Poor wording on my part, I meant to say most children have more extreme views than they would have later in their adult life. They do tend to mirror their parents beliefs, but teenagers are also hormonal and exaggerate shit, hence falling into more radicalized beliefs that they grew up around (or sometimes a complete rejection of what they grew up with, and so they brace the polar opposite). That's not a dig at them, it's a part of growing up. And that's not to say you can't be an extremist adult, of course. But people are typically going to revert into a more moderate stance the more they age, as they become more comfortable or reliant on the system they've become accustomed to living under.
