TRADE_INSIGHTS

Written by: Zorain Nizamani
For the elderly in power, everything is now over. The younger generation is no longer willing to buy everything you are trying to sell them.
No matter how many speeches you make, no matter how many seminars you hold in schools and colleges, no matter how much you lecture in the name of patriotism, it will not work. This no longer works.

It is over for the elderly men and women sitting in power. The younger generation is no longer willing to buy whatever you are trying to sell them.
You can give as many speeches as you want, hold endless seminars in schools and colleges, and deliver countless lectures in the name of patriotism — none of it will work anymore. This no longer sells.
Patriotism cannot be forced. It emerges naturally — when people are given equal opportunities, when infrastructure is strong, when the justice system is effective, and when the state fulfills the basic needs of its citizens.
Once you give people their rights, you do not need to go to schools and tell them they should love their country — they do so on their own.
Young minds, Generation Z, and the generations to come understand everything. They know exactly what is happening. No matter how hard you try to impose your version of patriotism on them, they can see right through it.
Because of the internet — and despite the poor education we provided them — you have failed in your attempts to keep people ignorant.
You can no longer tell people what to think, because they are now thinking for themselves.
They may remain silent because they value survival, but they clearly recognize the façade of morality, righteousness, and self-righteousness that you have created.
You may remain in power for some more time through force, but the public has lost all interest in you.
You cannot even step outside your homes without security, and that alone is proof of how popular you really are. The time has come for self-accountability.
The patience of the youth has run out.
They have learned that they cannot directly challenge this powerful system, so they are leaving the country.
It is naive to assume they will launch a mass movement against corruption — quietly leaving is safer, because they have seen what happens to those who speak out.
But for the older generation, it truly is over.
They have no future left.
A massive gap has formed between the youth population and the ruling class, and there is no common ground remaining.
Generation Z wants fast internet; those in power want stronger firewalls.

Generation Z wants affordable smartphones; the older generation wants to tax smartphones.

Generation Z wants fewer restrictions on freelancing; the older generation wants more controls.
That is why the old system has already lost.
Fight as many wars as you want — Generation Z will turn them into memes.
Shut down mainstream media, and the youth will move to alternative platforms — YouTube, Rumble, Discord.
You can no longer censor ideas.
The time when people could be fooled is over.
No one is under any illusion anymore.
Yes, we have no libraries.
Yes, we cannot afford rent.
Yes, we cannot buy cars.
And all of this is because of your policies.
The economy you have given us is far worse than your claimed morals.
Yet we keep moving forward.
We find peace in books, on social media, in coffee shops, and in life’s small joys.
We do not watch television, because everything said there is either shouting or hollow comedy.
You wonder why we don’t listen?
Because there is nothing new left in what you say.
But you don’t care.
Your children live abroad, you earn millions daily, you enjoy unchecked power, eat the best food, and drink clean water — so why would you worry?
You will.
When you realize that no one is listening anymore.
And you know why?
Because Generation Z has headphones on, Spotify subscriptions active, and when things become unbearable, half the generation will leave the country — and the other half will force you to hear their voice. And that voice will not be pleasant.
The message for the older generation is clear:
We are no longer buying your narrative.
It is outdated.
It is over.
