@Rhodesiaboo are you basing that off of the people in your high school, or the people your age in general?

do you know many people from the regular high school in your area

@Red Storm (in NYC) People in my school

I don’t know much about the kids at my old school these days, but the mainstream kids were liberal

But then these communist bastards go on and on about the holocaust books, civil rights, and feminist post-modern retardation for the whole fucking curriculum

Back in 2012, when the election was going on we were having rap battle between Romney and Obama, and more kids supported Obama then Romney

public school does condition you to be somewhat of an activist

this Jewish girl who I might date just turned 19 (born 1999)

anyway...she said she was a SJWish leftist in high school (academically inclined people tend to gravitate towards that when they're in HS)

It either brainwashes you or redpills you, or first the former and then the latter

she's pretty right wing now though

I became right winged around 2011 thanks to my dad

keep in mind that she's about to enter her second semester of her freshman year

I'd classify her as Gen Z

I think the cutoff is 1996

tbh people born in 1996-2000 are more Gen Z than millennial

My family's right wing, but apolitical until a few years back

I was born in 1994, and I share quite a few traits with Gen Z

people born in 1982 are quite different

btw how old is everyone here?

I'm 23

20

My Dad was raised in Cleveland’s Little Italy District by my Italian Grandmother and My Danish Grandfather (who I never met)

a Danish grandfather? Interesting. I know the midwest has quite a few Scandinavian descendants

He was from Grand Rapids, Michigan

I've been talking a lot with my family as of late

My Grandmother was the Daughter of Sicilian immigrants

But they just need to wipe most of the English material off of the fucking map

Complete garbage

@FLanon do you remember what you were forced to read in high school?

Grammar is really where they should stop for the most part, let the people think for themselves later

Elie Wiesel, Night

MLK stuff

my selection in English class wasn't that bad...

I think my mother is English, because she said her side of the family’s ancestors were some of the Pilgrims on the Mayflower

Shakespeare's alright

oh yeah, we were made to read that in 8th grade and in 10th grade

(Night)

they just fucking drown you in the holocaust

I never read Night

basically jooboi goes to auschwitz, papa dies, he gets sad end of story

All I remember was in the 5th Grade I red Hatchet, the 9th Grade we red October Sky, and this year I’m reading the Count of Monte Cristo

Then again, in the 8th grade we Red the Boy in the Striped Pajamas

haha I remember reading Hatchet in the 5th grade

wow actual literature

@FLanon are you in college

when I went to elementary school in Orlando, Florida

social studies was entirely civil rights movement / MLK worship

entirely

literally no room for anything else

I was high GPA so it seems like that's the next step

My Parents were on their Honeymoon in Italy when 9/11 happened.

the elementary school I 'graduated' from was like 80% black though

not sure though, just placing my money into investments and hoping for the best

investments?

so you're not in college (that's smart)

cryptos are hot atm

My dad is an Accountant, and my mom was A Stay-at-home Mom who Recently got a job as a Substitute teacher at my brother’s school.

I've heard of bitcoin since 2012/2013

by that time it was too late to properly mine them

and I didn't have any $ to buy them

so I don't feel bad for missing out

just hoping for the best, setting up my own capital for later

I don't think I'll start jumping on the crypto bandwagon any time soon

My dad considers himself a Boomer even though he was born in 1965, and my mom was born in 1970

@Rhodesiaboo substitute teacher? Sounds like a tough job tbh

yeah, that's moreso Gen X

my parents were both born in 1966

I'm going to wait until about the '20s until I start selling

*Gen X

it's the kind of thing you need patience for

the 2020s?

yep

@Red Storm (in NYC) She usually doesn’t work that much. And my Dad works for the State of Illinois but works in Ohio for the most part.

I think the 2020s will be the best decade for the right-wing since the 1980s

that's apparently when a lot of the big gains will come in

I certainly hope so

it makes sense

a lot of people are getting disenfranchised with the left

@Rhodesiaboo how did you start browsing /pol/ ?

@Red Storm (in NYC) Heard of it through YouTube.

I have no clue what'll happen after 2020 rolls around, it all depends really

for me it was GameFAQs (from age 11-17)...found out about 4chan when I was around 12, but never really browsed it because I was probably scared of it

I thought Facebook and Twitter was too complicated, and Reddit was too Liberal

first exposure to online politics was the GameFAQs Politics board

I had heard of 4chan for a while and decided to check it out

I started browsing /pol/ in 2011 (I was 16)

I was a leftist with libertarian sympathies

the reason I was drawn to /pol/ was because of how provocative it was

(it was a lot more thoughtful back then too)

I started browsing a few months ago, before that I’ve heard of it for a year.

I was first exposed to Politics when the 2008 election happened. Back then I didn’t understand anything, and the teachers were telling us to like Obama. My dad always didn’t like him, But thought at first he couldn’t be as bad as he turned out to be.

couldn't escape politics after 2014

the whole world is a choking space now pretty much

I went from being excited over the 2008 election to crying over the 2012 election. When it happened I wanted to shoot Obama at the Inaugural ceremony for some reason.

couldn't stay under the rock for very long

The FBI is coming for me

haha

@Rhodesiaboo will you be old enough to vote in 2020

gotcha, this is really jc mcfedderson and you're all going to guantanamo
