Jaramin posted:Most of gen Z is too young to really know where they'll land yet anyway. How many of us Millennials were lovely libertarians, or anti-gay marriage, etc. at some point in our rearing? I think for the most part, they'll come around if they don't already lean left. Sure, there are gonna be terrible ones, but I don't think there's going to be enough to replace the boomers. Dumbass teenage libertarian checking in. Krispy Wafer posted:Teenage assclowns have always existed. Kids are surprisingly conservative. Any deviation from the norm is smothered out as quickly as possible, whether it be haircuts or your favorite band. I imagine it's marginally better now with the internet as a creative outlet, but that's going to cut both ways. Here's the thing you need to remember about the new generation: the internet is no longer a separate environment. It is a seamless extension of everyday life and the same cliques, fads, and conformity pressure apply online and off. There is little haven to be had and more importantly there is no filter of shame preventing online poo poo from making its way into offline conversations. Additionally there's a period of increased narcissism that naturally happens in your late teens and early twenties as you break out of that smothering middle and high school "conformity with the fad and clique is all that matters" environment but aren't secure enough in your own identity yet to be able to handle criticism or the idea that people aren't always thinking about you. It has always been there, social media and shifting social norms just makes it more visible.

Or as a poet said: A South politician preaches to the poor white man "You got more than the blacks, don't complain You're better than them, you been born with white skin, " they explain And the Negro's name Is used, it is plain For the politician's gain As he rises to fame And the poor white remains On the caboose of the train But it ain't him to blame He's only a pawn in their game

I'm having a kid in August and if we don't have full gay space communism by then, so help me!! Krispy Wafer posted:Most of those opinions and beliefs flourish in the absence of anything else. It's much easier to hang out with your own echo chamber in high school than when you get into college or the work force. I don't know if I agree with this... a lot of colleges, particularly the more privileged ones, constantly struggle with diversity issues. Stereotype threat for women in a lot of fields of study is still an issue. There are plenty of fields out there in which is it perfectly acceptable to low-key levels of racist, and people fired from a job with a competent human resources department blame their jobs, not themselves. I think it takes open-minded, devoted parents to teach empathy.

Data Graham posted:loving christ, it’s just a bar game? Not like some vexillology thing or 5000 year old grand heraldry tradition? Adding that to my goddamn list They're basically expensive pogs for military nerds. It's one of the dumbest "traditions" in the US military and I'm seriously lmaoing to see people make a big deal about Trump's gaudy metal pog. The people in the military who actually care about dumb traditions like this tend to be the biggest most conservative tools who are in for a career, so they'll just see it as a big strong coin made by big strong daddy Trump. Most of the people who aren't fond of their current CINC are cynics who don't give a poo poo about traditions and probably aren't going to stay in longer than their enlistment term or commitment. That's a really big reason why the military skews conservative. The ones who drink the koolaid stay in and the ones who don't get out.

Bicyclops posted:I'm having a kid in August and if we don't have full gay space communism by then, so help me!! It's tougher to ignore your bias in college. I'm not saying it's impossible, but unless you're attending Liberty University, you are going to be forced to interact with a wide variety of people. And if you don't go to college you'll enter the workforce which is the same difference. Isolating yourself gets progressively more difficult as you age. Then you get old enough to retire and watch Fox News all day and suddenly you're right back where you started. What we are seeing is a weird side effect of social media where some people are becoming less tolerant, but the majority of generation Z is as progressive if not more so than previous ones. My oldest daughter is not colorblind like MLK dreamed she'd be, but that's not because she's racist. It's because she's made clear to us that she likes Black guys. So I guess that's progress.

There's a couple things about that counselor.txt post that need to be addressed before anyone takes it seriously: 1) Assuming it's true, what is number of kids observed acting like this compared to the size of the class? If it's a handful of kids in a 500 person class then who cares really. It's a couple of edgelords acting contrarian because they're teenagers. I'd be much more worried if it was like 25% of the class acting that way. 2) What is the location of this school? If it's somewhere that's already pretty conservative I wouldn't be as alarmed as if this were happening in a liberal, coastal city. 3) What are the credentials of this counselor? It's a bit suspicious that a counselor at a high school can't handle teenagers with lovely opinions and attitudes. I would think that's the meat and potatoes of their work.

While you're correct, it's severity is not yet at the levels wherein we need to categorize them as a cult. In my opinion, I see it at a stage of Lone Wolf terrorism (which is, incidentally, a white supremacist idea), and it's a continuation of separatist domestic terrorism amplified by the Internet. And yes, the alt-right is responsible for its dogwhistles and parallel support and I consider them as guilty as the individuals who perpetrate the acts, and they should be treated as provocateurs complicit.

I said the natural order in anarchy is that the best rise to the top, the market picks who is the best. They compete and are peaceful. They said what do we want instead of anarchy. I said we want private owners to own their own land and businesses, and to employ people. They said that is what we have now. I said no, it would be even better. One of the guys said it was like feudalism. And I said it is not feudalism. Yeah if is safe to reach the conclusion that these people are morons.
