I heard a 15 year old say "Jill Stein is a Russian plant" at work today.
Ugh, shit sucks.
While I know next to nothing about how Gen alpha will shape up politically, when I started out substitute teaching one of my first students was this kid, let’s call him Henry.
Henry was a pretty well-intended kid, he really liked the UK and Japan in particular (I didn’t have the heart to tell him) and he mentioned that NATO stands for the free world….and mentioned that the Middle East and Russia are just absolutely unsalvageable (but FWIW. He did express sympathy for Malala and he think she’s cool.)
This trend tends to be consistent with Gen alpha people who have given politics any serious thought, and tend to be…NAFOy. “liberal democracy good and the US is the liberal democracy factory!”

generic centrist vibes-based hawkism is like the stem cell of what ideology an american develops into as far as ive seen (I was there up until i was abt 10yo, and that was even while i started becoming a politics nerd)
I don't really see any serious trends, tbh. I have more than a few that are out-and-out communists, but lots of them are just libs. I've definitely had some NAFO fans, but it mostly just looks like the general population, with maybe slightly larger numbers of radicals (which you'd expect from young people).
Or even more embarrassing: trolls on 4chan who have nothing better to do.

There is no amount of money you could pay me to deal with Gen Z white kids for an entire day

Yeah, and they still get extremely mad when you remind them of their behavior. Already had the “presentism” card pulled on me a couple times. Like holy shit, 1994 isn’t prehistory.
But about the Gen Z kids… when my niece told me a kid at her school (apparently known as a Rogan fan) started an NFT club, I just sat there and stared at the wall for a minute or two. I guess we are reaping what youtube fascists had sown circa 2016 with the UPPITY SJW DESTROYED COMPILATION #243, which a teacher friend of mine (now retired) said was spreading through teenage boys like a mind virus. They spent weeks playing a game of cat and mouse with the “subscribe to pewdiepie” bullshit, amplified by the then-nascent wannabe slaver MrBeast.
I’m reminded of that poll from a few years ago where the #1 most desired career for Chinese kids was “astronaut”, while the same for American kids was “youtuber”.
