I just saw some person morally grandstand about murder in response to a joke about abortion in a comment section somewhere
It feels so uncanny when it's not suburban Evangelical Karens doing it on Facebook but random people presumably under 30

. It’s indoctrinated by mom n pop.
These kids learn this shit from somewhere. At home.
As a great theoretician once said, these kids didn't fall out of a coconut tree!
As someone who grew up in the southern US, kids are told to be anti-abortion by the Christian churches. There's lots of churches that have youth services and after-school programs. They entice kids from 13-18 to attend with promises of free food and access to sports equipment. Many teens choose to attend the churches because they have bad home life or by peer pressure. Then the churches tell the teens that all sex before marriage is sinful, that being LGBT is wrong, and that abortion is murder.
Hasn't there been a rise in young people who were raised in more "liberal" or even mildly progressive homes who take a right wing shift in their youth? I was kinda under the impression that's were dudes like Kermit the Peterson were getting most of their fanboys.
Yep and it's because the fascist media is well funded on social media, it's hard for them not to click on a video.
Yes. I’m actually gonna push back on the assumptions in this thread that’s there’s a significant amount of young people who are not religious or were raised without religion and are somehow turning against legal abortion. Support for banning legal abortion tracks very strongly with certain religious persuasions. I have never seen anyone under 40 - IRL or online - who has espoused anti-abortion views who wasn’t already religious.
And young people ARE increasingly less religious, the statistics are pretty stark. That doesn’t lessen the risk of rising fascism of course. But young people are either not raised with religion or turning away from the one they were raised with in droves. There is no statistically significant number of young, irreligious Americans who are all of the sudden turning to religion, especially more conservative versions like Traditional Catholicism or White Evangelicalism.
It's not just mom and pop anymore. Kids (and adults) spend far too much time online and not enough time touching grass and legitimately talking to real people.
