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

According to research, Gen Z is more individualistic, more conservative both socially and fiscally, and they’re already making waves of impact on our political system. Gen Z, those born in 1995 or later, is possibly the most conservative generation since World War II,

Pew SocialTrends- Generation Z Looks a Lot Like Millennials on Key Social and Political Issues
Gen Z is as liberal as millennials, if not more

whites will no longer be the majority come 2050. aoc, warren, and omar are wildly popular with young people. there isn't going to be some massive conservative revolution.

I have a theory, I had a friend whose family was the most conservative leaning ever, like you cant have a black friend

I hate that racist shite like this is connected with being conservative

Ah, yes. "The Gild" in the UK is so much more reputable than Pew.

Gen Z will be more libertarian, not progressive. They'll be fiscally conservative and socially not giving a shite.

Anti government is one hell of a start.

Maybe you should go to college and find out. It might help you shorten this post to a few sentences instead of all this lagniappe

It’s because those are the intelligent and educated people.

It's weird how "educated and intelligent people" are terrified of individualism and ignorant of economics and civics.

Conservative? That’s just racist.

I'm not one, child. My hope is every potential child you would have is eradicated before it's cognizant of the world.

But again, you think "progressive" means anti government

The younger generations are ignorant of history and civics, as well as economics and that probably explains "progressivism" which is a cult.

Previous surveys have found that, in general, college does not bring students up to a high level of civics knowledge. According to the institute's 2008 report, based on a survey of 2,500, people whose highest level of educational attainment was a bachelor's degree correctly answered 57 percent of the questions, on average. That is three percentage points lower than a passing grade, according to the survey's authors.

Even earlier surveys showed that years in college were only slightly correlated to civics expertise. For a 2006 report the institute surveyed 14,000 college freshmen and seniors on basic civics questions. It found seniors answered an average of 53 percent of the questions correctly, just 1.5 percent higher than freshmen

"Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own, and control the corporations. They've long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear"
