    But the “leaning more to the left” comes from “you promised and didn’t deliver so fuck you” place. And it’s not only young people. We’ve been told for decades that “If you work hard you’ll succeed”, you have to defend your country so your country can help you when you need it" and shit like that. But those are lies the upper class tells everyone else.

      Well, sure, but I’d say radicalization increasing on both ends is more because of the general decay of Capitalism. As Capitalism gets increasingly fucked, people seek answers, and while the general trend is to the left, there are also more fascists.
