When they are younger you control what media they consume, what games they play, and who they are allowed to interact with. You ultimately control what schools they go to, where they live, and where they can spend time.

Yes it's too late once they are in their adolescence or older, that's why the formative years are so important to impart the basics of life so they can grow more independently later on.

Yes, I understand that. But with information overload as it is now unless you lock your kid in a closet they are going to be exposed to things you don't want no matter how hard you work at it. In my experience when I tried to give my son reasons for choosing certain things in his inexperienced mind he just figured that I was old-fashioned and out of touch with current year. He is an adult and can now see the logic of my point of view, but at the time as a rebellious teenager he had no appreciation for my morality.

What the fuck information overload are you talking about when "you control what media they consume". I had never even seen a scary movie until I was 11 or 12. Bedtime when I was really young (5-9) was 8 and then later on 9pm, we were allowed to watch maybe 1 or 2 tv shows a day. Honestly we were so exhausted from running around outside all afternoon we barely made it that late anyway.

You're as bad as the fat kids parents who have no idea how that happened. Couldn't be the free access to all the junk food kept stocked in the kitchen... Lazy parenting is just as bad as neglectful parenting when you are in a society with a government, media, and education system actively trying to corrupt your children. Of course it takes extra effort to fight back.

I was also exposed to libtardation throughout school and the media, but because of my upbringing I never switched sides. I considered it sure, but if you can think for yourself none of the arguments on the left hold up, even to children. Even in highschool the majority of students were conservative in my area (central valley of california). I'm not counting all the migrant children, I'm sure every last one was demonrat brainwashed from the get go, which is why none of us still live in California.
