    Tbh this kid just sounds like they live in a conservative home where it's just the default political ideology. I'd wager lots of us have similar backgrounds. I probably would have sounded like this if I'd had a :reddit-logo: account at that age.

      Kids who just adopt their family's politics without thinking don't talk about whether or not a party represents "centre-right conservative interests" on the web nor have they heard of neoliberalism. The extent of political discourse for that type of person would be "I think Boris Johnson is a good PM" without any explanation of why they think that.

    Shame he can't meet any of his heroes as they're banned from getting within 500ft of his school.

    I am a product of my community, my prevailing regional ideology, and my material conditions, but I'm going to pretend I reached my conclusions through stoic rationalism

    Jesus Fucking Christ, how could this have happened? Everyone knows people in your age cohort are all supposed to think the same

    It's :LIB:s all the way down, folks.

      my community, my prevailing regional ideology, and my material conditions

      I mean, aren't these all more or less material conditions?
