Eventually, it will overflow and you will become fascist

I was slightly conservative when I was young. Now I don't know what political orientation I have

I was politically ambivalent as a young voter.

Now, I'm pretty much convinced the rich people (and the parties that represent them) are just out there to screw everyone else over. And every single year just adds more evidence to the pile.

I don't think there is any conceivable scenario in which anyone can convince me that free market will magically fix all problems. It's nonsense.

Yep, hence why Communism is necessary.

If something, as years roll on talking to people with different experiences enriched me as a person.

Yeah I think they misunderstood what was happening cause they were getting wealthier as they got older.

Honestly, you just become more protective of your stuff and things you consider yours as you get older.

There are plenty of nerds that are super conservative about their fandoms and what is allowed to happen with them and same for all kinds of niches but the idea we would get more conservative with money really assumed we would accumulate more of it and assets. But what people do have is their apps and thoughts and those... Those people will be just as conservative as the boomers are about their money as they get older.

Isn't that plainly false? When I was in college, and just after that, I had almost no money, so I was incredibly protective of my stuff and things I considered mine. Later my income went up, so I didn't need to worry about it as much. Surely many other people have had similar experiences.

I am becoming more annoyed by young liberals as I get older but I'm sure as shit not turning GOP conservative.

I know that conflating Liberals and Conservatives is practically lemmys official pass time, but I have to point out they are not the same.

Based on that link it says that conservatives are at odds with and are critical of liberalism. There is a subset of conservatism called liberal conservativism that incorporates liberal stances into the conservative position however.

I'm pretty old. Not very old, but old enough to be a legal adult. And I'm possibly the most liberal person in my family. I've been this way for years.
