Long ago, I was an angry young man who railed against all the injustices of the world, but time has passed, I have matured and learned so much more about things, and now I am an angrier old man.

@robpike@hachyderm.io I feel the same way. Maybe this is the way everyone feels as they age, but I do feel like things have gotten significantly worse since I was a young person.

@robpike@hachyderm.io right?! People told me I would get more conservative as I got older. I’ve experienced exactly the opposite.

@robpike@hachyderm.io thanks for giving me some view of my future self. I got a little less angrier. Now I’m angry because I need my angriness back again.

@robpike@hachyderm.io I have never seen anyone as radical as the ladies at my mom's church: a bunch of angry women from age 70 to 93.

@robpike@hachyderm.io As a young man I parroted my parents' political views if I was forced to comment on politics. I said I wasn't political. Since about age 25 it's been a slide farther and farther left, and now I, too, and quite an angry old man.
