In the mid 20th-century, people reliably got more petty bourgeois as they got older.

Yep, correlation, not causation. Getting older doesn't cause it.

There's a much better correlation between wealth and conservatism than age. Almost like those who begin to benefit from the system of oppression are incentivesed to keep it going.

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
