re: Why do kids go to college and start leaning left? I have a theory.

Having conservative beliefs has nothing to do with being racist. The same can’t be said for progressives who’s entire ideology is built on group identity which is inherently racist. Try talking to any black person who openly votes republican and ask about the kind of shite they’ve heard from the supposed party of inclusion.

Young people flock to progressive ideology as a group ideology because they haven't developed and individual ideology. Its the cool, hip thing on campus and they want to be accepted as part of the group

When people get older, they begin to separate from the collective mind and develop their own ideologies and identities. The left/right false dichotomy misleads a lot of them into thinking there's one better than the other and really there isn't. There's us vs the State, people vs authoritarians. Both primary ideologies are authoritarian. Liberals and libertarians are being pushed aside and out of the picture.
