High school boys are trending conservative (thehill.com)

While many believe young people are becoming more liberal, data shows that 12th grade boys are nearly twice as likely to identify as conservative compared to liberal. Around 25% of high school seniors identify as conservative while only 13% identify as liberal. In contrast, the share of 12th grade girls identifying as liberal...

Shame that the concerns of the right are mostly just disguised misogyny, racism and classism.

CurlyWurlies4All,

I totally could have gone down that route if I were younger. I spent a good amount of time reading conspiracy theories online before YouTube existed.

My first election out of high school I voted for a right wing candidate because that’s what my Dad voted for, but also because I was entrenched in Christian ideaology and patriarchal propoganda.

After that I started paying a bit more attention to politics and slowly moved to the left with a few leaps along the way. Nowadays I find the Labor party of Aus to be about as conservative as I can stand. I can barely hide my disgust with anything to the right of them.

Real life experience can be far more radicalising than any immature ideas you inherent in high school.

Edit: My major leaps were: Having an employer illegally underpay me, seeing my friends lose ‘stable’ jobs in 2008, having a close friend come out as gay, leaving the church, volunteering with unhoused people, living in the UK, living in a rental controlled by a landlord with over 100 properties, and doing disaster relief work.

I spent nearly every dollar I had saved to live in London, and don’t think I’d ever seen such visible displays of wealth disparity once I got there. I got a good paying job but often struggled to save and pay all my bills.

I got to live through the Brexit debate while living behind a chip shop in a poorer, multicultural neighbourhood and heard all the bullshit about immigration being directed at brown people while I worked there as an immigrant myself but because I was white I was largely accepted.

I learned a new level of contempt for the pointless wealth of the monarchy and had to deal with a boss who was plainly bad at his job but because he had an OBE everyone around me worshipped him like he could do no wrong.

I also worked for some very large companies and realised they aren’t anything special, just willing to exploit more people.

CurlyWurlies4All,

I’ve run into multiple websites like this in the last 6 months. It sucks.

The drowning pool really sets the ambience

CurlyWurlies4All,

I love this shit. They’re always so wrong but such fun designs. I wish I could find pictures of the old PS3 and Xbox 720 concepts that people were paying back in the day.

CurlyWurlies4All,

Yours and my experiences are remarkably similar.

CurlyWurlies4All,

Seeing the collective conservation efforts of multiple successive governments to eliminate all non-native predators from New Zealand by 2050 is really inspiring.

The Child Labor of Early Capitalism Is Making a Big Comeback in the US (jacobin.com)

Child labor was common in urban, industrial America for most of the country’s history. It’s now making a disturbing comeback: lawmakers across the US are undertaking concerted efforts to weaken or repeal statutes that prohibit employing children.
