    The becoming more conservative as you get older thing used to be true. Back when you had to provide a somewhat reasonable living standard for the working class just to prevent them from throwing too many loving glances at the Soviet Union. It's very long ago now.

    I think it is much like saying "During your 20s alcohol will be illegal". It has been historically true for some people, but maybe that was a part of history that will not repeat itself for every generation.

      Yeah, perpetuating the idea that you get more conservative as you get older just means you don't have any concept of materialism or class consciousness... which checks out since it's always rich conservative dumbfucks saying it lmao
