This question is for anyone, but I'd love to hear takes from parents, teachers etc. I have a relative, mid teens, really good kid in general, very smart too, but as of late, he seem to have taken on that teen boy conservative thing hook line and sinker. You know the routine, wokeness, trans issues, extremely dismissive towards any and I mean any protest, and finally there's that hard to explain but many of you probably can imagine it, its an extremely unnuanced world view where profits, results, and "practicalities" come before anything else, AKA the stereotypical libertarian that Reddit loves to rag on. It shouldn't surprised you that he is an avid Youtube watcher and man, those algorithms are really doing a number on our kids. Its almost like Youtube knows that targeting conservative video recommendations at people who watch guns, games or car videos is likely to work.

I've heard about this teenage conservative male pipeline a lot, but its quite scary to see it for real, not least to someone who's really kind and intelligent. Thank god dude's not quite incel yet, but the connection is not too far. I don't have much issues with conservatives. I have many critiques of so-called woke things myself, but whats sad is these young libertarians for the most part just have generic copy paste views fed to them by online media. They are not at all like many older conservatives I know, and in many ways, its sadder talking to these kids than those older conservatives. I wonder whats the experience around you all regarding this and what we ought to do to fix it?
