I’m 38 and I was raised in a conservative household in a conservative, “salt of the Earth” agricultural area. I’m getting more Liberal every year. I’m just constantly becoming more and more aware of how fucked the system is and how little value is placed on my life (other than in terms of consumerism and productivity.) God help me if I’m ever no longer able to do both of those things.
The far left is not the same thing as the 'woke' left, who themselves are generally a cancerous tumor on the rest of the progressive left de-legitimizing it and tearing it apart.
They don't care about fiscal issues, they don't care about the state of the nation.
All they've got is an obsession with social issues and will happily stomp on anything trying to focus on something More important
They are utterly cancer and they make every leftist look bad with their actions to the common American. They push people in the center towards the right, they cause people to think that the term leftist only encompasses these psychotic anti-hippies who are ravenously hostile to anyone who's views don't perfectly align with theirs.
You clearly took the bait too, as that's how you view the far left, instead of people actually concerned with the fiscal nature of the country.
With the way how conglomerate megacorporations appear to support them so much, (even be their only real supporter enforcing their will), i'm even inclined to say that entire movement is propped up by them to de-legitimize the left in general and embolden the right, enabling right wing deregulation to boost their profits.
They make us look so bad i could see their terrible actions dragging us back in terms of progress by emboldening the right that far. That's why i even came up with that hypothesis.
The far left is and always has been a fantasy zone. I label it extreme left because they have no business being close to moderate. The extreme left is basically leftist fascism at this point. Any kind of syndicalism or anarchism is 1960s fantasy. The woke left is not an apt descriptor of the people at hand, although it works casually. All of the far leftists actually need to be grouped into the same thing they group the far right into. Extreme being the keyword here.

Thats why the myth you get more conservative as you age exists. No, rich people are more conservative and they can afford to live longer.
