In a lot of threads here, there are so many dudes who love saying, "back in my day", or "when I was younger", or "a long time ago we used to..."

Uh guess what, WE'RE NOT IN YOUR FUCKING DAY ANYMORE. The older you get, the more you're supposed to change and adapt and evolve and progress. So many of you seem to almost brag about being ignorant and having the same views as you did when you were younger. That's not honorable, that's legit sad as fuck. It explains why this country is fucked.

Things are supposed to go forward, and change, and move on, not stay the same or fucking regress like Trump wants. "Make America Great AGAIN," so when everyone was racist and ignorant, and women "knew their place"? LOL, no.
 
Uh oh, TS is wasted again.

You do realize that doesn't mean people get more "progressive" as they get older, right? Forget your dumb "so many threads on here are...." without giving a single example, the whole point of that quote is that 20 year olds are dumb with no perspective. Just chef's kiss that your takeaway from that was "get with the times, gramps, because the current 20 year olds are the wise ones".

Sadly, far too many people fail at life and with each new hurt and disappointment or just the daily grind of life shut down and become hardened and more heartless, mean, pessimistic, cruel, dejected, etc.
 
That’s what you actually got from that quote? I don’t know how any capable understanding of that quote could not view it as speaking of the lack of experience somebody has at 20 than what they SHOULD have at 50.

Not just politically. If they view the world the same after 50 years then they simply haven’t lived and had experiences to shake them out. Hence, wasting your life.

Politically, Very few people view the world the same way at 50 than they did at 20.

Growth, age, and experience in most cases leads to becoming more conservative no matter how progressive somebody was when they were young and didn’t know how anything worked. We’ve seen it generation after generation. Beatniks, hippies, club kids, coffee shop hipsters. Generations of subcultures tied to progressivism.

Some stay, mostly because they never ventured out of the bubble. Most grow up and enter the world as it is. Which usually means some strain of conservatism. Not necessarily right wing but certainly not progressive.

There is always exceptions but lifelong leftists have usually just jumped from one institutional bubble to another where they were simply consumed by the ideals they dedicated themselves to when they were younger. You can argue they have wasted their lives

There are conservative types like that as well too

TLDR: that quote doesn’t say what you think it says

Damn. Annihilated.
 
30 years ago, Trump was pals with Epstein.

Today, Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself.

Yet you people find it acceptable to look up someone's tweet from 15 years ago and ruin their life with it.

Maybe when you're 50 you'll realize what this quote actually means.
 
People turn more conservative as they grow older, particularly in the stages of 25 and 28 when the brain is fully developed.

Women also tend to move more conservative once they become mothers, and actually have a responsibility and something to protect.

I was pretty liberal 20 years ago. Then I grew up.
