    Except that that is slowly no longer being the case.

    Millennials where promised we get more conservative over time and for many the opposite appears true. Even gen x is in many ways already more left wing then the boomers.

    To me it appears as the boomer generation was fed so much propaganda after the war it became ingrained in society, it took a few generations to finally get it out our system but it is starting to happen. The kids will be alright.

      Proceeds to agree with the comment that young people are more left

      Did you accidentally a word there? Cuz you agree with the guy you’re responding to.

        The comment above indicated that this is the same old story as it always been. But the way i see it its not, times are changing and in many ways they are already different.

        So yes agree that in effect young people are more left but Not because of their age. And the next generation after z may have a serious chance of being free from the cycle.

        I think a more fair statement then “the young are more Left” would be “postwar propaganda made people anti-left witch became part of intergenerational trauma.” This is evidenced by how the word socialism can already trigger people into becoming upset, that is not normal.

        cycle

      I’ve thought a lot about it these past several years and I agree with you. Boomers were so propandized before there were any protections that they had no choice but to be narcissistic and materialistic.
