What's Happening To Western Youth?
Just listening to a speech from Auschwitz. Terrifying Statistics. Over 30 87% think Israel has a right to exist. Under 30 to 40%. What has happened for them to think that? Social media? Continuous anti Israel propaganda from anti semitic teachers? Unchecked Islamic invasion and non integration? What's happened? At this rate the next generation of the western world will be assisting the terrorists. Millions died to defeat this hatred we now appear to be allowing it back.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Western youth has developed/is developing a sense of disobedience. Whatever experienced adults/authorities say, the young people will not accept it. They are not brought up to follow simple rules, so that when they are older, they disobey/disregard more-complex rules. This attitude starts at an early age, in school, where they spend too much time in front of a screen, and too little time interacting with real people, namely, school teachers and fellow pupils. The result is that there is a lack of connection with the real world, which means that the youngsters of today live in their own world. The effects of that can be seen in civil disobedience, and similar attitudes.
What's happening is the same as ever happened with the possible exception of the attitude to Jews and Jewishness.
To hold ones hands up in horror at the mindset of youth suggests a lifetime of not paying attention.
Too much false information and the availability may have accelerated things but it's long been a badge of honour to fight the system daddy-o.
I don't think it is the same as ever happened. Young people have always rebelled but they don't now. They conform to the language and demands of the so called politically correct. Perhaps labels like racist, Islamophobe, fascist, homophobe, transphobe, etc, used so freely by those who insist that their way is the only way, are partly to blame. Young people dare not conform. They dare not think differently because their peers dare not think differently. They are programmed to conform.
It's one thing to differentiate one's generation from one's parents. New music, different fashion, different hairstyle, different politics, etc. Is fine. It is quite another to disparage one's nation's past heritage & heroes, to want to overturn everything of value in the superior culture they were born into, to mock basic understanding of reality, and throw everything achieved over centuries of evolving our society away. This latest change of attitude goes beyond the small teenage rebellions and minor differences of opinion seen in the past.
I've just said this in another answer - I agree completely with O_G on this . ( Are we soul-mates? I disagree equally completely on some other issues.)
I find this in my younger grandchildren, even the 19 yr-old is tainted. A very subtle brainwashing about how awful our history is and so how worthy we are of beingreplaces seems to bethe cause. They'll argue the toss with me.
"Social media? Continuous anti Israel propaganda from anti semitic teachers? Unchecked Islamic invasion and non integration? What's happened?"
All of the above plus anti-zionism espoused by the political left, ineptitude of modern British goverments to tackle islamic ideology, breakdown of traditional Judeo-Christian values and education, completely biased mainstream media.
"Lefty schools and uni's brainwashing students"
