I remember being told by a middle-aged co-worker back when I was 19 or 20 that I’m just young and that’s why I have left wing views and when I’m her age, I’ll be a Republican.
I’m now around her age and still not a Republican.
Same here. Doubt I ever will considering, well, nazis.
That and you’re Canadian. 😜
It was just such a weird thing to say too. Like she thought everyone her age was a Republican?
Young people understand a lot more than many adults give them credit for.
I hate that phrase so much.
It sole purpose is to belittle and dismiss the person you are talking to.
It tells the person that they are obviously unable to understand because of some unrelated trait. It’s an ad-hominim that just shuts down the conversation.
It’s only used by people that cannot actually defend their position, but rather than continue to discuss it, they would rather just shut out the other person.
It’s them telling the other person “you are less than me which is why you are wrong, and you must simply accept that because you cannot possibly understand how I am right.”
Just be patient, it’ll come!
I am so close to mix hydrochloric acid with potassium carbonate and drink it.
