Conservativism is the counterculture now. Who woulda thunk.

Not so much that, as it is that people naturally turn more conservative with age.

Keep in mind, the same old people who voted for the racist sexist homophobic xenophobic warmongering piece of shit Donald Trump

were hippies not too long ago.

True but. I'm hearing there's an upsurge of young conservatives in the US right now.

of course, they want to take everyones money until they are the ones without money

Oh, absolutely.

Doubt it's a majority yet but it's definitely something to note.

It's in part due to a split in the democratic party.

Some of whom identify more with conservatives now

some of whom identify with democratic socialism

and some of whom identify with progressivism

which is slightly different.

By trying to collectivize their base, the democrats have fractured themselves.

i think there is an upsurge in financially conservative young people. Since there is no place for them in the left, they now have to look elsewhere

Naturally, an ideology that allows individuals to be different from one another becomes more sustainable than one that requires different people to operate as a single unit.

You can only fight against nature so much.

It looks like Gen Z is more right wing. https://www.forbes.com/sites/ashleystahl/2017/08/11/why-democrats-should-be-losing-sleep-over-generation-z/#447e91db7878

I wouldn't doubt it.

I don't keep track of the names. lol

It's not going to show up for a while

but...

They're showing signs of converting to conservatism faster than previous generations.

Because, once again, the leftists are trying their hardest to control, and excessive control leads to rebellion.

I tink it's the pendulum theory. The west has been very left wing for awhile and now it's going to be more right wing for awhile.

Excessive religious control led to where we are with leftists today.

The key, aussie, is asking why. It doesn't just happen.

And the Frankfurt School.

You mean that whole argument suggesting the reduction of religious influence has problems in that they've up to now basically replaced it with a lack of morals?

I know some jews in the Frankurt School planned to subvert western societies to distory them.

I wouldn't say what the left has is a lack of morals

morality can be rather subjective.

What they've got is definitely a code

And it's definitely counter to what a Christian theocracy would follow.

Alot of the degeneracy we see now has happened beofre in Weimar Germany. I'll post some exsamples in <#398973785426100234>.

I'm sure it did.

We don't need examples, really.

So what are we going to do about it?

If you've got a pendulum swinging rapidly, causing damage with every stroke, do you push harder for it to go to the other extreme, with hopes that it'll totally stay there this time?

Or do you dismantle the damned pendulum?

But people who think like us don't control the cultural institutions and (((they))) aren't going to give them up easily.
