People look for causes


My question is "Why?"

I'm trying to find the root source/initial cause for a whole generation growing up into white-knights, anti-bully-ists, and SJWs. It's like the qualification to be a millenial/Gen Xer is to be an activist.

It's as if the children in the first generation of integration grew up not having to fight for anything, and their children grew up & subconsciously saw their parents' inactivity and want to be the opposite of them. ???

I have no clue what caused these kids to look for causes.

They go to indoctrination centers more commonly known as schools.

I’m assuming your youth wasn’t in the 60s.

Most of the Vietnam protests and white support for Civil Rights in the 60s were with the youth.

It's what happens when you replace civics classes with My Two Dads and other social indoctrination.

@KCT

Isn't it strange how they all look exactly like your expect. They hate themselves and take it out on everyone else.

People are getting more and more educated about a lot of topics. Then you have folks like the majority of this board who just live in their own bubble and will never understand life outside of that bubble.

You misspelled "brainwashed" or perhaps you meant "indoctrinated"

The Marxist left sure can't meme, but they can still be unintentially funny in their naivety

for the most part they don't have anything to rebel against....my generation had the draft & viet nam....they don't really have anything so they make it up....rebellion is a part of late teens/early adulthood & they just don't have anything....

Good point. The Left and Far Left are mostly comprised of miserable people. There's a reason why lesbians and gays overwhelmingly choose to champion Leftist causes. Same thing with Michael Moore. That self-loathing POS hates himself, but takes it out on normal, every day Americans. I have a feeling that's part of Bill Maher's problem, too.

my son was a perfectly normal kid and then went away to the university of arkansas and his professors indoctrinated him in mathematics and statistics! fancy damned math where they don't even use numbers but weird symbols and squiggly lines!

i've come to believe that math is just a social construct created to make everyone else feel stupid!

anyway JB Hunt hired him as a software engineer before he graduated, he married his college sweetheart (also a math major) he's 25 they just bought a house.

he's MAGA but he does like craft beer.

the ones you see on TV are losers. the ones on twitter are bots.

Because true education that benefits society and the economy is no longer the goal of academia.....progressive Marxist indoctrination is the most important aspect of public education.

I agree with pretty much all of the answers, but I’ll add one more: The Republican Party has been terribly disorganized and done a poor job of getting out their message to young people (and other groups, like Asians). I’m speaking from my observations.
