My #WalkAway Story My Walkaway
I came upon this Sub two days ago. I had found a podcast that asked the simple question why are so many young people embracing socialism. I thought that young people probably weren’t embracing socialistic policies, but were more embracing certain government programs. I was wrong. When I talked to the people both in my life as well as on moderate Reddit Subs, I found young people aren’t just Socialist, many are Communist. They are also just unable to have a civil discussion on these issues. I’ve always been a center right person, but I can’t remember a time in my life where I felt so close to some form of anti-democratic government. I’ll never consider voting for a liberal again. I’ll leave a link to the podcast that started this. It’s time for me to walk away.

They are all virtue signaling trash and when you prove them wrong they just scream louder....

Yeah, but the entitlement and the absolute refusal to compete… I don’t know… they all just make up their own reality.

You did the right thing my man. Well done. You are now in the minority of critical thinking individuals. The majority are still sheep. Thank god for the electoral college or we would be fucked

That has been true in the past, but now i’m reading stories that immigrants from Latin America are voting against Democrats because they see them as Socialist. What’s that going to do to the popular vote?

I feel like kids probably are lacking a reasonable influence who can explain the issues with the ideology without injecting politics into it.
Growing up, when I learned about these economic systems, it was just simply taught about. The good the bad, so you can determine for yourself.
That doesn’t exist at all anymore, teachers are more often than not a political activist.
Attempting to just indoctrinate rather than create a generation of critical thinkers.

You know, I went to my kids teacher and asked if they had learned about the three branches of government yet. My kids fifth grade teacher tilted her head and said quizzically…. the three branches of government…? She had no idea.

Hey, not all of us are inherently socialist or communist. I lean Right, and many of my friends do as well. I wouldn't use the “some young people are crazy left, so we should hate all young people.” You'll stop young people who want to get out of the leftist shitstorm from moving or staying to the right.

The brainwashed leftist children on Reddit embrace socialism due to two reason…they HATE work and still live at home with mommie…AND, they are envious of people who actually have great jobs and have money

The reason this country continues its drift toward socialism and big nanny government is because too many people vote in the expectation of getting something for nothing, not because they have a concern for what is good for the country.

When have the people who are pro censorship / anti free speech of the people been on the right side of history in hindsight? When has that worked and become some utopia where the populace thrives?

I’ll save you some time, if you ever want to talk to the left.
“Show me a source for this information, of course your source is a discredited right wing extremist site” but it’s even in the WSJ . . . “quit with your whataboutism strawman arguments, you just keep trying to move the Overton window, don’t you get this is occums razor?”
You and your confirmation bias, pffff, man I’m so smart. No wonder I agree with everyone on NPR.

They are taught this in the schools and after years of indoctrination this is the result. Western civilization and American history is only taught through a negative lens. This is why it is imperative for the future of this country that we regain control of the schools, the curriculum and the money that comes with that. Schools are the front line in the war for this country.

I'm 52, and I'm really tired of arguing with them. Let them have communism. Then they'll find out what work really is. They'll see real racism. Harsh penalties for possessing weed. Very little innovation in their entertainment. I could go on...
We're at the point where voting isn't going to "make America great again." Nothing is going to be "built back better." There is no political cure for this shitshow. Let's fucking do this. When they come to take what little bit I've been able to earn for myself in life, I guarantee I'll make such a mess, they'll have a very unflattering mention of me in their history books.

Theory, but I think google is targeting communist material towards our young. I wish I could prove this but this is my honest opinion. I’ve also noticed many young 18-22yr olds are very communist.

Yes, I see this within our schools. I asked five 5th to 9th grade kids what the three branches of government were and none of them knew. Did you know that some schools banned To Kill A Mockingbird and George Orwell’s 1984. I have a charter school near me, which is one of the best charter schools in the country, and services many black and brown families and these assholes are trying to close it. Here it is in this story.

The only reason they're Communists is cuz they don't believe in work and think that if Communists gain power, despite all the contrary historical evidence, things will become some sort of paradise where everything is free
