Hedders on Nostr: Has anyone else found they're getting more and more left wing as they get older? ...
Has anyone else found they're getting more and more left wing as they get older?
Like, in my 20s I was a fairly mainstream sort of centrist Blair-ish type, voted Labour in '97, '01 etc, thought we ought to have proper public services but had no problem with some people being rich as long as that didn't have to mean that other people had to be dirt poor.
Now, in my late 40s, I'm hovering somewhere around Clement Attlee and Nye Bevan. No doubt by the time I'm 60 I'll be a full-blown communist.
