For some reason I have a big worry that younger generations are more likely to move towards fascism due to the fact that holding cognitive dissonance in the face of your own class interests is possible if propagandised. And any kid signing up to tiktok or youtube is going to be sandblasted with right wing propaganda from day one.
If there's any teachers here they would probably know best.
Usually kids don't really get a real ideology until they enter the workforce but its also possible to see someone hate their own job and blame a minority for it.
Most school districts, in my experience, have no teeth when it comes to phone policies, if they have one at all. A lot of kids will do pretty much anything their favorite "influencers" tell them to do, including acts of bullying, vandalism, and outright giving them money whether or not there's some vague promise of a return on it.
Even when the politics aren't obvious (to them, anyway), it's all conditioning, and dare I say grooming, to get them used to a dopamine-saturated noisy zero attention span sort of constant state of unease and aggression. It's scary... I saw some modern variant of "the hitting game" erupt like a rash once where dozens of kids started doing it because their favorite trust fund sociopath on TikTok said so one day. I had to try to explain the outbreak of to the elderly school nurse because she was until that point blissfully unaware of what parasocial bonding was.
