Some people, as they age, learn to accept the world's injustice. Others just learn to fight harder.

There's data on this: https://d6c748xw2pzm8.cloudfront.net/prod/42800fa0-876c-11ed-b4ef-3dee38a55a6d-standard.png
Millenials, and presumably gen z, are getting less conservative with age, a complete reversal of the traditional trend. We're also the first generation that's poorer than our parents.
They kept the money flowing in the post-war economy, and kept propping it up with increasing globalisation, pushing the poverty onto poorer nations, but it looks like that's stopped working and now the economy is cannibalising its own young.
I hope this sparks revolution, and I see our job right now as building the structures that will make a better world afterwards.
