“You’ll become more conservative as you get older.”
I have consistently grown more and more leftist as I’ve grown older. Rent goes up faster than taxes. [redacted] your landlord.
And isn’t it fun when rent goes up even when the mortgage does not? And especially when the mortgage is fully paid off?
I was also told that about conservatism. Actually understanding conservatism and capitalism - and how fascism is essentially the corporate state - has bodily yeeted me so far left that I’m two shakes away from being an anachro-communist.
Heard this one a lot, guess they figured everyone would go the fuck you got mine attitude of the boomers, not realizing that you can’t onboard the youth while maintaining full unmasked racism and marginalizing the value of the same youths perspectives. Another one is “you’ll understand when you’re older” which to the surprise of no one thing he “when you’re older” part never matures in discussions with these types.
Is this “Conservative” as in the political affiliation though, or “moderate/cautious”? I think one thing is that current “Conservatives” are anything but
Conservstive as in “back then everything was better, we should get back to that”
“Conservative” as in hating taxes and loving capitalism
