I think that's what they mean that "you become conservative as you grow older". To me, doing so means you succumbed to the system.
I have become more leftwing as I have grown older.
Same.
I've seen a few people go from brown nosers, to union men, to "mad about capitalism". Some of them even graduated to "this guy's been reading books", I know only one who's begun pitifully stockpiling arms and ammo and another who joined mutual aid. I'm still quite young, but most lefties of my early adulthood bourgeios white educated American caste are only considering action as a result of Israeli Imperialism and fear of a another world imperial struggle. The vast majorities of these are still socially tolerant neoloberals.
