>The decline in academic performance and mental function of Generation Z, those born between 1997 and 2012, compared to previous generations, is well documented. For a full analysis of the cognitive and academic decline, see America’s Worst Generation Is Dumber Than Us, Research Confirms at The Gateway Pundit.>Along with the cognitive decline is a physical decline. Generation Z is overweight, sedentary, medicated, and increasingly unfit for military service, with only one in four members of the generation eligible to enlist without a waiver. Employers are similarly rejecting the generation: six in ten companies have already fired Gen Z hires, one in three hiring managers actively avoid them, and 37% of employers say they would rather hire artificial intelligence than a recent graduate.>Obesity is the single leading disqualifier, with more than a third of 17- to 24-year-olds too heavy to serve, and the DoD reports that approximately 77% of people between the ages of 17 and 24 require some type of waiver to serve due to one or more disqualifications. ASVAB aptitude scores have fallen 9%, and only 23% of youth qualify on physical, educational, and conduct grounds combined. Furthermore, under Executive Order 14183, service members must serve in their birth gender, while individuals diagnosed with gender dysphoria are now disqualified from service, further narrowing the eligible pool.The physical consequences of a sedentary generation are measurable globally. A WHO analysis of 1.6 million students aged 11–17 across 146 countries found that in 2016, 77.6% of boys and 84.7% of girls failed to meet basic physical activity guidelines. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/06/gen-z-unhealthy-unemployable-non-deployable-risk-stroke/
Retired Army Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling stated in the CDC’s report that the military has experienced increasing difficulty recruiting soldiers as a result of physical inactivity, obesity, and malnutrition among the nation’s youth, warning that failure to address these issues will impact future national security.A study published in Pediatrics (March 2024) using the IQVIA Longitudinal Prescription Database found that between January 2016 and December 2022, the monthly antidepressant dispensing rate for Americans aged 12 to 25 increased by 66.3%. The increase was sharpest among females: the average monthly rate for women aged 18 to 25 was 56.5% higher after March 2020, and for girls aged 12 to 17 the rate was 129.6% higher.A survey by Harmony Healthcare IT found that 34% of Gen Z report currently taking prescription medication for mental health, with an additional 19% reporting use of non-prescribed substances such as cannabis to manage symptoms. Under current DoD accession standards, a past diagnosis of depression, anxiety, or other disorders, along with the medications used to treat them, may disqualify recruits or require a waiver.>The physical decline of Generation Z extends beyond obesity into fundamental motor skills. A 2025 systematic review published in Pediatric Discovery, searching databases including PubMed and the Cochrane Register, found that elevated screen time among children under five is associated with deficits in both gross and fine motor skills.>Experts note that unstructured outdoor play, which naturally builds hand strength and coordination through activities like climbing and digging, has been replaced by screens, while changes in daily routines such as elastic-waist clothing and pre-packaged foods have eliminated further opportunities for children to develop dexterity. The loss of hand strength is measurable.
A peer-reviewed study found a significant inverse relationship between smartphone usage duration and both hand-grip strength and pinch-grip strength among young people, with mean daily smartphone use among participants averaging 7.8 hours.A CDC study published in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report found that stroke rates among Americans aged 18 to 44 jumped 14.6% between 2011 and 2022, with rising obesity and high blood pressure identified as the leading contributing factors.A 2025 peer-reviewed study confirmed the trend globally, finding that while stroke incidence has decreased in older populations in high-income countries, incidence in younger individuals under 55 has not shown a similar decrease. Doctors are finding cardiovascular warning signs in patients far younger than previously expected: nearly half of adults aged 20 to 44 now have at least one major cardiovascular risk factor, with obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes appearing earlier in life than at any previously recorded point.A 2024 report by Diabetes UK, published in The Lancet, found an almost 40% increase in five years in the number of people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes who were younger than 40, while global data from the Diabetes Atlas show that prevalence among people aged 20 to 39 rose from 2.9% in 2013 to 3.8% in 2021.Recent studies show that rates of type 2 diabetes among young adults have doubled or even tripled in some age groups and populations over the past 20 years, with the shift to sedentary digital lifestyles, long hours on smartphones, streaming platforms, and gaming consoles, identified as a primary driver by reducing muscle activity and promoting insulin resistance.
Employer reluctance to hire Generation Z is documented across multiple surveys. An Intelligent.com survey of 966 business leaders found that six in ten companies reported firing Gen Z hires due to performance issues, with business leaders pointing to a lack of motivation, inadequate communication skills, and unprofessional behavior, and one in seven companies said they might refrain from hiring recent college graduates the following year.>Nearly two-thirds of hiring managers believe recent college graduates are entitled, 63% think they get offended too easily, more than half believe they lack a work ethic, and 54% say they do not respond well to feedback.A January 2024 ResumeBuilder.com survey of 715 hiring managers found that 31% actively avoid hiring Gen Z candidates, preferring to find someone older. A separate Intelligent.com survey found employers willing to offer more benefits to attract older workers (60%), pay higher salaries to attract older workers (59%), allow older employees to work remotely to avoid Gen Z hires (48%), and hire overqualified older candidates rather than work with someone younger (46%).
>The preference for alternatives to Gen Z has extended to artificial intelligence. A Hult International Business School survey of 1,600 respondents found that 37% of employers prefer to hire AI over recent graduates, 89% actively avoid hiring recent graduates, and 96% believe higher education does not adequately prepare students for the workforce. The leading reasons cited were lack of real-world experience (60%), poor teamwork skills (55%), and the high cost of training Gen Z employees (53%).A January 2025 Intelligent.com survey of 1,000 managers found that one in eight hiring managers plan to opt out of hiring recent graduates altogether in 2025, with the most common complaints being no work ethic (33%), entitlement (29%), lack of motivation (28%), being easily offended (27%), and not responding well to feedback (25%).As Charlton Heston said at the end of Planet of the Apes, “We finally really did it. You maniacs! You blew it up!”>America has finally raised a generation incapable of military service and one that can be replaced by AI in the workplace. Surveys have found that 57% of Gen Zers would like to become social media influencers, and about half of the degree choices Gen Z students pursue in college do not lead to professional careers.So, on the bright side, many of them may never realize that they are unemployable and non-deployable because they simply do not want to join the military or work for a living.

I will never work
>>536921155>and at Risk of StrokeThey shouldn't take the vaxx
Serves them right for rotting their brains on social media instead of learning to read and use proper computers.
>>536921155>also the least white generation yetsurely just a coincidence
>>536921155There’s a solution.
>>536921155When I was little I thought about becoming a scientist, but high school was hell, I never got any pussy there, so why bother.
>>536921837This is a big part of it that the mass media neglect to mention. Niggers and spics are even fatter than Whites.
>>536921870>I never got any pussySo you're a perfect candidate for STEM!
>>536921843I love that webm>Guy steps in to stop the fight>Second guy joins him>Old man explains why he's beating up the kid>Second guy slaps the kid and leaves

>>536921155No, you can't relax until you have slaved your entire life away.
>>536921155>cant be good cannon fodder>wont wageslave for nosebergthis is all they care about, the rest is fluff meant to make you think the article is addressing concerns related to you and what is good for you, they just want your limbs thinner and your mind more dedicated to being blown to bits in iran alone and miserable when the jews can profit vs alone and a bit less miserable when they cant. >>536922214the kikes are too arrogant to see they had it better when they were parasites to a white vs non white country. they have this insane idea if they make whitey kowtow enough and in the right way niggers will suddenly become useful and appreciative of the jew.
The idea that you classify human beings as "deployable" tells me you are a war-mongering inhuman kike
>>536921155This is literally me except I don't have a tv.
>>536921155>refuse to hire gen z because they don’t have 10+ years of relevant experience at 18 years old>YOU’RE UNEMPLOYABLE!!!1
You have 28 year old zoomers now. They are old news, the real question is how fucked up are Generation Alpha? Are they even majority white?
well, they wanted diversity in the military. a little too late for bitching about younger lads not serving now
>>536921250>and about half of the degree choices Gen Z students pursue in college do not lead to professional careers.and why would the fields not want to hire new grads in their field?
>>536922481Also that, kikes have this idea they can refuse to put any bit of effort into maintaining the system. infinite growth with infinite experienced people without having to ever hire a new guy to get him that experience. Same with war they want an eternally degraded and miserable populace the kikes can laugh at and humiliate and rape and kill en masse but also want them to be hardy motivated and jovial to die at the command of kikes for the privilege.
>>536921787>Be born in 21st century>Be pushed through shitty education system without a second thought>Be mind-raped by Jewish propaganda>Millennial and Gen X parents gave up on you to be whores>Nobody ever pushes you or tried to help you>Tfw it's your own fault, fuck zoomers
I wonder if they actually meant to ruin humanity or whether it was just a total balls-up.
>>536922444>niggers will suddenly become useful and appreciative of the jew.LOL. Niggers hate jews even more than they hate Whites.
work for what ?
>>536922700the pain we feel is surely intended, i think the kikes pictured it more like making the nons useful and gloating over us in a golden city vs everything declining because itd literally just be cheaper and better to not hire vs hiring nons. >>536922901yup. kikes are the most retarded beings to ever blight the surface of the earth.
>>536922687Who gave up on GenX and Millenials?>whore outWhat?
>>536921155>while individuals diagnosed with gender dysphoria are now disqualified from service, further narrowing the eligible pool.Oh no a few dozen mentally ill trannies can't serve! The US military will never recover from this!
GrimThe sooner the excesses of wealth and modernity are culled, the better
>>536922622>brings up jews for no reasonCringe.
Employers seem to only want to hire people who don't have better things to do than to be at work. I don't like that system.
>>536922398Our resident broccoli head at my factory zero notice quit on us. All that shit is true. They fuck up in ways that shouldn't be possible. And this is a white kid not some mystery mutt.
>>536921155>Non-DeployableThat's where you're wrong.
>>536921155You don't get to castrate us chemically, deprive us of money and pussy and get productive members of society at the same time. Unfortunately however it still doesnt matter, the only losers remain the gen z men.
>>536927996>zero notice How much notice would you have given him upon firing? None? Then shut the fuck up
>>536921155>>536921169>>536921198>>536921224This is just masking the impact of the covid vaxx on genZ. Millennials were also broke and unmotivated. The vaxx is causing heart issues to crop up statistically id imagine.
>>536921843Kids life is ruined. All 3 of those girls immedietely got the ick and are going to start avoiding him more and more and kids at school will find out and all the other girls will get icked too and he's gonna get bullied until he kills himself or troons out and shoots up the school.
>>536921155>1997 and 2012The range has changed like 20 times. It was 1994-2015 at first. Then they started chaning how long one generation lasts. Used to always be no less than 20 years.
>>536927996You types are the worst, proud of your demeaning job at the slop factory, perfect goy mentality
I literally do not care, nothing in my life depends upon zoomers being productive, in fact it makes my life easier that they do not enter the workforce.
>SedentaryLiterally every human EVER who's a natural human is classified as sedentary even including hunting and caring for the house and collecting water.They think that you working some McJob that actually destroys your heart through stress and repeptitive meaningless motion is "not sedentary" and is good.Natural humans did 2.5 hours of movement per day, the definition of sedentary is less than... 8 hours of movement per day.Bullshit lmao, mcjobs and warehouse work don't make you healthy.
>>536930163Deserved. Not my problem
>>536922687>mutilate>misfeed>mislead>your own children>for roughly 20 years>WTF HOW COME THEY'RE SO FUCKED>WTF HOW COME NOBODY TAKES ME SERIOUSLY
>>536921843Would they have done the same if the kids were black?
>>536921155Those retards can't read more than a few paragraphs, let alone process and summarize what they read.

>>536921155Jewish world is pure hell, I can't blame kids for using games as escapism
>>536921155Yeah every generation gets more and more like that. More NEETish. The world is about to change completely with infinite robot slaves replacing the working class so it doesn't really matter anyway
>>536921155>reddit spacing>tldr>reeee why arent you pullin up le bootstraps and being a dedicated shekle slave!?!?neets do as they please. You need to sit in a wage cage for 40hrs a week minimum.
>>536933784this is so goodf
>>536933784That's grim.
>>536921155cringeI was skilled in academics and they treated me like shit every day since I was born for being a blue eyed white man who suffered their rabbi mutilation ritual every day treated with exponential shit, shoving exponential shit in my face and saying just exponent because I said so or else. all academia is guilty for treason
>>536933784Side note. The jump between NES, SNES, N64 was a bigger jump than Xbox, Xbox360, XboxOne.
>>536921155bad goy zoomers. replace them with jeets!
>>536921155>Generation Z, those born between 1997 and 2012The oldest “zoomer” is 29 and the youngest is 14.Provide evidence or reasoning that this isn’t an arbitrary date range to create a fictional age cohort.
