Gen Z (especially women) are typically a bit more progressive than millennials. There's a minority of Gen Z conservative men, but it's overstated.
Arguably better media literacy amongst Gen Z, likely because they grew up with social media at its peak.
Better tech literacy amongst millenials perhaps due to multiple major technical changes during that period and harder to use systems

I'd say though that millenials and Gen Z are actually very similar on the whole in their beliefs, just with differences in degree. There's a bigger gap from both of these generations to Gen X and Boomers. You can see this from the much higher conservative voting rates that kick in from Gen X and later.

Many years ago I talked with a friend about racism, and what would be next when we "fixed" that one day.

He said age, and now you mother fuckers have named every single decade and put people in a box with a label stamped to it.

Guys a prophet I guess.
