When does a bloke become “an old man”?
Back then, leftists were mostly liberals, and conservatives were leaning authoritarian and now leftists are mostly authoritarians, and conservatives are leaning liberal, so it is all very confusing.

I don’t see those on the left as authoritarian; rather they recognise the need for community-centred structures. Conservatives want small govt & few regulations. The left recognises that rampant “enterprise” is the cause of major world problems; imminent ecological collapse.

Personally, I am suspicious when people find their opinions on complicated issues to be well aligned with those of their friends, and one's friends are better predictors of one's thoughts than education and expertise. Few people have agency over their opinions.
