Old people get very resentful of young people for doing things that are stupid, despite the fact they themselves did similar things, but they always excuse themselves as 'we didn't know better but we grew out of it now'. Basically the ordinary human is not empathetic enough, can't step outside their own shoes and imagine things from other perspectives. Which is also why anyone would be a far rightist in the first place, but the generational divide is why old people become rightist with time.

Where is the cutoff by the hard won fruit of the proletariat and the plundered booty of capital? My grandfather moved to the united states with nothing, but busted his ass to earn a middle class income as a tradesman. My father in his middle age switched to IT sales and finally broke, after decades, into the upper middle class.

Are both class traitors for moving up and out of urban squalor?

>> No.15615269

Why do rightoids always force these dumb memes like "we grow up and become more conservative", "conservatism is the new punk rawk". None of it is true, if anything you begin to see how stupid and fragile traditional values are.

If we're strictly talking about their roles within the company, it sounds like they were "entitled" to their income.

But your grandfather in particular is part of a larger generation that lived like welfare kings and queens to uplift them to where they are and now refuse to put any money back into the system so the generations afterwards could experience the same social mobility.

Don't do that. Violence, or whatever your talking about, not only is stupid but gives them ammunition to de-legitimize the right. Your actions would be in vain.
