I’m in my early 40s, and I’m more of a leftist today than I was when I was 18.
Amen.
I thought there might be some truth to it as a kid. As a 40-something, I realize it was just selfish dicks trying to rationalize their own shitty “fuck you, I got mine” worldview as maturity somehow.
This is the truth. I didn’t have the education to articulate how I could tell that the world was fucked up when I was eighteen. Now I do, and I’m fucking furious at how dumb, hurtful, and hateful this world is. It doesn’t have to be this way and never did.
AFAIK turning conservative in your 30’s only happens when you own property, and don’t fully understand how you made it.
“You’ll get more conservative when you start paying taxes.”
I have rubbed a bunch of faces in this one as well.
