I'm not sure about that. Keep in mind there's lots of young people who are far-right or close to it as well.

I believe most youngsters who are rather radical when they're teenagers and young adults just shift more to the center as they grow up.

Yes, you're right about that. I think the reason why we see people getting more extreme, one way or the other, is because the traditional center-left and center-right parties haven't managed to solve the issues that affect our countries nowadays since the 2007 global crisis. Housing market, inflation, high immigration without criteria, etc. So people turn to the populist radical parties as a response. It's frustrating.
