Thats actually opposite for me. I remember being more conservative in my 20. I remember watching people like Amazing atheist, armored sceptic, shoe on head and some others that I dont remember. Now in my 30, I have actually softened up a lot and got more liberal views now.

If anything, that “oh this is an inevitability” line of thinking just made me want to submit less.

Photo is replaceable by mine, hunched over the laptop when the Internet is down. Text in the Photo the same.

Some do and some can see the issues of the current economic systems.

It's all nice and all, but where does the picture comes from?

I don't think I have seen this but the reason we see this effect is murder. The richer you are the older you you manage to live. Either you are too poor and misadventures get your. Or the things that you have progressive beliefs about will get you oppressed and maybe murdered by society. I don't think it is intended. It could easily be so however, it is just a slow oppression and crushing of everyone in society.

Yeah there is hardcore survivor's bias.

Also the statement is at best only partially true for the older bougie and middle class fucks who lived through the 80s-90s as neoliberalism did it's best to delegitimize socialism, and who dominate todays discourse about that period, due to wealth and survivor bias.

There are more than enough conservatives with bizzare esoteric tendencies.
