    There is no reason to become conservative with age. All the things that conservatism claims to improve in life never does, and in fact creates the exact opposite of the claimed effect. This is why we have more gulags than USSR ever did, and more homeless than under any authoritarian regime.

      My alt right colleague would claim that it’s because authoritarian regimes would kill the homeless and wouldn’t need gulags.
