    I was actually more right wing as a kid. Now that I’ve learned some things about the world that’s when I became a left leaning liberal.

    In order to be conservative you have to be afraid, irrationally. Afraid your guns will be taken, afraid the gays are going to out-breed you (not even kidding, they really “think” that), afraid what you want won’t be what everyone does, afraid other people are smarter or more capable, afraid that when you die you won’t get magicked somewhere to live forever. Basically afraid of everything whether it makes any sense or not. And afraid someone else will find out how afraid you are all the time.

    They’re pathetic and not fit to walk a dog much less run anything.

    Translation: you’ll become more conservative when you have children and own a home

    Millennials: 😆
    Zoomers: 😂
    Alpha: 🤣

      I’ve been fortunate enough to have seen my material conditions improve as I’ve entered my mid-thirties which has let me start a family and buy a home. I’ve also watched my incredibly talented and hard working friends/acquaintances/neighbours be ground into dust under the cruel rule of capitalism. I got lucky, they didn’t, this has radicalized me far more than any naive idealism ever could.

        You joke, but if you ever talked to a homeowner about their lawn and heard them complain about their neighbor’s lawn…

            Your lawn is green concrete; a lifeless painting with nothing for pollinators.

            Your neighbor’s lawn has wildlife in the deadlands of the suburbs.

                A tiny little strip of life, carefully manicured to minimize nature as much as possible.

                Might as well pave over the rest of it and just have potted plants for all the good that does.

      I have a child and own a home, and am a member of the lost generation. Fuck the Republican Party and any conservative who believes their selfish bullshit should outweigh the greater good of others.

    If you’re not an Anarchist in your 20’s you have no heart.

    If you’re not a Tankie in your 30’s you have no brain.
