Not many people as young as you have your life experiences and perspectives. For starters, and this is putting it bluntly (I’m rather tired at the moment), you come across as quite conservative. Furthermore, among young people who
are conservative, most of them come from poverty or below-average wealth in rural areas, not the opposite.
Also, you come across as possessing a lot more knowledge than the average young person. You seem more principled and coherent than both the average conservative and the average young person. You carry yourself, at least on the internet, as someone who actually believes in their own values enough to listen to people with different ones, and isn’t just trying to get “their side” to “win.” I don’t really see eye-to-eye with your on a lot of things, but I value your input and perspectives more than most people I’ve run into on the internet, including many people whose beliefs are supposedly more independent/“progressive” like mine.
You don’t generally resort to throwing baseless insults and you actually keep things relatively on topic. (I get off topic, but that’s just because I’m scatterbrained. I mean that I appreciate that you’re on-topic in the sense of generally not being a divisive person who wants to derail everything. Old and young people alike can do that kind of thing, but I hope I don’t sound patronizing here when I say you have a lot of maturity for your age… Just please try not to let that go to your head and keep an open mind… Pardon my french, but I don’t want to lose another person who actually tries to give a shit. I’ve lost far too many as it is.
Maybe I’m wrong and I just don’t know you that well. I admit I really don’t know many people very well anymore and most of the time I never did. Also, perhaps I just don’t know what younger people are like these days anymore. But it’s just what it seems like to me. Thanks for asking/listening.
