If you can't win, you have to resist.

I don't think getting older necessarily mean you become conservative. I reckon many people conflate with looking for stability with capital "c" Conservatism. I certainly understand now what one means by looking to settle down. But it would not make me fiscal conservative; become a pro-lifer; religious; or traditional.

It made me fiscally conservative in the sense of "maybe I should save this for little GopherOwl Jr's college fund not blow it at a nightclub." It didn't make me fiscally conservative as in "I don't care if they starve to death, cut my taxes!!!"

Lol I was more conservative as a teenager than I am now.

The difference is whether you are fundamentally upset about the unfairness of society or if you only care about whether you personally are being hurt by that unfairness.

No one with a conscience can afford to do anything except fight harder because it's not really about us at this point, it's about the Zoomers, Alpha Genners, and future generations.

I happily went the other way.

It's doesn't necessarily mean the pendulum goes all the way, and it's not just about politics. For example, do find some things like music or games younger kids play now dumb or worse than your own childhood experiences, well then boom, you're a little bit conservative now. The cycle repeats.

I don't think that about kids music or games
