It's hard, man. I raised my kids in a fairly conservative household. They both SEEMED pretty on point. Then, one of them went to college... GOOD LORD! Sorry, we aren't raising them wrong, the teachers and professors just have them more! I've got one idiot who keeps doing the whole "Denmark is a successful socialist country" thing. And... forget if I tell her to do the research because... you know, research is RIGHT WING! Since WHEN? The other one PRETENDS to not be political but, when we start talking about masks and shit.... SHE'S DONE talking... not a civil liberty, there's nothing wrong the government telling you what to wear, where you can go, or outlawing church... it's crazy! Granted... my kids aren't out there rioting. So, I must have done something right but, the way they simply SHUT DOWN (both daughters) if I ask them if the government has the right to make me where a bra (which I don't and, never have... no tits) or a hijab (which I don't, and never have) or, their response is.... not wearing a bra or hijab doesn't ENDANGER people!.... it's infuriating when it's your own kids.
Wait, you think we paid for college? That's cute. The government starts sending your kids notices that there are grants and student loans available before their even out of high school. Some of ya'll need to get your high horses.
As soon as they can start understanding it, point out the bullshit. If there's a piece on the news do the research in front of them.
Instill a healthy skepticism, of everything they're told. Even gravity, obvious things. Encourage curiosity, and get them to discover for themselves the reason for why things are. If they can figure out how to design an experiment to test a hypothesis and understand the results, they'll be naturally immunized to this modern anti-science group-think. If they get the difference between "things fall down" and "mass exerts a force, and things will 'fall' toward the center of mass" then they'll naturally be repulsed by "you can't be racist against whites."
Also, remember there were kids in the wild west and in the depression and in the dust bowl. Kids are resilient and can grow up fast. Don't baby them into their 30s.
Check out Stefan Molyneux. He has a wealth of information on peaceful parenting, homeschooling, and philosophy. He got scrubbed from youtube, but you can find his stuff on bitchute.
Nobody ever does -- it's a constantly evolving field of engagement. Just teach your children to think for themselves -- and sometimes that means they are going to disagree with you pretty harshly; at a certain point, on certain things they have a right to, they have their own lives to live -- and teach them that you love them, that your family comes first and the difference between being good and "nice". And then, when they are old enough, you let them go and take their chance in this world -- because how can you talk about freedom if you won't let them go out and make their way?
Oh, above all else, teach them to be well read (for understanding) and give them good books...and then let them read Das Capital and Mein Kampf and other things when you think they are ready to, and ask them what they think of it. In order to stay away from/protect oneself against evil, you have to face it and know it.
I have three girls - all went off to college and we only lost one. Although she was always our hippie. The other two aren’t outwardly right wing but more unknowingly conservative - just day to day common sense about social and financial issues and the absurdity of wokeness.
I wanted to join the military, and my parents bargained for college. My mom was a Clinton liberal, and my dad was a hardcore Clinton-hating conservative. Dad would say things, then Mom would call me over and explain why Dad is wrong. I got Fox news when Dad was home, and CNN when Mom was home alone.
I got to college with a very neutral view because of my upbringing. Hearing Obama speak, and then seeing the majority of my peers fawn over him, was the red pill of my lifetime. And I didn't even know I was being red pilled. I was just aghast that people could believe a word this man? was saying! At that point I began 8 years of nihilism and isolation, preparing to become a martial arts teacher in some other country. I resolved myself to, "Well, Rome fell, all great empires fall."
College is a very dangerous place. I believe that the balance of political opinions I was raised with saved me from becoming the braindead Obamabots that all of my peers were!
Same for me. Mom voted Democrat just cuz she was sposed to and dad was hardcore right wing (he was even onto the uniparty bullshit back when Bush Sr was Pres). Luckily I was never neutral because dad taught me all about socialism/communism from the get go.
Heh...the world is a dangerous place; we are all dangerous in our own ways. My adult children became quite the little rebels after leaving home too; really got up in my face and their dad's face too quite a few times (we're a passionate, fiery people; they were/are still young; it was to be expected).
They didn't/don't go to college -- they got their attitudes...in the military (and trust me, some of the tangents they went off on -- let's just say some people really do think Starship Troopers would be a good model for society...at least when they are being young and passionate and fiery with Mom and Dad).
You can pick up ideas/ideology while you're young and impressionable from everywhere...eventually you either succumb to them (because nobody taught you to stand on your feet and think for yourself) or you...stand on your feet and think for yourself. You probably turned out ok because you did have to do that balancing act...but a lot of your peers were the way they were not because they were bad people, but because they were so sheltered and naive! They had always been taught to be "nice" and had never had to think for themselves.
Nordic countries not rocking masks, I also heard the same was true with Switzerland, and they're doing fine. Even the slums of India with high infection rates are experiencing relatively few deaths. Amazing, as well, how many of the airlines and hotels enacting further restrictions right now are only doing so in the U.S. and Canada.
It's always self hating white folks. The indoctrination is strong. Raise your kids right

If you don’t talk to your kids about Socialism, who will?
Seriously though, I worry about this. I have an 18mo old daughter, another on the way and no clue what I’m doing.
My plan thus far has been to hope they mirror my politics like I did with my parents. Any input is appreciated.

This being called a genetic advantage. A fancy way of calling resistance to covid "white privilege".
