RE: The Conservative Party, Capitalism, Millennials & Morality
Even though I dis-agree with you politically, I think thats a good article and I like the idea that its not wise to blame people for how they vote.
If a man is not a socialist by the time he is 20, he has no heart. If he is not a conservative by the time he is 40, he has no brain. – Winston Churchill
I like to add; if he is not a cynic by the time he is 60, he has not been paying attention.
I think most young people like to believe in people as being positive and socialism is ultimately about fairness. The middle aged person may have accumulated some wealth and becomes guarded and fearful of losing it, so they become more right wing. The elderly have seenit all play out before, and know that nothing really ever changes.
I gave you a follow and upvote.
Thank you. I have seen this tendency across the political spectrum - to blame voters when things don't go according to plan, rather than accept that what the party in question was offering was unattractive. I suppose it is human nature. We don't like to accept that we were wrong!
