        “when you’re older you’ll be conservative”

        Judging by my own personal trajectory, that isn't looking likely. :lenin-sure:

          Me at 25 - Liberal democracy is cool, pacificism and non-violent resistance are the way forward, the Civil Rights movement made major, lasting achievements, and there are justifiable international interventions.

          Me at 35 - Face the wall, Liberal!

      “Actually if you lived in Nazi Germany you would have supported them”

      We assume of others what we know of ourselves

        Same energy as "All people are lying about feeling empathy about others" and "Gay people are just faking" and "Atheists are just faking because no one could actually believe there is no god" and a bunch of other bullshit. Even Liberals who assume that everyone is ultimately like them and wants the same thigns they do.
