I know young people tend to be left (the whole Churchill quote) but definitely the school system brainwashes.
Young people tend to be left precisely because the academy brainwashes them. People drift right as they age because they are unplugged from the unrelenting leftward push of schools, although social media now allows a similar level of indoctrination anywhere in the world at all times.
Young people tend towards the left because they have the youthful desire to change the world for the better. People become more conservative as they age.
"Better" doesn't inherently mean leftism, in fact it is quite the opposite. Only years of intense indoctrination could convince people that their natural instincts and basic pattern recognition are bad. The young are also desperately vying for social status and have been conditioned that best way to achieve that is by being grotesque. Uncle Ted addresses the co-opting of the impulse to rebel better than I can.
Leftist talking points are easy to fall into
And so on. It's easy.
Isn't the over-socialization he talks about largely to blame? And isn't that an inevitability in cities, with technology, and of course more and more society managed and regulated? I guess that's what you're saying with the social status / conditioning. I wonder if it wasn't universities would it naturally be some other institution brainwashing them.
