Hey man, there are some of us that aren't SJW zombies. I was born in '90 (as were several of my co-workers). I'm pretty far-right and I know several who fall between that and moderate-right. A lot of our generation sucks but, hey, at least some of us resisted the herd mentality of social justice. I'm pretty political and I know a lot of people in my (very white) town. My best guess is that more young-adults in my areas are conservative-leaning, at least. I'd put it at 60-40.

I was born in '96. I'm white. I am on the political left. But I hate this PC shit. I want equal opportunity not some shitty society where you can't look at someone the wrong way. Some people are assholes whether they're black or gay or whatever! We should treat them like assholes!
I'm attending a good public university in the USA and I am constatnly fucking astonished at how PC it is here. I went to an "open discussion" last week with BLM activists running for student government positions. They want admission of blacks (not minorities, just blacks) to increase to 10% by next year. They don't even have rhetoric, just that the asian and white majoities here are discriminatory. Newsflash: There aren't a lot of blacks here because many of them don't have the grades or the test scores. We are not discriminating, they just aren't up to the standard. Why not focus on improving education opportunites for minorities and the poor at lower levels instead of trying to fill our schools with shit? You can bet I stood up and had an 'open discussion' with them. I got called a racist. (- __ - )
Plus how would student-fucking-government change admission policies. They don't have any real power, they'd just represent the student body. I'm pretty sure that having a quota of some minority is an illegal form of affirmative action anyway!
Conclusion: My generation is full of idiots.

Hey nothing wrong with leftists who feel that way. It's nice to find some common ground with "the other side". That's why it's important to be able to have white interests. We don't have to agree on economics or foreign policy issues but at least we could have a meaningful counter to PC or quota arrangements.
It's similar to how pro-gun democrats I can respect. Whatever else they may be I can respect that they support the rights of their countrymen to defend themselves, put food on the table, or defy unrighteous government ('left' or 'right').

Shit not if I have anything to say about it. If they want a bathroom that they "identify" with then they better fork up. Ain't going in my daughter's bathroom.
As for workers' pay I think it should be reasonable. A strong country requires both a strong middle class and healthy, well-off, citizenry
