The American educational system is completely staffed with teachers who have never lived outside of academia, and depend upon taxes from the government to live, so they love nanny states and tax hikes.

This seeps through to their outlook on life and their teaching patterns.

Liberals tend to do what feels good rather than what actually does good. Young people haven't been alive long enough to know what truly does good, so they tend to go with what feels good.

I'll get shit on for posting a PragerU vid, but this does explain it quite nicely.

Yeah but even conservatives today are more liberal than conservatives back then.
>>
they are educated that way. it starts in school when the teachers start teaching kids about what politics and government is.

teachers are overwhelmingly liberal and vote liberal.

then kids graduate high school full of ideas about making a difference in the world. how every human matters, and how we're all supposed to be enlightened and love each other.

then they get into college or university and start taking classes on advanced sociology, where the professors were all trained by former soviet infiltrators about equality and the evils of oppressive western society. you learn about how the west, specifically europe and then america, have staked their claim at the top of the food chain and built marvels, forged the wealthiest civilizations on earth, and fought the deadliest wars the world has ever seen.

they did all of this, while the rest of the planet was left behind. kids are taught that those left behind were pushed down by the west and used as a stepping stool - pushed into the mud while the west reached ever higher.

the soviets tapped into this idea and sent people to infiltrate the educational institutions of the united states and elsewhere, to plant the idea that being great came at the cost of others and that this should make them feel guilty. this guilt then feeds into the liberal ideology.

forget the fact that any society can be great if they actually try. liberalism has convinced people that we, in our greatness, are at fault for the lack of action on everyone else's part.

Because liberal point of view on the world is comforting: everybody is naturally nice and the people that are not have been corrupted by the system, all the wrong in the world is only caused by a handful of rich people (ie white males).

Since all the liberal rhetoric is based around empathy and fixing the world "injustices" ("" because most of them are just consequences of choices made by the group ancestors who is considered as the victim) it is perfectly designed for young naive people.

Daddy issues. Never grew out of their snotty rebellious angsty teenage years. By adopting politics that are opposite of those of their parents and their upbringing they feel as though they are exercising some sort of autonomy and expressing individuality. It is the political equivalent of anal retentive foot stomping toddler mindset, that refuses to go poopoo in the potty when daddy insists on it.

1. "We're all equal"
2. Fear
3. Mediocracy
4. Social catering

If you're fed this idea that "we're all one race, the human race" and that "women can do it just like boys!", identities become obsolete. In their mind, if everyone is the same, then everyone has to be treated equally.

If you're surrounding by groups deemed "minorities" and "disadvantaged", you won't be able to speak contrary to the "we're all equal" rhetoric or else you'll get rejected and possibly assaulted if you ever take a stance that doesn't put them on an equal pedestal. Eventually, you end up being consumed by it.

If you're told that everyone deserves the same, you get participation trophies in class, that the biggest word in the dictionary is "TRY" rather than "WIN", then you eventually become reliant on others because you don't have to try hard anymore to get recognized and respected. Instead of putting effort in what you do, all you have to say is "that doesn't make me any less deserving than you". Liberals cater rejects and promote equality for all, failures or winners, they all get put on the same pedestal.

Intertwined with mediocracy, liberalism promotes catering those "in need". It's basically a safety mat you can always fall on. You'll never hit the ground. So why try? Do drugs, have promiscuous sex, drop out of school, do nothing all day but eat...and you'll still be supported by the government..so why do anything? Watch TV and eat all day without working a day in your life. If you're looked at differently...just yell "oppression" and the liberal police will be at your door with paramedics making sure the perpetrator is vilified while you get full support.

So why does that affect kids the most? Because kids don't watch the news, don't read philosophy, don't understand economics and politics, don't look at history and don't think critically enough to get out of that mindset.

Politics is not always a big topic, even in the upper class, for a personnal anecdoteI have a brother with exact same academic level as me and he never expresses any political opionion nor have the will to debate even on really important topics.

A lot of people just don't give a shit about politics and focus their live on other things.

Something they learned from their boomer parents who got lived when shit was still moving forward, they had room to be generous, which the current generation doesn't.

I don't know how many old shits I've seen supporting """refugees""" coming into this country, thereby dooming their children and grandchildren to becoming minorities in their own countries (long after they themselves are dead), and yet lefties still claim the older generation is the racist one.

Marxist domination of academia after ww2, because all sorts of nationalism was frowned upon, also helped accelerate that. Who cares how many lolbertarian/"redpilled" youtubers there are with the shit that people get taught in school. It takes a genius or a tremendous amount of help to unlearn that.

Kids are more liberal because they have an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex, where logic and reason are formed.
Their solutions to social problems are emotional, impulsive, not thought-out, and lack scientific rigor.

I was homeschooled almost all the way through and ended up libertarian as fuck and on my way to a good college. My kids will never see the inside of a public elementary school, and they can make their own choices 7th grade and up. They will probably end up just walking out the doors one day like me though if they do try it out. Public school was shit academically and socially. It breeds a collectivist group mentality, which breeds various forms of anti-classical liberalism.

I didn't develop normie social skills though, but I have my own friend group of oddkids so who gives a fuck.

Good fragment.

History, however, seems to suggest that the
age of decline of a great nation is often a
period which shows a tendency to
philanthropy and to sympathy for other
races. This phase may not be contradictory
to the feeling described in the previous
paragraph, that the dominant race has the
right to rule the world. For the citizens of the
great nation enjoy the role of Lady Bountiful.
As long as it retains its status of leadership,
the imperial people are glad to be generous,
even if slightly condescending. The rights of
citizenship are generously bestowed on every
race, even those formerly subject, and the
equality of mankind is proclaimed. The
Roman Empire passed through this phase,
when equal citizenship was thrown open to
all peoples, such provincials even becoming
senators and emperors.

The Arab Empire of Baghdad was equally,
perhaps even more, generous. During the
Age of Conquests, pure-bred Arabs had
constituted a ruling class, but in the ninth
century the empire was completely
cosmopolitan.

State assistance to the young and the poor
was equally generous. University students
received government grants to cover their
expenses while they were receiving higher
education. The State likewise offered free
medical treatment to the poor. The first free
public hospital was opened in Baghdad in
the reign of Harun al-Rashid (786-809), and
under his son, Mamun, free public hospitals
sprang up all over the Arab world from Spain
to what is now Pakistan.

The impression that it will always be
automatically rich causes the declining
empire to spend lavishly on its own
benevolence, until such time as the economy
collapses, the universities are closed and the
hospitals fall into ruin.

It may perhaps be incorrect to picture the
welfare state as the high-water mark of
human attainment. It may merely prove to
be one more regular milestone in the lifestory
of an ageing and decrepit empire.
