evacideI don't understand the people who told me I would get more conservative with age. The more powerful I become, the more angry I get at the people who abuse their power and the more aware I become of the ways in which systemic oppression functions.
20-year old me totally believed that tech was a meritocracy where people pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and that the 30-something guys I dated were attracted to me because I was so mature.
Kit Rhett Aultman@evacide Yeah, as I got older I gained more and more experience to refute the myths I was raised on, and belief in (and defense of) them is crucial to being conservative.
