Adding to this, I have to say that there is an entire generation for whom the crash of 2008 was a life ruining event: kids and teenagers from upper middle class and lower upper class families who were spoiled rotten, the Queen Bee or even Chad of their school, had well off and well to do parents who would get them cushy jobs and careers and lived in the best neighborhoods, went to the best private schools or public schools in the rich part of town, and had everything they ever wanted growing up.
Then the economic took a shit and died in the fall of 2008 and their lives were ruined.
Their parents lost their jobs and their houses. They had to move to the shitty part of town, leaving all of their friends behind as they end up going to the "bad" (IE poor) schools where they were no longer King Chad or Queen Bee and socially cast aside as the worst thing you could be in school "that new kid who was on the outside of the various cliques that form in school from day one of kindergarden among people who grew up together and don't like outsiders" or worse, filled with minorities who brutalized them and being told when they complained that them being white was why they were being bullied mercilessly and indoctrinated into anti-white anti-life equations by people (their parents, their teachers) who basically victim blamed them and punished them for reporting the abuse until they believed the lie that it was their own fault they were being bullied by racist anti-white blacks.
They most likely had to sell all of their big ticket toys and personal effects to bring in money to keep the family going, while their parents struggled to find work and most likely watched their parents marriage collapsed. Most probably didn't even get into college and saw their dreams ruined by the economic crash and as such, turned to socialism/communism as both "revenge" against the elites and as a means to regain power they lost when they lost everything.
