I’m in my early 40s, and I’m more of a leftist today than I was when I was 18.

This is the truth. I didn’t have the education to articulate how I could tell that the world was fucked up when I was eighteen. Now I do, and I’m fucking furious at how dumb, hurtful, and hateful this world is. It doesn’t have to be this way and never did.
Amen.
I thought there might be some truth to it as a kid. As a 40-something, I realize it was just selfish dicks trying to rationalize their own shitty “fuck you, I got mine” worldview as maturity somehow.
Same in my late 40s…

“You’ll get more conservative when you start paying taxes.”
I have rubbed a bunch of faces in this one as well.
AFAIK turning conservative in your 30’s only happens when you own property, and don’t fully understand how you made it.
I own a property and don’t fully understand how I made it but I’m not conservative. Fake it till you make it baby.
Also I’m aware generalisations always have anomalies, maybe I’m an anomaly.
Helps if you grew up with a low but consistent daily dose of lead.

I apologize, I thought I crossposted it to another meme group. I was going to argue with you, but it looks like this one’s on me. Should I delete it?
I mean, that’s arguably incredibly conservative. “The old ways” and all that.
That’s as conservative as it gets
I started voting conservative at 18, because my parents did and I didn’t know who to vote for (we have compulsory voting in my country). Swapped to the other side late 20s and now mid 30s I can’t see it changing anytime soon.
Which band/album is this from? Looks vaguely like Heilung.
I swing both ways depending on the wind
