I was raised in a time where children were still seen and not heard basically, so I think a lot of us in my generation went the other way and just tried to be as much more liberal and open and we're still paying for it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I try to make a dent in people when I can. I figure people drift toward liberalism at a young age, and I always hope that they change when they see how the world really is.
When I get out across the country and listen to people, the resentment that I see and the frustration that I see is that we have a generation of people who are fairly convinced that their kids are not going to have a better quality of life or a better future than they will.
To me, the failure of liberalism - the tradition I come from - was not recognizing there has to be justice across the generations.
My parents were quite liberal with us, always encouraging us to be our own person and be creative.
I was raised by parents who really admired the religious leaders of the left, as many 60s and 70s liberals did.
Doesn't every generation feel like the one that's coming up behind them doesn't know how to grow up? I'm not sure if we're progressively getting worse or if your perspective shifts.
My parents were pretty liberal, but they were still parents. I definitely had my teenage rebellion.
My upbringing was completely liberal from the start. In fact, I didn't even have a Muslim identity.
Today's younger generation is no worse than my own. We were just as ignorant and repulsive as they are, but nobody listened to us.
I grew up in a very liberal place.
