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.
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.
