It might make more sense to ask what pressures people tend to be facing in the US and western imperial context that make it very easy to slip into confused, splintered thinking and makes it an uphill battle to get solid political education. Having a parent who understands doesn’t necessarily mean that parent has the time or skill to mentor on the subject, nor does it mean they have a monopoly on the kid’s education or experiences.

My personal observations are far from the whole world or even the US as a whole, but from what I’ve seen w/ regards to US thinking, there is something of a theme of people being all over the place in political education and having poor footing ideologically. It’s not enough to have the “correct takes” - they need to be grounded in more or less the same core, or else you get people drawing very different conclusions from the same information. If that makes sense.

I would give an example, but it’s a bit fuzzy to me on the specifics at the moment, from memory.
