You're wrong. There's already a shift against progressive doctrine in kids. Gen Z are the first generation of kids that aren't aggressively more Leftist than their predecessors. They are just slightly more Leftist than Millennials are now.
Those numbers are going to be going down, not up. It's a large scale cultural shift.
When you also consider that Leftism breeds resentment mongering and balkanization, there's a high liklihood in my mind that you're going to see a lot more radically right wing teens growing up in Gen Z+1. I'd bet you that Gen Z +1 will end up slightly more Leftist than Gen X.
Gen Z isn't exactly going backwards, it's balkanized. The lefties in Gen Z are insanely far left, there's just a legit anti-woke / tradcon countermovement now.
We're going to have a massive ideological split of people into red and blue states over the next 20 years as Gen Z enters the world.
Yes! I frequently see people both in the left and right worry that Gen Z is being radicalized to either side, when both things are true. There are both super woke and equally anti woke kids. But if I may allow myself a white pill, is the fact that for the first time since the hippies you have kids thinking it's cool to be right wing. From the late 60's to the 00's any young political militant was pretty much necessarily a leftie. It looks like the pendulum is already swinging back.
I agree. My bf is a teacher and he has both ends of the spectrum in his class. Someone in a "Let's Go Brandon" hoodie, and then someone whose gender changes often in the same classroom. And they're not outliers - kids form groups based off of political ideologies.
It's heartening to see kids push back against the woke bullshit, but I don't think it's healthy, to be honest. They shouldn't have to worry about that shit, you know? Besides that, I'm worried that the degradation of natural discourse will even further divide these kids.
They have to worry about it because their parents did nothing to stop their society from being stolen.
Entire generations of children have lost any chance at an actual childhood because the "greatest" generation died to introduce Marxism in the name of "Democracy", boomers were indoctrinated into Marxism and spread it at home, and gen-x clapped like seals as Marxism was normalized under the guise of "edgy humor" and "tolerance".
Millennials and Gen-Z were born into a dystopia and we rail against it in our very souls.
