Teacher here. I’m two years from retirement so I just don’t care anymore. There are some kids that are just not good at very many things. Like academically, behaviorally, socially, emotionally, athletically, etc. They just do not fit in. These kids are so unbelievably enraged with envy of the wealthy, popular, talented, beautiful kids because their single mom has told them they are the talented beautiful intelligent wonder kid that they really aren’t. So when they don’t measure up and they fall short of a standard behaviorally or academically or socially or any expectation at all, they start projecting and blaming racism, sexism capitalism Christianity homophobia, etc., etc. To be blunt some kids are just losers, and unfortunately, they have teamed up to form one big monster like an amoeba. They’re incompetent and do not want to compete because they fail when they compete so they just want to steal other people’s money. THAT OTHER PEOPLE EARNED IN A COMPETITIVE FREE-MARKET ENVIRONMENT.

I'm a genxer and my son is 19. I paid for expensive Catholic high school in the hope that he would not be brainwashed to the leftist ideologies around him. It didn't matter. As soon as he went to college he found a leftist gf and activist professors with agendas. Now he tells me we have no relationship because I voted for Trump. Now I wonder what happened to the child I so lovingly raised and it hurts a great deal.

Saw a guy comment we’ve been conditioned and brainwashed into being extreme…to be honest, I think everyone else has been conditioned and brainwashed into being flaccid and unbothered by reality.

They arent "radical" enough. The ones that are actually radical arent answering your survey. Not to mention anyone who would call themselves a radical is playing dress up

Going to shock sites and seeing first-hand the acts that other cultures are capable of was what radicalized me to The Right. I firmly believe that everyone should do this to properly understand what Western civilization is up against.

i became extreme when i noticed the country doesn't care about me, when i found out im being replaced in every metric as an American, every time i struggle to pay rent with a blue collar job, while also knowing some parasite gets to live off mine and others tax dollar, and when i noticed everything is FAKE AND GAY.

Gen Z is taught from birth anything that goes against the narrative is extreme. If they are against drag queens reading to children they are extremist. I dont think they are extreme all thats changed is our "measurement" of extremism.

Ah yes it's the technology. It's not growing up in a racial hellhole where we're competing with every ethnic group in the world because they keep flooding the country, and our hands are tied because we're not even allowed to stand up for ourselves. That wouldn't have had any effect. And clearly the fact that neither side of US politics really wants to be associated with us so we're just getting dogged on by all sides with no real representation at the elite level, clearly that couldn't have any sort of radicalizing effect.

You don't want to be tried for treason as an elected official, and stay with me for a second... then don't commit treason.
