it's less that they are becoming actual conservatives like some 50's nuclear family and more that they are yelling "NO gently caress YOU DAD" at the top of their lungs

it's just that where we grew up and our dads were conservative guys, they grew up with dads that drink latte and listen to Rage Against the Machine

I've heard this before, but is that really it? Studies have shown that kids grow up to hold their parents beliefs/ideologies pretty much across the board.

It's probably that liberals are aborting all their kids and conservatives are having litters that's changing everything. :colbert:

More than 70% just go with their parents beliefs. The other 30% is split between those that go further right/left.

I guess if my parents were using me as currency to show how woke we all were to their friends I'd go right too.

I nearly forgot this story but you reminded me and i feel compelled yo share. My 15 year old self briefly set my steam handle to a jewish surname for steam/counter strike, to mess with some skinheads that kept popping in on my home server. The clan that ran it wouldnt ban them because they toed the line enough to not be outright racist in comms. I hated this so on top of the name change I would set my family bible on the computer desk and recite from the Torah. The bait worked and i got them banned by puppet mastering a very racist meltdown from someone. That weekend featured his aryan posse joining the server specifically to scream incoherent nazi bullshit in legit hate and anger towards me, and i changed it and dropped the act when someone with a security background actually doxxed me and began to harass me under the pretext of me being for real Jewish, even though the word got out it was just a troll. I got mailed a box of poo poo with the turds organized into a swastika. My parents filed a police report lol

This happened because i named myself Goldstein and recited leviticus at someone.

It’s a tragic chain of events: If Bill Clinton hadn’t boarded that plane in June, Comey might not have spoken out in July, which means he wouldn’t have felt compelled to speak up again in October, which means Hillary Clinton would have won the election in November.

People are often very liberal in youth and a certain percentage later rethink these beliefs, in fact converts (in religion and politics) are often the most radical. There is a lot of truth to the old "If you're not liberal by 20 you have no heart, and if you're not conservative by 30 you have no brain" phrase, if only to demonstrate how common this political flip-flop is. But an unusual amount of young people compared to 10 or 20 years ago are embracing nativism and patriarchy. Like someone said earlier in the thread "Jump into a game of counter-strike and see"

I've said it many times before, the one thing I kind of appreciate about Trump over Hillary is that Trump is just utterly brazen and shameless about how much of an rear end in a top hat he is. A typical politician like Hillary is two-faced as hell and tries to pretend they're a decent human being, but you can tell how fake they're being. Trump is a gigantic douchebag and makes no attempt to hide it and in fact revels in it.

I just turned 30 and I've flip-flopped politically a ton of times over my lifetime. My parents are conservative Catholics so I was that until I was a teenager, then I became liberal when I realized I didn't actually believe in God, then during college I had a Libertarian phase, then became liberal again, then went full SJW, then realized I was being an rear end in a top hat, now I guess I'm a moderate with strong feelings of "gently caress you" to both political parties.

Ironically I remember a similar story but with a bad ending.
A dude was playing cs back in the 1.3 days against a team with team tags 14/88 or some poo poo like that, called them names or trolled them or something. Problem is, turns out the nazis actually owned the server and used it like a training ground for clanwars. Only unlike alt-right gamergate wimps, CS wasnt their main focus. They were a part of a soccer hooligan crew and actually fought and assaulted people. So the admin took a look the ip address, figured out they have the same internet provider and basically found where the dude lived. Kicked his rear end thoroughly, spit on him, etc.
