"You get more conservative when you get older" only really worked for the generations that got RICHER as they got older.
The real truth was always just "You get more selfish the more money you have".

@cmconseils Rather than directly an effect of wealth, this might be more "People grow more Conservative the more they're told they're better than others".

The same happens when racism or any other form of "some people are better than others" hierarchy gets established.

Conservatism is just amygdala-driven "fear of loss is my overriding concern".

@gooba42 @cmconseils yeah. And for some people that starts at a very early age.
