utter shite.

His most recent example of this was seen here:

The problem with the above is that young people aren’t flocking right; they’re demonstrably moving left, and in numbers too big to ignore.

Oh, and don’t punch Young Bob if you see him on the street.

If nothing else, it will only give him another month’s worth of content.

Gen-Z aren’t ‘flocking’ anywhere

For those who are unfamiliar, Restore Britain is a Reform UK breakaway party. It exists because the Reform guys with the least agreeable personalities decided that the party wasn’t anti-social enough.

While the new party claims to have over 100,000 members, this is disputed:

In the video at the top, Young Bob is interviewing Kieran Mishchuk. We covered Mishchuk when he was still with Reform, and we did so because he was a brazen bullshitter who got caught in a lie:

He’s also – much like Young Bob – the sort of young person that you’d describe as a ‘briefcase wanker’.

Appealing or appalling?

In the video, Young Bob asks:

Why do you think Restore is appealing to so many young people?

Mishchuk answers:

I think it’s common sense really and pride as well, patriotism, hope, stuff that the left the left wing parties that they don’t really clamp on is the history. When you come from a working town like Sittingbourne… you’ve got hundreds of years of history, and you’ve got generations of family members that have done the same thing, and over the last hundred years that industry that was there is gone.

In Sittingbourne, it was paper, bricks, and barges that were built. On my granddad’s side of the family, it was barges. They used to build and design barges. That industry, that boat industry is gone. It’s just completely gone.

Okay, but in the time that all happened, we had a procession of right-wing neoliberal governments.

What do you think Thatcherism was?

If you don’t know, Thatcherism was the ideology of selling off everything that wasn’t nailed down and handing off sovereignty to the City of London.

It wasn’t a left-wing project.

What the fuck are you talking about, Kieran?

Leftwards shift

All that aside, young people aren’t interested in Restore anyway:

Other than that, though, lads – good work.

We can see why young people are flocking towards your movement.
