i wonder if people nowadays know that the saying "i do x so you dont have to" originates(?) from a hack film reviewer from the early 2010s

I often think about how people (including me back in the day) talk about "oh well old people are all right wing. Everyone gets more right wing when they get older."

And now I am older, I realise it's not that I've become right wing. My values have not changed at all, I am still firmly on the left side of politics. What's changed however is that I understand the world a hell of a lot better than I did when I was 20. I've spent half a decade at uni, I've worked and paid taxes since before the pandemic. I'm involved in political things in a way you don't have the opportunity to as a kid.

What's changed is that I now understand how much more complicated the world is. I understand that some things, much as I'd love them, are not possible, or are at best impractical without loosing something else. I see the ways I want the world to change and I have to think about what is sacrificed for them. Minerals, food, technology, health; everything costs money. We don't live in a society where everyone looks out for eachother no matter how much I wish that were true. We don't live in a world where all country leaders wish for peace, or even wish the best for their citizens. We sadly live in a world where there are multiple leaders who have expansionist tendancies and don't care how many people die to get what they want.

I watched my cousin, one of the most left wing people I know - a journalist regularly on TV debating some of the most deranged right wingers in my country - not lose her left wing values, but adjust to a pragmatic view of the world. What is the situation now, what do I want, what's the best way to do this in a safe, and legal manner? They're just as involved in activism, however what they do now makes a difference because it's realistic goal orientated rather than based around ideological puritism.

Now yes, some people absolutely do get more right wing and they get older (there are also those who go in the other direction) and money absolutely has a lot to do with that. I personally view paying tax as a civic duty and a privilege but I know that this isn't a universal feeling.

The world is shit, but pretending anything other than realistic pragmatism is possible in the immidiate future without the deaths of thousands of people ("the revolution" etc etc) and the installing of an authoritarian regime is complete detached from reality. And I don't have the time to deal with people who don't bring value to the conversation.
