I’ve never understood the ghouls who tell me I’ll get “more conservative” as I get older. It baffles the mind how I’d go from believing everyone has a right to healthcare to “actually, fuck you, I’m good”.
Definitely preferable to get a bit fatter instead.
The "theory" was that as you accumulate more wealth and property, you become more protective of said wealth and property.
I'm sure you can see the first of several bad assumptions in that theory.
The irony is that many people aren’t making the money needed to accumulate wealth/property. There’s nothing to protect.
That's the theory. In reality people get more conservative because as we age we are more susceptible to strokes, dementia, and other mental illnesses.
Also selection bias. People who start rich are going to be more conservative on average, and because they're rich, they tend to live longer.
The “ghouls” you speak of are just people who were able to afford shit back in the day.
Healthcare, a house, a few vacations abroad per year, kids and their education, all on (for the most part) just 1 job.
If you had all these things, yes, you’d probably be more FISCALLY conservative to preserve whatever amount of money you had saved and use it for retirement
Nowadays that reality has changed and was twisted into something that doesn’t reflect what it was, but the saying remained the same.
Basically shit doesn’t mean what it used to mean and people forgot that language and concepts evolve or erode over time.
Or if we want to make it more visual, on a scale from 0-100 where 0 is full liberal and 100 is full conservative, the needle was moved so far to the right that the “you’ll grow more conservative as you grow older” is now on the left side of the current status quo.
