    I mean a system in which you grow rich as you grow older, no matter what (exceptions aside) would do that, and if that’s the expectation you’ll grow more conservative thinking children don’t understand that everyone gets to have a good life “except the bad people” (in this case it can be both a genuine belief or a dog whistle) but if you contrast it to the world we have seen where wealth is hoarded by a select few and at an unprecedented scale you can grow jaded even if you do make wealth somehow unless you buy into the current right wing propaganda.
