15 year old iPad kids have never once been scolded by a woke socialist, you cannot seriously buy the narrative that "the left" made them that way. The right made them that way

I'll be honest, after hearing a non-stop deluge of "the left made me this way" for the past decade, the only conclusion that I can arrive to is that we've not been scolding these people enough.
Ok we all absolutely know it is time to retire this past tense of a verb being used as an adjective please and "scolding" kids is precisely how they rebel against whatever they were scolded about because they resent it. This is why Elon Musk. and other MAGA babies.
They're getting brainwashed by their parents and the internet, mainly the latter. The internet is mostly right leaning I feel. When I was 16 I thought Trump sounded good because I was sheltered. This was in 2015/16. It wasn't until I had experiences that actually showed me how the real world was.
I will say my favorite was Bernie but I had trump over Hillary due to her being so establishment. Looking back at it though I became the person I am now, volunteer, leftist, queer etc because of experiences in later high school and college. Seeing all kinds of people. Learning the life I was raised
In was wrong. That it was hateful and backwards. But the internet at the time and now is so right wing, so unless you have people who grab you from that hole, teachers, professors, friends, family. It's so easy for it to take grip. Kids minds are mushy, they are easily manipulated.
And yes I do believe being a good person shouldn't be dependent on school, but kids are young, don't understand stuff. What "good" means is taught. And now with dear leader destroying education I worry it will only get worse. I'm glad I had a good education and I wouldn't be here today w/o it.
Sounds like you’re the age my kids are. We’re in Ireland, but even so, online had them not just pro-Bernie but extremely anti-Hillary. I unpicked some of what they repeated as simple misogyny. We did a Don/Hill side-by-side comparison together. The experience spurred them to become more media-savvy.
It's because they've spent their whole lives watching Me. Beast put people through real life Squid Games for entertainment while having various shades of fascists run the country into the complete destruction we're now living through. The "left" is America is just the nice side of the right wing.
Not politics podcasters so much as RAGE Podcasters the actual politics are secondary to getting the audience riled up right wing politics just happen to be the easiest way to do that and get the reaction that lets them grift.
There's a reason the left wingers trying to do that kind of content keep doing a heel turn and becoming right wingers and it's because it's so much easier to milk the wing nut grievence machine
I doubt they like me. 😂 I mean if a kid asked me about socialism I would answer. I teach Science so I am asking questions to get them to come to correct conclusions.
Economic policy is generally off topic and Inrun a tight shop.
absolutely they did. I’m not gonna be gaslit about preaching at people from fucking right wing cult members that want to literally dominate the world. This entire narrative can fuck all the way off, it’s a way to try and get us to drop our values.
yeah who the hell has the reach to have ever made it to them? maybe if the initial idiot was talking about "we gotta do better outreach" we'd be talking about that, but it's not like anyone contests that anyways (except doomers)
no. a quick perusal of your feed tells me you're a right wing freakshow, who critically: has never been to america, does not know anything about america, and should not talk about america.
Yeah, definitely. The ‘scolding’ they see usually right wing straw-man memes or complex issues misrepresented and distilled down to make the left seem silly and obsessed with hating men
Wait, I’m out of the loop here. Is there seriously a narrative that 16-year-old dickheads act the way they do because they got told they were acting like dickheads?
A pretty big narrative, and it's been one for a while now, is that men are becoming right-wingers, turning to influencers like Joe Rogan and Andrew Tate, because they're being browbeaten for "being men" by leftists/liberals/whoever, that men are endlessly criticized and browbeaten etc
It is, fundamentally, complete vacuous bullshit, but it ties into tons of other similar concepts, like "not all men," the backlash to the me-too movement, "you can't chat up women anymore because they think all men are potential rapists" etc, that sort of thing
Yes, and that's the other way they blame us - they don't just say we scold them, they say we won't sleep with them but that they should be entitled to that. Many of the "male loneliness epidemic" thinkpieces only thinly veil that perspective.
It’s so incoherent and formulaic that it initially scanned as irony in my brain and I almost liked it lmao and then I just read over it again like three times and realized oh no this person is dead serious
I've been thinking this every time I see one of those "scolding" posts . "young men" haven't been scolded, but they have been *told* that they're being scolded
This. They're told a story about how entitled they are as the alpha male and then when they try their shit and get rejected it's not their fault it's the uppity feminists and the SJWs
And even if they had: what fucking WEAKNESS it displays that a liberal scolds you once and you become the Joker, but conservatives can do much worse to you all year long and you love it. These guys are just wildly selective masochists IMO
It used to be that everyone blamed it on getting yelled at by septum-pierced women for making an off-color joke on the first day of college. Now these kids are Like That before they wrap up middle school and ever interact with a single "leftist" themselves, so you all need a new excuse
One could argue that if theybwere making off-color jokes on the first day of college, they were already 'that way' and merely doubled down on meeting with a bit of pushback for the first time.
Yeah, this narrative that supposedly these chuds were being "oppressed" by people giving them side-eye for using slurs is just the young person version of grandpa turning MAGA because his grandchildren didn't hit "like" on his FB memes
Even the more Excessively Online left folk will usually offer up a mea culpa or facepalm sentiment if they realize they've been picking fights with someone still in high school

Young men aren't scolded enough
Does someone think the MCU has a pro military message and not diverse?
The left thinks all MCU fans are bloodthirsty racists. You, as an MCU fan, are being insulted.
Rinse, repeat forever.
Thats the joke, no one has actually oppressed them or done anything! Everyone just told them they are under attack from liberals and women
